See Danny Hughes is on the list of "Pemission to Train" with the Doggies.

Have to hand it to Danny. He won't die wondering! Good luck to him!

He deserved a couple more years on a rookie list. Hasn't had enough!

Trying to break the record for the lowest years-on-list-to-senior-matches-played ratio? If they draft him that will make it year number 5.

If i remember correctly, he played quite well against the doggies this year, in one of his two matches.

Good luck to him. His talent is certainly around the mark - it's not like he doesn't have it.

But every time he strings together a few games he gets injured. I would think he'd be over the constant injuries, realise that his body might not be designed for AFL and step down a level. But good on him for persevering.

Yeah, I thought he did reasonably well in his games this year.

Good luck to him. I really hope he manages to get onto a list and play some games.

Good Footballers should excel at VFL level

He doesnt and its why he along with hundreds of others play only a few games at AFL level (some don't play any)

I wish anyone who has a go the best of luck but this game at AFL level isn't a walk up start like it was 40 years ago

Hughes has always been excellent at VFL, when fit. Unfortunately, that wasn't often enough.

I've been a fan of his and wish him all the best... good luck Danny!

Good luck to the guy - just didn't quite make it.

Cannot question his determination though.

Not necessarily there have been a lot of footballers who find the VFL level too scrappy and not to their liking but have dominated at AFL level purely because there is more space and it is quicker so they can use their talents instead of being stuck in the VFL ... (Just this year a lad by the name of Medhurst was stuck there too long and it ruined his career)

Good luck to him. His talent is certainly around the mark - it's not like he doesn't have it

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Exactly my thoughts, Master. He really seemed good enough to me to be a proper AFL player , if only he wasn't injured all the time.

I'd love it if he got another go, and admire whoever picked him for recognising his talent. But we gave him a pretty good go.
