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

[Chadwiko]

Good game from Sheez. Not great. But good.

33 touches (18k/15hb) at 88% DE, equal 1st for score involvements, =2nd for I50s, led all NMFC players for tackles, and was (remarkably) 2nd for intercept possessions.

He just has an innate ability to know where he has to position himself to get the footy, whether it's from a team-mate, or to intercept it from the opposition.

While his disposal wasn't elite tonight, he made up for it with some bloody fantastic defensive efforts.

I had him in our top 3 tonight.

 

[koshari]

Footwork fallen off a bit and lost his feet a couple of times which is generally his bread and butter, still easily one of the best users we have even on his lesser gamrs

 

[amaz199]

His clearances were very vanilla.

Everything else was acceptable standard.

 

[SimpinForSimpkin]

What was noticeable at the ground was his intent. Seems to have found the extra metre of pace. Just needs to stop doing the Simpkin hack kicks forward

 

[Passmore]

Thought he was good

Thought he was real solid tonight. Pretty clean and he puts the hard work in defensively. Easily in our best and I'll take that every week.

 

[DuckYeah]

Lol I thought he was very average again. The last kick from that clearance summed up his game in my opinion.

Dump kicks, hospital kicks, he’s gotta cut that shit out

Excuse me. They're called Ziebells

He went at 88% and 7 score involvements not sure what game you were watching

He was marginally better than last week.. 7 score involved from how many possessions? Its not good enough it could be better. Oh, **** your stat sheet. You dont get a turnover stat when its kicked 45m in the air to a contest

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

I think he has worked so hard on improving his contested game that his offensive side has now dropped off. His hands are not as clean as he was year 1. One thing is for sure. He attracts the ball like no north player I have ever seen. He will get better and better because he is driven like no other

 

[Chadwiko]

Of course not. Why would you?

What an odd comment.

 

[zoomba23]

Significantly better game than last week from where I was sitting. Instead of shitty 1m handball receives, he was busting a gut to make himself an option in d50. Yeah I'd prefer him to get it up the ground, but if others aren't showing his workrate, there's not much he can do but grit his teeth and get down there

 

[Sphynx]

Decent.

DE% flattered him I thought.

He still has 4-5 WTF moments given his footy IQ.

Case in point on the wing in the 3rd. He waited an eternity and slowed the play up, assessed everywhere, got called to play on, hooked a kick over the man on the mark, he had to roost it vertically around his body, to a two on one against us that resulted in a turnover. From a damaging position when he marked it. That is just plain shit, let alone for him.

The clearance in the last. He had plenty of time and hooked it to absolutely nobody straight out of bounds on the wing for a turnover.

He had a clean F50 entry in the 3rd, he kicked short and straight to a two on 1 intercept.

His entry (again in the 3rd), straight after Trembaths contested mark. Was rubbish medium chip, into the boundary line, with Trembath 35m, after just clunking one.

There were 3-4 others.

No idea how he got that DE% rating, I think the advanced stats will be a fair bit harsher again for him.

He looks so much better when he moves the ball faster on instinct. He thinks he's doing the right thing trying to assess and take the right option, to move it the right way. He's arguably our biggest turnover merchant when he tries this.

 

[DocSholl]

Having someone so good so young has warped brains

Harry "Just Kick the Bloody Thing" Sheezel
Harry "Helicopter" Sheezel
Harry "I'm here out the back of the stoppage, handball it to me so I can throw it on my boot" Sheezel

He's really not being used well in his current position, should play him as a half forward linkup instead of Zurhaar.

Not a bad shout either.

 

[koshari]

Thought he was good

He is always good.

I found his footwork not as good yesterday, went to ground a couple of times where generally I reckon his best attribute is staying in the contest.

 

[Sphynx]

The advanced stats are out.

As I suspected: -1.1 ball use rating.

Duursma was the best on the ground with +10

Wardlaw second with +7.4 which is why he got in their votes given the amount of contested ball and clearance he also won.

Hes tracking around Jagga Smith and Tim Taranto

Transition game excellent. Stoppage game still very much a work in progress.
