Toast Ethan Hughes

[kingswood71]

I liked the way he went about it. Not flashy, but always gave 100%.

 

[Taylor]

Could run through the wall beside the open door and not even blink. I hope he has a football team of children.

 

[arsesmart]

Hughes was a great selection for the recruiting team and club as a whole. He wrung every ounce and more out of his inherent talent to perform, and at times excel, in the roles he was given. Very clear he was fully committed to doing what was required for the team all the time. A coaches dream.

 

[Ysaye]

Massively professional - best wishes to him going forward.

 

[Perfect Purple]

As with all players who pull on the purple guernsey Hughes deserves our thanks and appreciation for the role he played at our Club.

Ethan had a strong commitment to his teammates and displayed elite defense skills. As someone who never shied away from a strong tackle he could be relied upon to give his all every time he ran out onto the field.

Thanks for everything Ethan and good luck to you and your wife Jess with the birth of your first child, and your post football career.

 

[mightymouse75]

Thanks Ethan.
You gave it 110%.

 

[Paracleet]

Thanks Ethan.
You gave it 110%.

That's impossible.

 

[GoFreo4eva]

Thanks Ethan. Always respected your hardness and commitment. Enjoy whatever comes next for you.

 

[MadMundy]

Was a good foot soldier, always put in 100% every game, hope he can win a flag in the WAFL this year.

 

[pK75]

Always loved the way Ethan played the game, never a backwards step taken and hard as a cats head. Testament to his work ethic that he managed 100+ games over the last ten years, good luck with whatever comes next for him.

 

[ignoramus]

Always loved Hughes' toughness, work ethic, commitment and team-first attitude, and always felt that he was underappreciated, but I gotta ask: are cats heads really that hard? Has anyone actually tested the hypothesis?

Surprising fact a "cat's head" was actually a small anvil used by blacksmiths to shape metals into round curves.

Very hard!

You could test and verify but making public your research methods might get you into trouble.

. Played over a 100 games, no mean feat.A Mister Fix it and played the role well.
Always gave his all and some more.
Unfairly attacked by many "supporters".
Hopefully everything goes well in your future projects.
Thanks for the service.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

One of the bravest players to ever pull on the purple. Would always put his head and body on the line and always gave 100%.

To play 100 games whilst rarely being a guaranteed best 22 is a hell of an achievement.

Great question and great answer. I've often myself wondered why we say this, and now today I've learnt something.

 

[FreoRicci]

He would never flinch. He would keep the same expression whether he’s hand balling it, contested marking or going in for the bump to get the ball. It was always the same. It was as if it was nothing, it’s expected of him.

He was underrated. Feel like the slow decision making was always unfair. The best interceptors are always slow- McGovern, Darcy Moore

. Always slow kickers.

Great question and great answer. I've often myself wondered why we say this, and now today I've learnt something.

Isn't anyone going to fact check me?

 

[SiempreFreo]

Isn't anyone going to fact check me?

Of course not. We like your fact.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Isn't anyone going to fact check me?

Well played sir.

 

[ignoramus]

Isn't anyone going to fact check me?

Well played. Turns out, you’re not far off. There’s a cats head hammer, which is (now) a rare blacksmith’s tool.

It’s also the case, reportedly at least, that cat’s heads are in fact very hard:

 

[oldgoat]

That's impossible.

And he did

 

[Rhufus]

Came to write he is courage personified, never shirked a contest but its all been said prior, he should be proud of his career in purple, congrats and thanks Ethan.
Now…end this season on a high and dominate down back at Peel.

 

[Lach72]

Brave and hard at it. Good luck Hughesy
