Past #23: Kieran Harper - delisted by the club (29/10) - will miss '16 VAFA season, surgery on ankle

[LuvtheKangas]

Your joking will be playing suburban footy in 2016

You are = you're and no, I'm not joking.

 

[franjon]

Harper will get a chance elsewhere surely

Based on what? He may get another opportunity rookied somewhere but I doubt clubs will be racing to draft him. And for people saying the Dogs would chase him, surely you jest? What would they want him for? They have enough of his type playing senior football. He's had long enough.

Go and play with Pascoe Vale aka North OB. All he needed was the talent to find the pill. he can certainly use it.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[jclei]

Damn it Harps - you had everything we wanted in a player except the ability to get enough of the ball.

Always thought you were our best chance at a gun midfielder in the future but it hasnt worked out. All the best - hope you get another shot somewhere

 

[Quivorir]

I am sad.

Get over it.. harper is a dud. It's Majak we should be disappointed about.

 

[MaddAdam]

I still rate the running goal he kicked at the MCG against the Tiges as one of the best I have ever seen at that ground.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I tend towards NMFCA98 on this (oh god).

Harps was unfortunately, for whatever reason, slipping towards list clogger status.

So good that in the commentary, as Harps receives on the wing, Tim Watson moans involuntarily & does three little claps just within microphone distance.

 

[MaddAdam]

I wonder how much Harps wanted it.

All the talent in the world, but a significant lack of Hird in him.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Would rather Harper than McKenzie.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Rather Harper than pick 73 or 91

 

[Horizons_00]

Lol what's a Harper?

Most overatted player boasted on BF

Towards?

Been that way for some time now hence his delisting. Sure he had clear initial talent, but has had injury issues and for that or whatever other reason has gone backwards.

I'm happy if he is rookied though (doubtful), but it's not as if the club hasn't given him time and every chance in multiple roles to show something.

*s sake!

Pick 56 ain't going to be nothing on harps

 

[Heaps of fun]

****s sake!

Pick 56 ain't going to be nothing on harps

Pick 56 has played the same amount of games Harps has in the last two games.

 

[Contra Mundum]

I doubt anyone will want him.

We think about him at his best - how did he expect to survive when he was mediocre in the Magoos. No one will pick him up. Remember him dominating at a practice game in Ballarat - so sad that Atley and Harps could not break the lines together Krakoer style

 

[DarkPhoenix]

fait accompli

Just was never good enough after the injuries. Absolute shame too because he looked like the next big thing early on.

Thanks heaps for the effort and dedication Kieran. I reckon the dogs might have a crack.

 

[Deddy]

Many tears will be had today by many, myself included.

So much potential, gone.

 

[Junk yard]

Can't see anyone taking him on.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Atley = Stayed
Harper = Gone
Delaney = Gone
Mabon = Gone

Ugh.

 

[Hunters Host #3]

Thanks for your service mate.

Those first two seasons were filled with good moments. Played some really good football, offensive flair and always offered plenty defensively, often out-doing some more seasoned performers in the tackling and pressure stakes.

The troublesome ankle surgeries affected 'the step'. The mental hurdles were always an issue from 2013 onwards, more than what was reported on here.

All the best for the future Kieran.

 

[Nutjob]

Garner, turner, thomas, nahas, anderson all miles ahead. Was never going to get a look in next season. All those players will always be ahead of him.
