The average big man takes about 4 years to mature to regular AFL best 22. No doubt make a few appearances but you wouldn't expect him to cement a spot for a while.

Good timing then. Harry might be getting a game to I guess soon.
4 years? His type should have just finished the bulk of his development by then and it will be the perfect time to unleash him as one about to enter his prime and take the comp by storm
Oh, and don't be mislead by JJ's late season injury struggles. A guy of his size with his pace and the way he continues to develop should not be underestimated. We are the richer for him by far!

Yes, but I still wonder if there was any chance we got a player that is as good as a first rounder last year at a steal at pick 51. Also, if the players are comparable then we have done well to snag Doedee and a Himmelberg for picks 17 and 51 (different years). I doubt we would have taken Elliot had we already taken Harrison last year, so it seems to have worked out very well, especially if the two brothers are similar prospects.

Yeah that's a classic. He is going to try to take Justin's position in the team too. Would be gold if somehow he can manage to take it before he learns his name.
This lad looks really professional and mature for his age
I'm really looking forward to seeing where he lines up in the SANFL team

Does anyone else have a feeling we're a massive chance to get his brother in next year's trade period?
We obviously have an interest in him (last year's bid), and he's not going to get a whole heap of opportunity for the Giants. Maybe get Elliott in his ear?

All that springs to mind is SOS sniffing around. Reid and SOS in a bidding war for him. That would be interesting
He was a regular near the end of the year wasn't he? I remember seeing him play and play well.
So why do you think we have absolutely no chance? I gave my reasoning, let's hear yours.
SOS will jump at another opportunity to add some more players to the Carlton GiantsAll that springs to mind is SOS sniffing around. Reid and SOS in a bidding war for him. That would be interesting
Let's hear it Sanders.
I guess it depends on how Tomlinson comes along, I think he was in the side more than HH at the end of last year
You have to be taking the piss
GWS matched our pick and he's had a great year at CHB in the neafl. He's tracking ahead of schedule and they love him
If you think he's on the way out you're crazy. Literally nuts

He'll play a lot of games for GWS this year IMO
They already have Tomlinson, Davis and Haynes as their three main tall defenders
Unless he overtakes one of them next year (he may well overtake Tomlinson, but I doubt it at this stage), I reckon he'll be seeking greater opportunities.
I think I remember hearing he was played 'out of position' in those games? Could be wrong though. Think it's very unlikely GWS consistently play four talls in defence in the future (Haynes plays as a 3rd tall type).Haynes is a KPD? Really
The games that HH played, Tomlinson , Davis and Haynes all played too
I reckon you just like saying stupid things to get attention
No need for the snide remarks either, mate
I do believe Wall-E now works for the Crows recruiting department, but he isn't Ogilvie.
