Fine, why don't you try looking at the statistics of his opposition for example? See if there is a trend that suggests they are offered more freedom playing against us as opposed to other clubs. Like I said; if you feel that strongly about it then put some effort into proving it.
"Discussion on Pick #58 - Harry Dear"
...i don't get it guys
Jenkins will live & die this year on his defensive efforts ......chase & tackle as he did in 2014 and despite any goal amount i am confident JJ will find himself in the SANFL side
I always find it amusing when people complain about threads supposedly going off topic without contributing anything to redirect it back on track.
) about the future of the incumbent isn't altogether off topic.
He's a big lump and he's fast. That's why he gets out the back.
Good read though, and good excuse to bump his thread 
Notice how Dear Harry grows a centimetre from the beginning of the article to the end? I would hate to think how tall he is now!
HARRY Dear’s first words to the media when arriving at Adelaide were music to the ears of new coach Phil Walsh.
“I like getting the hard ball and really competing,” he said.
“I try to give it a 100 per cent crack and like to get out there and give it my all.”
Dear clearly suits Walsh’s desire to recruit super-competitive players.
The 18-year-old is a physically-imposing 197cm and 98kg and lives up to his Norm Smith Medallist dad’s advice of “owning my space’’ on the football field.
“Dad told me to be a physical presence out on the ground and own your own space,” he said.
Taken at pick 58 from Sandringham Dragons at Thursday’s national draft, Dear became available to the Crows after being overlooked by Hawthorn as a father-son selection.
Dad Paul played 123 games and kicked 80 goals for the Hawks from 1987-96 and is best remembered for winning the 1991 Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the grand final win against West Coast.
Uncle Greg Dear played 137 games for Hawthorn and 53 for Richmond from 1985-96.
Both are premiership players, highlighting the strong football pedigree Harry hails from.
When the Hawks failed to nominate Harry as a father-son selection, the Crows pounced on him, with Walsh falling in love with his want to crash packs and be a strong physical presence.
The ruckman/forward said the Hawks’ decision to overlook him had not affected his outlook and that he was “happy to get on any AFL list”.
“This is a ripper club and I’m thrilled to be here,” Dear said.
Dear kicked 18 goals in nine games for Sandringham Dragons this year and also represented Vic Metro in three games in the Under-18 national championships before having a shoulder reconstruction in August.
“The shoulder is going well, I’m now able to do strength work, so it will be fine,” he said.
Walsh said Dear won him over after watching his highlights tape.
“There’s a couple of clips on his vision where he made some collisions and I thought ‘tell me more about this player, I’ve got to know about him’,’’ Walsh said.
Asked what golden rules his dad, Hawthorn’s 1991 Norm Smith Medallist Paul Dear, had passed on to him, Harry said “be a physical presence out on the ground and own your own space”.
“I like getting the hard ball and really competing,” Dear, 18, said. “I try to give it a 100 per cent crack and like to get out there and give it my all.”
Dear, 198cm and 97kg, cut an imposing figure when unveiled by Adelaide at training today.
Taken at pick 58 from Sandringham Dragons at Thursday’s national draft, Dear became available to the Crows after being overlooked by Hawthorn as a father-son selection.
The ruckman/forward said the Hawks’ decision to sign him had not affected his outlook and that he was “happy to get on any AFL list”.
“This is a ripper club and I’m thrilled to be here,” Dear said.
