AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - God-tier Hands

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 22, Duckworth

 

[jmoo wan]

26 disposals.

There should be a system that properly weights what a forward does based on degree of difficulty.

5 contested marks forward is probably worth 50 possessions at half back.

And I'm only exaggerating slightly.

100% get where you are coming from and agree. i’d probably also add that Miles Bergman is a stupid name.

FTFY

 

[tha Freak]

Does a lot of things that go un-noticed, like the nice block to give Walla the mark and goal, And leading away from contests to open up marking opportunities for others. A very smart, unselfish footballer.
Another pre-season, + 10 kg of muscle, lookout!!

As I said a few weeks back, this kid is going to have supporters flocking to games just to watch him play !
He will also attract so many new young supporters to the club who will be putting #23 on their backs.
Plays with a smile on his face and looks like he's just having a kick in the backyard with his mates, he's going to be a STAR !!

 

[VelvetSledge]

oh VS, Ive seen this stat posted a few times already man - you’re a couple of steps behind... much like Harrison Jones’ direct opponent when he’s on a lead!

yeah!!

Piss. This is what happens when I have to settle for the replay

 

[naraku]

I can't believe he has only played a handful of games. Goes about it like he has already got 50+ under his belt and oh yes, those big marks...!

 

[citizen-erased]

anybody else a little giddy that this kid is like Lloyd & Hird rolled into one

i may be going off early, but **** it. i got ragged on for saying i saw plenty of Cousins' game in Parish....and here we are

 

[maskmcgee]

His only problem is every single time someone mentions how accurate he's been since his first game he misses. Every single time. Go back and watch, every behind since his first goal, the commentator has been talking about how accurate he is, and never mention it on every goal.

Also took 6 contested marks, not 5, remember.

Did you get ragged on for that? I remember it being a somewhat common observation on this board early on. I said it myself and didn’t receive anything snippy.

The way he ran around that pack reminded me of Cousins.

 

[JayJ20]

Not only is he a good mark and a good kick, but his work rate is very impressive. If he doesn't take the mark, he is at ground level trying to win his own ball. 10 contested possessions despite having 14 disposals.

Dodoro smashed this pick.

[Hak94]

His technique for kicking at goal looks no-frills and simple, it's damn impressive. At such a young age, hard to nail something like that as a forward. Hopefully, it sticks and he can keep improving other areas of his game.

Just came through

The club socials meanwhile are going the gif string..

 

[Donakebab]

Well deserved! I get more excited by Harry's future with every passing week.

 

[Megabattimus]

Well deserved! Should poll a few votes in the Rising Star if he can keep this up for the rest of the season.

Funny that lloyd said he needs to work on his goal kicking

 

[NAB777]

Covered 15.9km too, most of any player.

Crazy

You can't teach that. He must have a seriously solid engine.

 

[Ati Tude]

You can't teach that. He must have a seriously solid engine.

He must have spent last year whilst not being able to play, just running and practicing goal kicking. Seems to have paid off.

 

[eth-dog]

Well deserved! Now let's hope we can get Perkins relatively soon as well

 

[Pweter]

Surely he studied Nick Reiwoldt growing up as no key forward has covered this much ground since Nick.

We have to find that sweet spot between gaining strength and maintaining his engine, get him too heavy and the endurance suffers.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Well deserved. Well done, Harry! Can’t wait to watch him for the next 12-15 years.
