Conflicted on this one, I get vibes of Zac Dawson with bodywork and Sam Taylor.

Most key backs get a bag kicked on them at some point. Meh.

That's very true. He had a dirty day and seemed to get a bit down on himself on the day but 1 off game as a KPD shouldn't define him. That was the only game I saw of the 18's and for that reason alone I had hoped for Adams but Walls is King so very happy to accept Davies is the better option.
Jack Riewoldt kicked 10 on Steven May as he brought it up in the aflX draft. (No idea why I remember it).

Some classic BS flying around in media such as the D+ by 'Ben Wallyworth' on Fox. Some of his summations and grading are really disrespectful of clubs and their likely inside knowledge and reasons for drafting as they do. Davies for example, had other clubs lined up for him and he would not have got to our pick in the early forties. I suggest that Melbourne would have picked him ahead of Adams and Freo knew others were targeting Davies.
Knoble's selection is an absolute beauty for us imop and I must say I was not aware of him or seen his profile - so much for my research. As back up players ready to go are Wager and Emmett better than Crowden and Blakely. Certainly speed and tackling pressure are likely.
It was just as well Davies had 5 kicked on him (7 for the game) when the Vic M on ballers dominated that third quarter and their forward structure set up so well. Otherwise we would not have even got close to him in the draft.

Don’t know how you can even rate a draft yet. North’s 3/4 picks could be stars, or could be absolute flops. Won’t know for a few years.
We could have drafted the player we wanted, doesn’t mean they’ll be any good.
I had to laugh when he said “risky picks by Freo”. Had picks 33 and later, not like we’ve reached with top 10s

Exactly. Pretty sure Wright kicked 6 or so on DGB this year. Young defenders get exposed

It's uncanny
I truly hope he ends up with the nickname Pennywise - would be an epic name for a defender that comes from behind
Looks like a ginger Michael Keaton
yep just unnecessary to comment on the boys looks

Nah, I get the gags and he’s probably heard them all about his hair, but when crew are knocking his looks it’s a pretty s**t thing for our supporters and a Mod of this board to do to a kid.

Last person to go hard on this … but we wouldn’t think of some of this stuff if it was an 18 yo AFLW player. Let’s lay off the kid‘s appearance until he’s established himself.

Hmmm, there hasn’t really been any outright commentary on his looks unless I’ve missed something and the post I simply replied to seemed more a comment on that photo in particular. I reckon I could go on pretty much any page on Bigfooty and read plenty worse comments about players then comparing someones appearance to Pennywise.
Still, I hope if Hugh or his friends and family read this, they know we all can’t wait to see him play and are right behind him.
Welcome to Freo, Hugh. May you be the next gem we unearth.
I'm a bit surprised with some of the comments and pictures in here regarding his appearance. As a fan base, we should be better than that. Hugh's one of us now, so let's treat him so.

Shocking comment.
Pennywise is a nickname any defender would be proud of - can't be seen by adults, sneaks up from behind, takes away all the fun, everyone's terrified of. I played defender for a while and would have loved that one.
