Just after some thoughts on Harry Miller, Will he make it?, He seems fine at VFL level. but just can't get it together when given oportunities at AFL level. With lots of youngsters coming through ie, B1 and B2, Ellis etc. How long has he got to prove he's worth?
He's got the rest of this year IMO. He may get one more year but he really has to show soemthing soon.

Is he skillfull enough or his tank big enough to go into midfield rotations? Could he go back and release Guerra to the foward line?
I just don't think he can make it if the forward pocket is he's only go.

I think we should put him in the forward pocket for a whole game and tell him to get to every marking contest in the forward 50 and chase when we lose possession. Give him a go like Melbourne did with Davey. We have nothing to lose as we aren't getting many crumbing goals anyway.

This should put his motor to the test & measure the size of his heart. Could find himself or answer questions about his upside & where he is (or isn't) going.

He's no good at VFL level, needs the AFL scene where the players around him are better.

Im not sure how many AFL games he's played i'd guess 8 - 10. I can only remember 1 good game played.
He has never had a long period of games to settle in.
Please play him at in a forward pocket.
The only problem i can see is he is not very accountable.
Thats OK if can hurt the opposition but Harry cant.
Having said that, he always looks lively around the ground but often runs over the ball or fumbles on pickup.
He is almost there. Give him some game time.
Please play him at in a forward pocket.I agree Bugsy - do not let him outside the 50 unless he's chasing an opponent.
In the first half of the Richmond game last year he played in the pocket and absolutely starred.

Doesnt have the skills to be a midfielder, even if he gets it 20 times, he can't hit targets. I agree, forward pocket is his spot and he must kick goals. Problem is we dont have a big forward target to get crumbs off. Right now, he's a B grade version of Leon Davis.

A little harsh. Leon himself is a B grade AFL player full stop

Leon Davis is a C grader at best mate.
Harry isn't that good, showed something in a game against Richmond but just don't think he has what it takes.

I'm not a fan of his, but he deserves a run of several games to give him a chance, because otherwise I'm sure Port or Adelaide would consider a middle range draft pick for him.
