Wish I still had enough hair to rock any sort of do besides 5 o'clock shadow.

Nope, never had hair like that. As a matter of fact, I hated long hair so much....my mum who was a single parent on a pension couldn't afford to get my hair cut. So I cracked it and cut it myself.
Mum then had to dig up $12 to take me to the family hairdresser, who had to tell EVERYONE who walked in "I didn't do this to him, I'm just trying to fix it". Went without a few things that fortnight I could tell you ......good times. Lol
12 bux!!! How long ago was that? I was paying 12bux up until the cheeky bastard I go to put it up to 14 when all the lockdowns ended.
He does haircuts and alterations and when you walk in he has clippers in one hand and tailors scissors in the other and asks...... "What you like"?
Ya definitely get what you pay for:rolleyes:

I paid about 90 bucks for a pair of Wahl clippers over 20 years ago, and haven't looked back, some might say my hair hasn't looked good since:)

Would have been somewhere in the mid-late 80s as I wasn't at high school.

Hate to say it but I think his disposal might hold him back as a player. Really doesn't kick the ball reliably for an outside player which is vital in the current incarnation of footy.

I think he can tidy it up ToO

He’s young and lacks poise at the minute. Also, a touch more conditioning will work wonders

One more pre season and look out

Has some deficiencies but have to keep on with Hugo. His work rate and contested side is really improving. Happy with how he is going

You don’t drop players like Hugo. Their real worth won’t be seen until they get 50 games under their belt.

Journeyman and list cloggers is where the focus needs to be.

Hugo is head and shoulders above the likes of Aarts, Parker and at times Ross all have shown they are not consistently up to AFL level.

Not clean. Jury out for mine, but we need to give him the games to see what we have.

For context. He’s still only 20 and in his third season at the club. Turns 21 in November! Played a grand total of 10 games to date. Averages 15.8 disposals this year up from 9.4 last year.

Going alright I think.

Seems like they are trying to get him to play the role similar to Short but hes a pure winger. Didnt like his lack of contest at times but still young. Needs a haircut though as its starting to annoy me. Become a player first then worry about hair styles

I’d just keep playing him , time we played more of the new and untried over the not what they once weres .

I think we should take the chance to rest a few of the old boys every now an then and blood a few kids , let’s just see what happens and reacess at rd 14
