Great to see - one of the hardest workers in the team. The number of times he bobs up in the dying minutes of tight games to influence the outcome is quite amazing.

Congrats Hosko. He's not a favourite of this forum, but I like him.

The fact he keeps getting picked when so many think he's no good is only a testament to our (those outside the tent) total lack of understanding about the roles required within a team. You cant have a team full of Nick's or Jordy's.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

I will always remember his extraordinary impact on the 2018 season.
He still reproduces flashes of that, like in the third quarter against the Cats (?) when he came on as a sub. A great pack mark for a player built like a winger.

Such a loyal and hard-working player who thoroughly deserves this most significant milestone.

Congrats to WHE on the milestone.

He's been a good clubman over the years.

Great effort making the 200-game club. He's been a solid contributor since arriving at the club.

Good to see WHE as the Player of the week.

Great game from him - loved that he stuck up for Maynard (should have got a free too with Viney trying to take his head off)

If leaving Noble out means we get this version of WHE then i say "career resurgence"!

Loved the Hosk's game. Brought the intensity and courage we want to see from him, as well as impacting aerially, along with his usual power running and clean skills. Well done Will, we need you to keep going like that.
Also loved how he came in to support Bruz against that little sh#t Viney. Awesome stuff.

I have a theory on the move of replacing Noble with WHE in the defence

Most of our players in that part of the side are “attain the the ball and when possible run the lines into attack. IQ ,Moore and Olev so giving Will the stay at home to capitalise on turnovers plus his elite experience

Thoughts??

Don’t give this lad too much time to think about things as he’s an instinctual marvel. Love his two way running
