Player Watch #3: Harry Sheezel - 23 AFL RS/NM SBM, AFLPA BYP, '24 AA squad, '24 AFLCA BYP, '25 joint SBM winner, '26 NMFC VC

He might actually be the smartest player in the competition. Pound for pound I think he has a slight ways to go to beat Cripps or Bontempelli for impact on games, but he is carrying around a very very big beautiful brain.

Get out me car

He's the thinking person's footballer.

Was he being booed? They're starting to notice...

Soon enough they won’t know who to boo , with warlord , Kerch n co will be running rampant

He looks at the ball, decides if l hit it at this angle it'll bounce straight back towards me.

Einstein of the AFL

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Thing is he practices bouncing the ball like that. He’s basically created a new footy skill and perfected it at age 19. I’m sure other people have done it before (Powelly comes to mind actually) but this is becoming something he uses regularly.

Those little plays in isolation look like flukes but they happen to frequently to be outliers.

Like peter daicos goals in the past you could be forgiven for thinking were flukes.

 

[justroyal]

Being overly critical now, I know. But the last few or maybe more games, I’ve seen him do a jy type of of turn over where he has slowed the movement down but laced it out directly to the opp player.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re all nice kicks, just oddly directly to the opp player

Reckon we might have to come up with a new challenge for him, like simultaneously solving a rubiks cube whilst doing so?

He is wasted bamboozling blokes like cripps!

While riding a unicycle and performing as a one man band equipped with guitar, harmonica and drum.
He’d bloody do it too

Cant believe im saying this, but he might end up better than Carey.

 

[Billy Not Really]

If he's not on the starting 18 for AA we can confirm All-Australian's don't matter anymore and are null and void. Put it in the bin, its a worthless accomplishment.

Because he is the best player in the comp.

He's pretty good.


But it's simply not possible.

Because not even GAJ is better than Carey imo.

It's not possible for a midfielder to be as good as Carey and Ablett Snr in my opinion.

The closest time I have ever considered it might've been possible was West Coast Judd, but he didn't sustain it for his career, despite winning a Brownlow at Carlton.

You can't even use the age card.

Because what Carey was doing at 20 was probably even more impressive than what Sheez is doing as a 19 year old mid given the size and physicality of that era of key defenders.

Gaz Snr is probably the most talented footballer ever, if he didn't have a screw loose and had the competitiveness and team drive that Duck had, he could have been the undisputed #1.

 

[Supa_Nova]

Shouldve been AA squad last year. I had him in ahead of quaynor in particular

Hi,

If anyone was at the game, were they booing him? He has never been booed before and I presume it is just a "carlton fans are the worst people" type thing. Juts seems weird to me to boo him of all people.

 

[Psicosis]

Just so hilarious that Buckley had Mich Owens ahead of Harry in his RS votes. Should have his position on the panel revoked.

Geez I actually forgot Owens was a player. Haven’t seen or heard his name anywhere this year

 

[SpiderBurton22]

He's having a great year, avering 11.8 touches a game with a kicking efficiency of 53%

 

[DuckYeah]

That is ridiculous. This guy, wow wee

 

[Billy Not Really]

Better than Bont?

I'd say so yeah, considering he's 19 and in a bottom side and playing no longer in the backline he's slotted in seamlessly and still pulls crazy numbers, even on a down week.
