HP's Uniques Requested: Clinton Young

[Justin Bieber]

Summary: Clinton Young
Team: Hawthorn                       Birthdate: 16 Feb 1986
Height: 189cm                          Weight: 86kg
Recruited: North Ballarat Rebels   State: VIC 
Games: 93                               Goals: 43 

In the Hawks glory years of 2007 and 2008, he would of been a pretty solid pick. He has such a BOOMING kick that he can crack a game wide open all by himself. If anybody saw that 2008 Grand Final, we all saw how he took control in such a small period of time. His run and kick gave Hawthorn a spark that led them to victory. It was these 2 years which gave him an average of 83.7 and 70. Not great but solid back then.

Although, in 2009 suffered an injury which limited his gametime and allowed for only 5 games. This year seemed a little off and was probably still dealing with little niggles. Played 16 games for an average of 63.8, which is well below his best (20 ppg roughly). He showed some glances of what he can do during last season but was inconsistent at times with quite a few scores below 50 (5 with another 2 borderline). He much prefers to kick which is a big bonus but can he really get back to his glory days?

The Crystal Ball:
Based on m0nty's fanplanner
Price: $323,000
Position: Midfielder

Awkward price for a Midfielder. He's got upside no doubt but can he get back to that kind of form we saw previous years? I think he's underpriced although if injuries persist, could be a liability.

Decision:
An Unlikely for me. Price is a little much for me. Injuries another issue. Hasn't been the same since that Grand Final win. Although, if he lights it up Pre Season, can't completely rule him out.

will look at him, unlikely though

[Fletch74]

Young is more a DT player than SC. Turns the ball over too much. Extremely unlikely for me.

Great write-up per usual! Must be in demand with your requests lol

Clinton Young is unlikely for me, not sure if I see the upside.

[Hawka]

Love this guy but its a no from me better hawks middies to get for a bit more of a price

Great write-up per usual! Must be in demand with your requests lol

Thanks. Was transferring my SC write ups to DT when I saw ML asked for Young to be done. So might as well try to give the people what they want :P.

One of those amazing players who's possessions are worth two given his impact on the game. Shame that they aren't worth two in fantasy  ;D

A little fix up as I was accidentally looking at the DT set of scores for the past years :(.

The new yearly averages won't make much of a difference to the majority of us as it is worse than before. But those still looking at him might be taken aback a little.

P.S At least I don't have to change much for my DT version then :P.

[Junktimer]

yeah your right it doesnt change my opinion HP
