Player Watch #34 Harry Armstrong- 8 weeks

[SleepingGiant]

There was nothing wrong with Armstrong kicking it was Faull

 

[Groupie_]

Don’t worry
So did Richo

Just give them 15 shots a game and we will be fine

richos only started after he smashed his knee in syndey

 

[Black Saab]

Height is misconceiving.
Jack R was taller than Nick R

3 flags worth of height taller I believe

 

[Coach_Required]

There was nothing wrong with Armstrong kicking it was Faull

Faull & Sims.

Armstrong is fine

not true he had to get lloyd to help him him with his goalkicking

 

[THE_GUN]

Bring Lloyd in for 3-4 months as kicking coach in the off season

He had a very high ball drop but as was pointed out earlier he was dead eye dick last year so I think he'll be fine.

Kicked 5 straight in the Champs final if I remember correctly. Not sodas either.

 

[Grin]

Don’t worry
So did Richo

Not before he did his knee
People forget that

 

[bedford]

He had a very high ball drop but as was pointed out earlier he was dead eye dick also year so I think he'll be fine.

Kicked 5 straight in the Champs final if I remember correctly. Not sodas either.

Saw him kick 12 straight in juniors

 

[energyquant]

I do have a little concern with Harry's set shots - in the last few games, I noticed that he seems to consistently kick the ball at a lower trajectory and as a result, missing. I hope this is just an anomaly and not a bad habit that has set in. Kicking through the ball and giving it more height, gives you more accuracy when kicking for goal.

Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up because its stuck with me since the end of the last season

To paraphrase JayZ - we've got 99 problems, but Harry Armstrong's goal kicking technique ain't one......

yeah but hes your nephew

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Got a bit of the Fraser Gehrig's about him, does young H.

 

[TJTIGER]

Got a bit of the Fraser Gehrig's about him, does young H.

Or perhaps a Mathew Pavlich?

 

[tiger_tough]

Still has a very high ball drop by the looks of it. Hopefully he has sorted out the yips he had.

H-Train?

 

[TigermanM2]

Height is misconceiving.
Jack R was taller than Nick R

Jack's height was always overstated. They always had him a few cm taller than he actually was.

Nick was 193cm (6" 4') and Jack was about the same.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

There was nothing wrong with Armstrong kicking it was Faull

yeah if faull had converted his relatively easy shots he'd be being talked about as the next big forward.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

yeah harry in his limited games kicked 6.6 last year in the afl, jonty was 9.18

 

[wegetpumped]

Harry faul fawcett, these guys will be fine. In the first season, you can see they were trying hard running a hundred mile and hour, so on, and when it came to kicking for a goal, they were knackered. Once they get into a rhythm, they will be fine. Throw Simms into that. As the others improve, so will they.

 

[captain blood 17]

Jonty is our next Benny Gale and Harry (ironically given the number) is our next Jeff Hogg.

 

[fargothegreat]

Can we fit Lynch, Faull and Armstrong in together? Who would ruck?

 

[prodigy]

I don't know what has happened to his set shot confidence. He was a dead eye in juniors but that seems to be gone now since he came to the AFL.
I wonder if he gets to practice it as much in a high performance environment as I imagine they're pretty strict on over training or whatever.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Ripping game in the air for big Harry

Clunking those marks, in tough conditions and undersized was good to see

High end talent for sure

 

[Bojangles17]

Did some great work poor kicking fkd it , shot for goal was like grandpa at Aus kick and he was off balance when passed late to lalor that was never on , right kick was top of square or in front make it hot

 

[Daka]

I will be the first to admit, I was super excited that he fell to our pick.
but think he has been disappointing with what he has showed. really struggles to get into the game.

Do you persist at AFL with him for a couple more games or would VFL be good for him right now?
