A doggies supporter on bigfooty posted on the MFC that we had very good word that we were interested in Nick Hind from the Saints.

Anyone know much about him? All I know is that he is very quick?

    This is what the Saints website has to say about him Daz:

    "Armed with explosive pace and a willingness to take the game on, mature-age recruit Nicholas Hind delighted Saints fans in the back half of Season 2019.

    The Clunes native made his debut in Townsville the week after being flown over to China as a last-minute emergency, lining up for every game following the bye to put 11 goals to his name.

    With the Saints’ small forward stocks given a boost in 2020 with the inclusion of Dan Butler and the return of Dean Kent from injury, Hind still managed to find a spot in the line-up following the season restart.

    Hind spent time in the club’s scratch matches after two games at senior level, with a series of consistent performances up forward and through the midfield resulting in a return ahead of Round 8.

    The livewire speedster was at his most impressive against Sydney, booting three eye-catching goals and playing a pivotal role in sparking St Kilda to its 53-point Pride Game victory at the Gabba.

    Hind was selected by St Kilda with pick No. 54 in the 2018 National Draft."

    Played cricket against him a couple of years ago, and he doesn't like a short ball much at all. 

    good fit for us though, good pace, endurance, line breaking, can find the goals

    What are you waiting for?? Go and have a froth or two and see what you can find out. It's your Demonly duty.

    He caught my eye a bit this year actually. Doesn’t strike me as a natural footballer, but is very athletic and seems to just go for it and take it on.

    Good pace and agility.  Nice kicking skills on both sides.  Went back with the flight.  Good highlights.

    Dees and Saints have had a chat in the last day or two. Wasn't given a name, but was told a 'young, quick player'.

    Saints want to chase Ben Brown so are trying to free up some space.

    I find that very hard to believe with King, Marshall, Ryder and Membery

    Marshall is a ruck. Ryder might retire. I wouldn't call Membrey a tall forward personally. I get where you're coming from, just what I've heard.

    i'd give him a spot for a year if he was the last player on the market or if it meant moving on from Hunt, Hannan, ANB which all seems likely

    He would work well with Jason Taylor.  Drafting and trading decisions are always better with Hind sight.

    He's the sort of player we should be after. Not high production, but has pace, tackles and can do 2 or 3 things a game that create a score. Is older than you think .... 26.

    Has ridiculous straight line speed but struggles to find enough ball and I am unclear what role he would play. Would not be against it based on low price and attributes but would be disappointed if we picked him up and did not recontract Hunt and Bedford. I would hope if we were talking to Saints we would target Sinclair or the other Phillips.

    We won't be getting Smith, Hind and Phillips.  I'd say we will get one, maybe two at the absolute most.

    Hind goes okay but I think I'd rather Smith or Phillips.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
