Pick 20# Welcome to the Bulldogs Cooper Hynes

[Bulldogs85]

 

[King Harold]

Never get tired watching these scenes, so exhilarating for all concerned.

 

[W W Biscuit]

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

If anyone cares to dredge up the corresponding draft threads from 10-11 years ago, it is plainly apparent that 99 percent of us on this forum know 99% of SFA. Me certainly included.

With this in mind, we need to show faith in our selections from the outset. That is why we are called 'supporters.'

 

[Lex22]

Comparisons with Dunkley, only he can kick goals.

This. I’m very surprised it took so many posts to come up with the Dunkley one (Clay Smith - wtf?).

Similar size/shape and moves like a young Dunks. Reads it in the air like a short key forward too (Dunks was the same overhead).

Only thing that stopped Dunks becoming elite was his kicking and this kid has a decent leg.

Cooper could slot in around half forward for a year or two before building the tank and going into the midfield.

Re-do last year's draft and our very own Freijah goes top 10 easily (close enough anyway).

I'm still not sure anyone should be too surprised we basically went for the best available draftee at pick 20.
Hynes can play. Needs to work on his tank but he can play.

His attitude, doggedness, and the way he speaks about himself and footy are a bit like Clay Smith's —a humble, competitive beast who'll take no prisoners.

You could say that for just about any eager kid in the draft.

Right.

Compare that to Murphy Reid's reaction to getting drafted by Freo.

Don’t see Dunkley at all.

 

[Foxman98]

Don’t see Dunkley at all.

Only thing he has is a similar frame style of play and attributes seem fairly different to me 100% more a Dusty/JDG/Petracca type

 

[ScragCity]

I went to school with Coop's old man and I can tell you that he was without a doubt the toughest SOB I have ever known.

We all see it differently, but there’s a lot of similarities imo.

This was the very first reply to the Welcome Josh Dunkley thread

"It's reassuring to know we have so many experts on this board who have already made their minds up about this being a bad pick. I'm sure Dalrymple has learned his lesson already."

Good to see nothing ever changes.

Hopefully an obsession with one’s own family isn’t one of them.

Wouldn't go that far but he's top 20 easily on exposed form so far.

We can revisit in two years
