Hudson

[1eyedog]

How good was the big fella last night? Don't know his numbers against Cox but for mine he appeared to out-point him live. As TD made mention in his votes that hasn't happened to Cox for a while and to beat the premier big man in the competition is a real ace up his sleeve I reckon. Huddo is very competitive in both the centre bounces and throw ins, is strong in the air around the ground, is mobile (moved very well forward and back last night to help out), links up well with our mids and doesn't mind getting his knees dirty for the hard ball. I think he is a fabulous pick up and can't believe how good a player he is for the amount of games he has played. I think he has only played 60 odd games and started at the Crows at 27 years of age is this correct? He is not quite in the Scott Wynd class but I believe he's good for quite a few years yet. Does anyone know why he was such a late bloomer? We have been blessed with quality ruckmen over the years and with Will able to take spells on the ball to relieve Huddo good bye Peter Street.

He has been huge, just huge...

He has provided so much more than just a tap ruckman. He wins his own ball, his second efforts are amazing, he is as hard as they come and does his bit over the park.

Admittedly, Cox was on one leg, but Huddo has been awesome all year, not just last night.

unless i am wrong, he was old when he was drafted. i have a feeling he was in the coon draft

[1eyedog]

Yeah ok. The record says last night was game 61. He hails from Mt. Gravatt (Qld) and then went to Werribee and then to Adelaide. How did we miss him at Werribee?

Think we wanted him the year he was drafted but Adelaide pinched him

Adelaide pinched nothing, he wasn't rated by Rhode and his gang. Pick 18? for Peter Street says enough.
Those that watched Werribee around the time knew he was alright.

Cause we had a s illy coach at the time.

You win some, you lose some, but hey in the end we got our man.

I also thought we should have got Dale Morris the year before we did, if i remember right we picked up Jimmy Condos instead. But its worked out very very well with Dale.

He's a Western Suburbs boy originally, from Hoppers Crossing. Moved to Queensland as a teenager.

Interesting, so he has come full-circle. Good for us and good for him.

I hear that Streeter is playing the house down at Williamstown - do we still keep him in case Minson or Hudson get an injury? Also what about Skipper - we seem to struggle to find a position for him - too short for the ruck and not agile enough for FF. Still loved his game against the Saints in 2007.

Hudson has been brilliant. Second and third efforts at the stoppages are fantastic. His big body helps the mids to clear the footy. Just love seeing the Number 15 being worn by a competitive player again. Hope you are reading this Sam Power.

Too right, I still miss the big fella.

Streeta is a Dog.

Meaning, he plays for your team.

Meaning, show the guy some respect instead of shopping him around after Round 6.

Geez.

I don't think anyone's shopping him around Lantern.

Someone made a suggestion that he mightn't be happy playing all year at Willy (let's be honest, who would in that situation) & may think about a future elsewhere via the PSD. Fair call.

The someone responded with who'll pick him up & mentioned St.Kilda have a habit of trading for recycled ruckmen.

It wasn't like someone said 'we should trade Peter Street'.

Good point. Sorry if I offended anyone, just defending players on our list, especially the ones who haven't done anything wrong (and if anything, are playing out of their skin to get back into the side).
