The Mark Hutchings Thread

Featured Replies

Could be our next Magner. Clearance specialist.

Racking up possessions in the WAFL like nobody's business. Nailed the AFL Combine last year. St Kilda thought he lacked pace, but his stats suggest otherwise.

Perhaps a potential rookie selection for next year?

Well he already has reasonable taste in colours ^_^

Speed/pace is a funny thing.. Its how and when you use it often. Clearing the pill is often more about time and space . Being in the right position with the right skills and making the right bloody CHOICES !!

Then again according to 'Mark Hutchings , steal for AFL' he has speed to burn. Maybe the Sainters just got it wrong. Maybe they were concerned about OP and just didnt want to use that as an excuse.

Looks very handy Ron...you should let the club know :) We need some who move it a bit.. :unsure:

Mark played in the 2009 NAB under 18 Championships with names like Scully, Trengrove, Martin in front of him at draft time. At least 14 of his peers were drafted from WA that year. My records show he was worth a round 3/4 draft pick, who was hard at it and quite skillful. DOB- 25/05/91, 180cm, 82 kg. I thought he was a little flabby at the time. A major pre season would make this bloke - I wrote at the time.

 

I have seen plenty of Hutchings and he has been really good most weeks, looks very pacy and a gut runner at WAFL level. Seems keen to grab another chance, looks really fit for a WAFL player and could be worth rookie spot. Not sure whether I would take him or Kane Mitchell (Claremont).

Freddie Clutterbuck is also playing well but think Hutchings & Mitchell are ahead of him. Luke Blackwell probably a bit old now but also a standout midfielder at WAFL level

Are they clean stats or has his improvement come from, west coast lifestyle? I'm not trying to put this thread down. What is behind his improvement?

Apparently this kid has character in spades. Doesn't drink, doesn't party, lives with his parents - in short, a very humble young man.

That said, this is ALL hearsay - I've never met him. I think he ranked in the top 5 for 400 metre sprints at the AFL Combine too - so he's not slow.

And he's a ball magnet.

Sounds like Scully RB and we know what happened with him!

No offence RB but if the player can help us win flags I could care less if he was an addict of the highest or smashing windows on the weekends... Well not really but not a huge concern if he is a character player or not as long as he provides something to the team long term.

Your post made me crack up, but your points I couldn't disagree.

I expect you know my views on young Tom, old dee! This kid however is apparently a team player.

I was merely trying to emphasise that he has good character. Not for a moment suggesting he's another Boba Fett.

Hutchings is not the best of the WAFL mature aged players. I would have ahead of him Kane Mitchell & Luke Blackwell both at Claremont. IMO

Sounds like a good prospect, but West Perth, eh? Ray Holden, Craig Turley, and Craig Smoker all came from the Western Australian red and blue mob and whilst the latter two had their moments, none of these players really had a major impact over here. Thrice bitten, twice shy? Actually, come to think of it, have we had all that much much joy recruiting from the whole bloody state over the years? Spalding was a beauty but we lost him after four or five years. Darren Bennett had a couple of good seasons before he became NFL happy.

That could very well be true. I am not at all knowledgeable on the WAFL or its players. Was simply speaking to someone who appeared to be in the know, and he simply said this kid could be a steal.

Hence, just wanted to put his name on the MFC radar.

Yes I know RB, it was just your description seemed to be very similar to the propaganda that was put around about Ts.

It gave me a smile and I could not help myself.

I would be fairly confident we would not get another Ts and family again cannot be too many of those in Australia in any one generation.

old dee, to avoid any future T$ fiascos and inappropriate recruiting, WYL has agreed to carry out Loyalty Psych tests and Body Language tests on all future recruits. TimD has offered to do Ink Blot analysis and I'm sure we can find someone to do a Face Book/Social Media audit. You can be in charge of checking up for any underweight private-school 6-year project types.

I'm sure when all these 'Land checks are in place MFC's recruiting problems will be a thing of the past

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
