Pick 20# Welcome to the Bulldogs Cooper Hynes

[Testekill]

Big bodied forward/midfielder

 

[Testekill]

I'll try to be nice but this is a really underwhelming selection to me. He's a big unit but he's slow and doesn't have a great tank.

 

[Doggies7]

Not who I wanted, but the way the draft shaped, the players I liked ahead of him all went earlier anyway. Still looks a nice talent, powerful hybrid mid / fwd who should be able to impact at AFL level. Happy enough here considering, back him in!

Nice that it took two posts for negativity.

Go well Cooper.

, is that a crazy comp?

 

[Mofra]

We really do treat our HFs poorly on here.

Good luck to the kid.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Welcome Cooper, we obviously believe he can become a genuine bull midfielder that can rotate forward, kick goals. Big unit and a competitor.

Sensible haircut as well.

 

[Mofra]

Reminds me a little of Jake Stringer, is that a crazy comp?

Strong body, goal sense. Not crazy at all

Welcome Cooper ‘Ketchup’ Hynes

Seems like a ripper kid from the interviews and although he isn’t exactly who I’d have liked

I can’t wait to see what he can do

 

[Foxman98]

Happy with the pick midfield needed replenishing and we have done that

What a pi55poor take

What a pi55poor take

In the modern era, speed is maybe the most damaging trait a player can have. You can't train someone to be faster either, we already have a one paced midfield and the last thing we need is another slow midfielder.

How about give the kid a go. I remember people on here bagging the Bont pick.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Mick Ablett spruiks every kid like he’s selling them at an auction. Everyone’s an out and out superstar.

Is De Goey a fair ‘best case’ style comparison?

Fox had Trac so hopefully even better then that

 

[TiAn_]

Plays more like a third tall when forward to my eye so will be interesting to see how he fits short term. Needs to become a mid for this pick to be a winner.

Announcement 1 maybe you missed watching our last final as our current midfield got beaten up forgot how slow our midfielders are they got smashed that day in clearance Announcement 2 if you havent got the ball doesn't matter how fast you can run unless your chasing somebody

Is De Goey a fair ‘best case’ style comparison?

I think best case would be Petracca worst case Matt Kennedy.

 

[Thunderoad]

There's a certain amount of irony in a 'Welcome to the Bulldogs' thread for a player being set up by someone who doesn't want said player at the club.

 

[Mofra]

Is De Goey a fair ‘best case’ style comparison?

No, de Goey is genuinely quick but had character concerns. Hynes is a co-captain and very strong but with genuine goal sense. Petracca in moccasins might be a fairer description.

 

[Doggy]

Fairly solid pick up.

There are a few more picks to address some speed
