    I think Freo has won the Mid Season draft. Check out the highlights for Sebit Kuek on Freo's AFL website.

    With the proviso that it is just a highlights reel, he certainly makes it all look very easy, doesn't he. Moves oh-so-smoothly and his kicking looks effortless.

    Always got to laugh at the Winner/Loser articles that appear, within minutes it seems, of trade periods and drafts being completed.

    A look at the scribes winners and losers a few years down the track would show a different picture.

    The great Dodoro, always a trade week/fortnight winner might look a whole lot less great a few years after his winning was proclaimed!

    We are never winners because we don't get the hyped high picks but instead quietly go about turning mid/late picks and rookies into gems.

    In my own backyard, Crows were declared winners five years ago getting draft steal Darcy Fogarty at a measly pick 12 and what about the great pick 9/pick 14 pair of Chase Jones and Ned McHenry four years back or pick 6 on Fischer McAsey? I quietly chuckle about the Crows "winning" drafts.

    A bit reminiscent of another number 23. I assume that the knock on him, was that at 75kg, he may have been considered a bit fragile for AFL. But of course, for the bigger boys to hurt him, they have to catch him.

    Yes, they're largely opinion 99%, evidence 1%.

    In my opinion a defender would have been a priority but from what I have read the number of quality options available was limited.
    Hugo is a good pick for us with plenty of upside given how little football he has played over the last few years. As someone said almost a free hit for us.
    Interesting that some of the reviews of him mentioned that he has some potential as an attacking defender and I wonder if this is a possible option for us in drafting him ?
    We have had some success previously in turning forwards into defenders 😀
    Shout out to Heath, Ted and now Paddy as examples.

    Reading that, I can see why the Swans picked him. He has character. We probably had Bauer in mind but once Richmond swooped on him, HHK was probably a gimme.
