Not sure Hugh has been seen anywhere near an AFL game or presser since! All very odd.
Says it all really, was an absolute stitch up by the media to fling mud at dimma. Absolute flog.

One of my favourite kids at the Tigers

Really excited about Hugo and was over the moon when we drafted him and he went alot later than what i thought he would
Has a bit of Stuart Maxfield about him in the way he plays but taller.

Surprised his old man only played 34 games. Thought he played much more than that.

Yeah, he's someone you remember which is unusual for a guy who played so little.

I just looked him up - 18 disposals and 3 goals for the Hawks on debut in 1988, didn't get another game for two years - that's how good they were!

It's funny that I remember him more as a Hawthorn player even though he only played 4 games there and 30 at St Kilda.

It's sometimes tough to keep up with what's no longer acceptable. It's got to the point at work where the media relations dept now circulate a list of phrases and words to avoid using.
Are the words Tiger and Richmond outlawed in that circulation?

Jesus big call. If he turns out anything like Maxfield I will be happy.

Prick broke my heart leaving the tigers back in the day...was a big fan.

Was a fan of Maxfield also

Remember watching the Tigers play the Swans at the SCG after Maxfield went there. Maxfield did not have a defensive bone in his body. Neither did the Tigers winger he was on (very loosely on) either. Plenty of forward running

We need a pace injection through the middle and half forward this kid is it.

Theyve been trying to put him in save for his injury and suspension.
