      Not the most stunning debut, but at least he's involved.

            Looks composed and a decent kick. Him and McCrae look the goods.

              I thought it was a spectacular debut. 18 disposals, ran his guts out and kicked a goal. Also set up a few goals. This kid is very very good.

                The double link up with bob was great, In the last quarter to gut run like that was awesome.

                    David King really built him up, no wonder as he coached both Hrovat and Macrae at Carey.

                      Sammy Mitchell junior! 2012 is 1999 all over again draft wise. Patience is the key.

                        He was a first gamer but looks to give us some polish to go with the grunt. Great debut, looks like a proper footballer.

                          I may be late, but colour me Hrovat! He was absolutely fantastic tonight for a debutant. Poise, class and backed himself all the way. "Midfield wrecking ball"? Looks pretty accurate from where I sat.

                            The wrapts on him seem correct, looks a gun little player.

                              Smart footballer already. He didn't want to waste a possession. I can see a long career for this lad.
                              Brilliant debut.

                                A friend of mine growing up was an excellent footballer but he was relatively short (we are talking about 175cm). He played Calder Cannons but in his last year didn't make the final cut, and was told by the coaching staff that for someone his size to make it, every part of their game must be rock solid.

                                Decision making, ability to read the game, disposal, courage, tank. The fact that Hrovat not only played TAC cup but was Captain and has come to us, assures me that he is one of those guys where you say "if only he was 5cm taller, he would have gone top 5".

                                Thrilled with his debut and well done to the bloke.
