Welcome Welcome Hugh Davies!!! - Pick 33 in the 2022 National Draft

[Dockeroo]

Welcome to Freo Hugh!! Very excited for what this kid can do. Looks as hard as nails and talented too. Love a good redhead in the team!

 

[estibador]

Not happy Freo... the highlights music is nowhere near as good as last year's awesome tune.

Player looks alright though I guess. Nice marking prowess.

also. Seems a "footballer" but give him a few years.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Okay I love this guy now!

 

[Benno111]

If the highlights are anything to go by, He could be quite the player. He's brave as well from the looks of it.

Obvious would have preferred a forward but 30s and 40s seems to be the sweet spot for KPD. Can obviously get them earlier but dudes in this range can also be gun. Cox and Pearce, Taylor etc.

Won't be surprised if he turns out to be better than many selected before him.

Why did he go so low? This guy looks like a player.

 

[Ysaye]

Why did he go so low? This guy looks like a player.

Minimal game time in the colts (Only 3 games, although they were all good) as he mainly played PSA I believe, and only two games at the Championships as I recall (I think due to injury and also Busslinger+Adams being more advanced) so there was more speculation surrounding him.

 

[Mr Cheese]

He looks 40. Love it

They've clearly drafted on needs basis - we now have someone to ease people into the fact Mundy isn't at the club anymore.

Also doesn't help one of the two champs games he played he had 7 goals kicked on him

I think he's got the tools, and I don't necessarily think it's a bad pick just earlier than I would have expected. Good luck to him at least

Because he's known as the player Matt Jefferson kicked 7 on him in the under 18's championships.

That's what PM Bangers said. Not great hey!

And he's an 18 year old balding ranga

 

[DMan 11]

I hate myself for doing it, but I’ll be closely comparing his career to Adam’s.
I thought Adam’s was the more obvious pick, but have faith in our recruiting staff

Just to put the 7 goals in perspective.

This softens the blow.
Wasn’t nearly all on him

2 of the seven where errors by someone else. Busslinger was out-marked on the goal line and the ruckman gave away a free kick inside 50. One was a hanger by Jefferson that no-one could have stopped and the fourth was just an elite kick by Sheezel to a forward leading into space in an open forwardine

Do you see him becoming big and strong enough to play FB or CHB? Or is he more an intercept tall?

 

[Taylor]

Hugh Davies is the youngest player on our list by a quarter of a year, at least until lunch time.

As an interesting side fact, Erasmus is still eighteen until the end of the week. Very young talent.

 

[Chris25]

I personally thought Jed Adams would be our guy, but there was plenty of talk out of WA that Davies was the #2 behind Busslinger so I'm not exactly surprised. He has a lot of AFL traits, especially with his intercept marking and ball use. Whether he develops the true shut down game and can play as a #1 KPD is the main question, but he's still an AFL player without that anyway.

I was predicting a run on KPDs in the late second round, certainly had that feel to it with who was picking. And it went that way with 5 going in the space of 8 picks. I was hopeful we could sneak ours through to our second pick, but it was obviously the right call especially when Van Es went ahead of us - who I wouldn't be taking ahead of Davies.

Didn't realise he had so many brothers. No wonder mum is outa there. She's taking her cup of tea to higher ground.
