over Harry?

Mmm, thought not

Houston is the one he should be in for in the side

Still can’t fathom Redman and Blakey over him in the squad

 

[shintemaster]

Thanks for the tip : stern look

On SM-S901E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah. You should be thanking me for not giving you them this year.

Last night was not a good night for all the “Everybody in the AFL is against North Melbourne” conspiracy theorists amongst us. Reading back through some of the comments in this thread is hilarious. I’m sure it’s only a short- lived setback, though. It’ll be back in full flow by R1.

It is always good to be wary of gifts from the enemy.

I expect it won't take long for them to right this set back. probably the week before the grand final when our assistance is declined.

 

[Petrie4PM]

Where can i watch the interview from the night with him?

 

[3051]

Congratulations Harry! One of the all-time great debut seasons - which was needed as this year's cohort had some real strong contenders. Looking forward to what's next for this young champ.

Sinclair was the highest rated defender in the league this year. He's an absolute gun and easily the best rebounding defender going around atm

nah, just stats, damned stats and lies, go with the vibe

 

[Horizons_00]

Superstar

 

[Farthers]

Could be an interesting year for RS next year for us. Wardlaw and Brayden George as well as potentially Sanders*, pick 2 and pick 3*.

 

[muttley45]

" Wardlaw will win it next year ", you just gotta love Harry

 

[KangaRooster]

How about the job this kid's parents have done raising him, just exceptional.

His old man is a footy nut and Harry has admitted a few times he's always rated Wardlaw higher than Harry which cracks me up.

To read into things a bit, they seem like a family that've said "don't worry about North being at the bottom at the moment, that's why they've got you, you give 110% and you're going to be that good that you and George will drag them up the ladder yourselves", and have all bought into the club entirely.

He's comparable globally regarding professionalism at his age for an athlete imo - he just eats, breathes and sleeps footy and recovery - and while that doesn't happen without his personal commitment, its highly attributable to his upbringing.. well done to the Sheezels clan, because boy did we need it.

 

[Twinkletoes]

The Sheez is on SEN with Dwayne in a minute giantroo.

Geez he’s an impressive young bloke.

At 18, just out of school and keen to live life to it’s fullest before moving into the uni years, I would’ve interviewed like Spiccoli.

 

[Farthers]

He really has a good head on his shoulders and a good footy brain. Looking forward to see how Sheezel goes from here. He sounds very driven too. I feel Harry and Wardlaw will lead the charge out of the bottom of the ladder.

 

[The acurate one]

I remember nn would carry on about our end of year ladder position every bloody year for bloody years.
Said we couldn't land decent talent finishing ninth every bloody year.
Joke is on him now.
Sheezel was pick 38 from memory


We've had a bloody good week aye.

It's like people questioning why Stewart makes it every year.

He's a flog but he's also elite in basically every relevant defensive metric.

Mmm, thought not

Yeah I would tbf. And that's not a knock on Harry at all. Sinclair's disposal is ridiculous

Prob a hot take but Stewart is the best defender of the last 10 years imo
