DANIEL Harris has already been a winner this season with the birth of son Sam last week.

And the North Melbourne midfielder can't wait to show off his new acquisition at Arden St.

"I've had plenty of advice from the other fathers," Harris said.

"You can't really do much in the first six weeks, but then they start recognising who you are. Once that happens you'll just love it and I can't wait to take him down to the club.

"I was there for the birth and my wife, Adele, did a fantastic job. It's an amazing feeling and I'm rapt they're both healthy."

Harris has not missed a session throughout pre-season. He has adapted well to juggling training with changing nappies.

He said the whole group was looking fit.

"There are a lot of young blokes coming through who'll play straight away," Harris said.

"Robbie Tarrant and Levi Greenwood have impressed and Ben Ross is in his second year now and he's going well. And all the old warhorses are moving well. Thommo's (Nathan Thompson) back and training strongly.

"I'm no longer one of the young guys at the club. This is my second year in the leadership group and my eighth season so hopefully we'll step it up a bit.

"I've been lucky enough to train every session and where we'll improve is the core guys coming through."

Good stuff Harro. Lets now see you rip that midfield into 2 pieces.

SweetLeftFoot · 27 Jan 2008, 01:13

Good one Danno.

NICK_ROOBOY83 · 27 Jan 2008, 01:59

Congratulations Harro

Thats one more roo on the books.

The big ROObowski · 27 Jan 2008, 02:33

Is it to early to form a bandwagon for Sam?

Mailman · 27 Jan 2008, 07:27

i always remember at the family day at the Exhibition Buildings in Carlton (2005) when we took my then 2 week old son and asked Daniel to hold him for a photo. Harro was in complete shock. He didnt know what to do or how to hold him...and was totally baffled that we would even want him to hold our boy in the first place.

My wife thought it was very cute.

Manbearpig · 27 Jan 2008, 07:32

Certainly was no mailman or postman in the Harris household. Little Sam looks amazingly like his Dad already.

rooboy_88 · 27 Jan 2008, 09:18

congrats to harro on the birth of little sam.

his reputation is building by the year is harro and would expect him to get the first use of the ball on many occassions this season.

Congrats on the baby Harris

Is it just me or does Harris look about 16 - 17 years old in that picture ?
