Hrovat Appreciation Society

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

Nice little reward for the Rat. Wouldn't it be great if Lachie Hunter and Jake Stringer could also get their names in the mix before the end of the year?

For those questioning Brent Harvey's kicking.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=des34T8yZLo

He's the best kick in the comp! Absolute champion IMO.

Harvey's a jet but still a dick. But I'm loathe to waste bandwidth going into depth.

Hrovat is proving to be so much better than advertised. His kicking is really, really good and his quickness is understated. Plus he hits the scoreboard; I can see him being really dangerous inside 50 if placed there for extended periods.

Basically he's shown enough to have complete confidence in his attributes to contribute in any position on the ground; a really handy player to have.

Ps the best kick in the comp is Ablett

There's no doubt he's very neat, but I'll stick with the stats on this one. Boomer.

I would love this thread to turn into a quantitative versus qualitative evaluation debate. It would make my day!

Yeah sorry about that.

Hrovat's sick though. I'm still mad about that goal getting overturned against Essendon last year, just about the most hyped I've felt at a game. Made him a favourite 4 life.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

Wasn't it Hrovat that lived on the same street as Boomer and went banging on his door to have a kick with him? Which resulted in Boomer being a mentor for the Rat.

Agree with that. One concern I had on him after his U/18's was his disposal, but on reflection that was probably more to do with him spending more time inside than on the outside.

He's still got some improvements to make, but he's shown he is going to be very effective for us for a long time.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

What I'm looking forward to is how SOLID he's gonna be when he matures. Same with Honeychurch. They are both gonna be kegs.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

I thought Hrovat played a pretty good game on the weekend and was involved in a number of scoring opportunities. I think he used his pace to advantage and delivered the ball nicely into the forward line.

One thing I am confused with, what position is he playing? Wing, half foward, midfield?

Where do we see him in the future?

Boomer trained with the Rat to help him out a few times, also had Lachie Hunter along for one session.
Boomer gets a bad wrap for some on field antics but seems like a genuine bloke off it

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

I see the Rat as playing more as a forward, but going 'inside' - into the midfield - for a portion of his time.

With Libba, Bonti, Wallis, Macrae and Dahlhaus shaping up to be our first choice mids - Hrovat to me is more a starting forward who can step in to the midfield on occasion for the longer term.

Played well on the weekend - and after somewhat of a stop/start pre-season and start to the season, he looks ready to build some good form. I'm predicting he'll have a really good run home and am expecting him to play really well after the bye.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

March of the smalls. Hrovat, Caleb, Dahlhaus. Tom Boyd might be struggling to get a goal!
