As good a first season as I've seen in a while for a dees player. Handles the pace of AFL well, knows how to find the middle of the goals (how refreshing) and skills are bloody good.
I'm stoked that our last group of coaches won't get to ruin his development.
Keen to see what role he takes long term with the new coach, I thought he did well on the wing but will need a good preseason to keep building the tank.

Just as well Taylor absolutely nailed the Langford and Lindsay picks.... jury is still out on the Windsor/Tholstrup combo.

Lindsay ain't a nailed pick yet. We've given up two top 10 picks and some others for him.
That's not to say he's a failure at all yet. But he'd need to be challenging for best and fairests during his career

I think the long term goal will still be to have him play in the centre square. I never expected him to be so clean and damaging as a winger though, so if the new coach wants to keep him there for the time being, I'm all for it.
He's still got so much he can add to his game, so hopefully he can have an uninterrupted preseason. His overhead marking and forward craft are things he's shown glimpses of at senior level that I'd like the new coach to try and take advantage of.

Think it was only this year's first and a bunch of junk picks from last year.

Lindsay will be our captain one day. Mark my words.

True think I included the pick from last year which I guess we never owned.
Every young player starts fresh in my mind next year except maybe Langford. He's gonna be good under anyone

I want to see what Windsor can do under a different coach. But i was all in on Curtain. ATM this looks like a poor draft from JT. Obviously can't nail every selection or every draft, although the Cats seem to go ok lol. But we could have had Curtain, Morris, Langford and Murphy Reid just from the last 2 drafts. That could have fast tracked a rebuild greatly. And those other 3 guys were there. I'm still dirty on the non Curtain pick. I honestly thought we were gonna pick him too. I do think Windsor has something. So obviously hoping he can be a jet. Same with Lindsay. Looks like a future leader, but it's hard seeing Murphy Reid do what he does knowing we were supposedly looking at him. Looked very polished at junior level as well, so not surprised it has transferred to senior footy. Can't believe he went pick 17.

Good highlights. They really show how even the smaller things he does have impact

Already night and day from his debut, looks a 100 game player already and that marking above his head around the ground is chefs kiss
Imagine not rating him

One thing people forget and I rate highly is that he can actually stay injury free and on the park. Look at Richmond with blokes like Smilie, Lalor or Hotton not playing large chunks of the season or Tauru injured half the year. Jagga Smith at Carlton. Even our own Windsor, Tholstrup and Lindsay had decent chunks on the sidelines
A lot of first year players can struggle staying healthy with the rigours but it looks as if Harvey’s body held up well all season.

Not only that but maintaining form. First and 2nd year players often drop off dramatically in form. Kid looks a Superstar in the making.
I dont think there's anything wrong in questioning our drafting last few years. I've definitely heaped praise on JT over the years, but with some of our selections and non selections, you have to start to question whether JT has done a great job. With our inability to attract talent through trade, drafting becomes even more important.

You can be as critical as you like. Personally, think it's a bit lazy to just look at who we picked and who the current best player available was even if they are 20 picks later like Logan Morris. Just complete hindsight at that point.
Also conveniently ignoring some of the later picks he's gotten right. McVee and Turner have both been ticks. Wouldn't write off Windsor or Lindsay yet, and this is coming from someone who was keen on Curtin and Reid at the time.
Taylor isn't the best recruiter in the comp but he's also not the worst, and I've seen much much worse recruiting at the Dees over the years than his recent picks. I wouldn't be moving him on. If anything I'd be trying to get more support around him. Hire some more talent scouts to work under him.

I agree with this completely. He's not a top 4 recruiter but he's not a bad one either. Probably missed more than hit the last couple years

Yeah if we can poach like the Dogs, Freo or Hawks recruiter then piss him off tomorrow. Otherwise just give him more support.
