Player Watch Harry DeMattia

[memoryofmchale]

Harry's strengths are in athleticism and professionalism.

Harry's weakness is accumulation.

This is going to be his biggest barrier to success moving forwards.

Don't need tons of Touches to have a Impact

 

[Bianconeri]

I’d like him to take some kick ins in the VFL side.

Accumulation is symptom not the cause.
So what’s the cause ie. Slow, can’t read the play?

He’s not getting used by his teammates atm, isn’t taking any kick ins and is also playing as a deeper defender and not as a high half back that is free to push up the field and accumulate.

 

[rand corp]

Definitely not slow but is slight and needs more core strength

 

[Fruit]

Would be hard for an 18 year old to walk into VFL off a long lay off and rack them up. He’s going to need time to build footy fitness again.

That be Majority of Draftees in there 1st Season would need to work on

Since coming back he has not shown me anything to get Excited about him.

He has Pace but Kicking is Poor

TJ looked lot better

Delist?

 

[danielnajdek]

Delist?

Wished we'd gone for a big kid like the one from Brisbane.

Have you ever considered how hard it is to kick the ball with precision after only your second game of the year and coming off a limited pre season.

Nobody is safe after a loss mate

We must have lost, did we? Who's useless & up for delisting this week?

Get down and teach him a few things TD!

 

[Daicosian silk]

Pies should have drafted Logan Morris a KPF who is exactly the type of player we needed

 

[rand corp]

Sack our timekeeper, obviously the team went home at three-quarter time thinking the game was all over.

Spot on mate, people seem to forget he had a busted hand and that's clearly affecting his kicking

2 games after a long lay off

The kids that make it generally do not struggle at VFL level. It's still too early to tell for DeMattia but he needs to improve every match at a minimum. He looks a bit lost in 1 on 1 defending so I'd like to see him used in the midfield / half forward maybe to get him into the game. I think he's stressing too much about where his opponent is and losing track of the game

Not really a KPF at 191cm.

 

[doofdoof]

Not really a KPF at 191cm.

He doesn't look 191cm. Suspect he's grown a lot since that measurement

 

[watt price tully]

Bloody hell, give the kid a chance. The pile on is ridiculous and over the top. He’s playing in a well undermanned VFL. He missed a fair bit of competitive footy.
One step at a time.

I thought we were delisting him to open up another spot in the msd

I thought you already knew that he had to have 40 disposals and kick 5 in his first 2 games
