WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LIAM HULETT

I am confused. I thought we needed pacey mids with outside game. However, we got a bull and three big guys. I am just confused. Not critical. I would trust those in the know

 

How many friends does Jesse need?

Interesting selections given that many on here we're thinking - with some justification - that we still need mids, mids and more mids.

But we didnt need mids, mids and more mids. That was a myth.

We stocked up on them in the 2013 and 2014 drafts.

Maybe our recruiting team just wanted to stimulate some angst on this board :-)

Melksham,Kennedy,Bugg and Oliver Four mids ready to play

Wiedeman and Hulet Two forwards

Mitch King One Ruckman

Pretty balanced

J Taylor on Liam Hulett: "Had an injury-interrupted year & came of note in the under 16 champs, showing promise as a third forward.#AFLDraft

Maybe there is a Prestia coming and next year we go mids and pace. Also we added Kennedy.

J Taylor on Hulett: "Grown into a big strong player, played couple of games for the Stingrays this year, after some at Peninsula. #AFLDraft

J Taylor on Hulett: He could develop into a strong key forward, as he has good hands overhead. He’s a good set-shot kick at goal. #AFLDraft

Dont mind this pick at all. We know the draft tapers off here and have taken some talls to develop.

He only played a few games this year.


Anyone know exactly what type of injuries have held him back?

A 193cm utility whose top-up year in the TAC Cup was cruelled by an ankle injury that restricted him to just two outings for the Dandenong Stingrays this year. He played mainly for his local club at Bonbeach, but the recruiters were intrigued enough to ask that he play in the Young Guns game last August. Usually a ruck/forward, he played at centre half-back and showed promise running the ball out of the backline.

Ankle doesn't sound sooo bad. But I guess it must have been to keep him out a year. Hopefully its behind him.

actually it's under him :)

Precisely Dr D and if Garlett and the like can't have a field day feeding off these blokes they never will.

Hulett showed flashes in his games, I reckon we'll look at him as a key back. Stingrays thought he was a chance late on, but otherwise thought he'd be back as 19yo with a chance to go much higher in '16 than where we picked him.

I know Saints did a tonne of work on him.

 

Jarrod knows his Stingrays, this on Hulett:

@ChaserJay When fit he would've been elite in TAC Cup. Ruck and forward ala Tippett.

Hopefully plays a little like Jack Darling

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
