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

[Jack Bradley]

He cant even get a look in with our practice games - his goose is cooked

Higgins is everything we want Harps to be.

Not sure about this. He was at the Family Day today and stated that he is confident of working his way back into the team.

Well I doubt he was going to say, "Na, mate. I'm up s**t creek, to be honest with ya".

True, but if his goose was cooked, you would be able to read that from talking to him. He seemed genuinely confident.

thats what I like to hear. I'm hoping he can have a cracker season and gain another contract, we don't have a lot of players of his ilk on our list. injuries have taken their toll over the past few years and its awesome to hear he is 100% fit mentally and physically again.

Good news. He certainly looked like he was in a good place while on the jumping castle

 

[Ohhh Errol]

We need to approach the afl for a "players to come good" list we can tack onto the squad. There's some that I just don't want to let go of...

He wasn't even being considered due to his injuries. The club has made it pretty clear that they will be taking it slowly with him.

He's starting from a long way back though.

or "I'm not good enough, but I'll take the pay cheque till I get sacked..."

i bloody hope so.....he could be that little bit of flair we need.....

 

[Tas]

I hope he can find that confidence and aggression. He has nothing left in the tank, needs to put the foot to the floor and give it all he has, if he gives it 100% and doesn't make it then at least he tried. Don't get left behind thinking what could have been if I just gave it everything I had.

Harper, who featured on the wing in the first half before drifting through the middle after the main break, continued his encouraging form with 18 disposals, 11 tackles, eight clearances and a goal.

11 tackles!!!!! No doubting he's having a crack......especially how important defensive pressure is these days with the ball going the other way. If he can produce that regularly and score 1.5 goals a game, he'll be donning the blue and white soon enough.

Nice days work Harps, keep it up buddy

 

[Chazdog92]

Sounds very promising.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

It made me a little excited.

 

[kangaspurs]

I'm trying to tell myself to temper my expectations but it's not working.

Geez. Even if he doesn't kick the goals himself, if each tackle can lead to a score ...

I'm suddenly LHopeful again.

 

[Jasemon]

If he's laying tackles he's getting to where the ball is. Great signs. In addition to 1.5 goals a game and his inside 50s a lot of great signs. A player that relies on confidence more than most. Come on Kieran!! You can do it!!!!

 

[Egga]

Hopefully the game was a boost to his confidence
