Greg Harding

When he first started playing for the Dockers i thought that he had a good future ahead of him. He always seemed poised with a good football brain. In some ways he reminded me of a young Guy Mckenna. Was it injuries that ended his career or was he just not good enough. Once he was at the Eagles he didnt do anything. Was he any good at the dockers in your opinion?

He was an OK back pocket, but probably not tough enough.

And the only place McDougall is going to kick 5 is the WAFL.

You are getting confused with Graeme Polak.

I thought he was a great player, like mentioned had a great football brain and what seemed like silky skills.
Perhaps a confidence player, and was never able to regain that confidence at the eagles.
Whatever the reason he was certainly a better player than he will be remebered for.

As I remember, he looked like an awesome prospect across half-back until Stewie Loewe broke his collarbone at Waverly. It ended his season and he was never really the same player once he came back the next year.

An honest try hard type.

Needed a few stars around him and would have played an adequate support role.

I'd like to see that! seriously though there's every chance he might next year seeing as he'll struggle to get into the WCE best 22.

run along yakuza. I know school holidays have started, so go play in the sun.

That's pretty hard to do, Polak has actually played good games at AFL level.

 

[johnnystankoski]

was a great stopper in his day, looked to be always carrying an injury though

Unless you're suggesting he should be playing with his grandchildren, you should probably brush up on your research before bringing out the same tired insults.

Retirement jokes would be just as funny and a little more appropriate.

The only place he will kick 5 goals is in the WAFL.

Fine by me, he's a much better defender than forward.

Has McDud every played anywhere outside the goalsquare?

Putting aside the usual sh*tslinging for a couple of seconds (grow up losers), I always liked Harding, and was quite pleased when the Eagles nabbed him. He was a promising youngster at Freo, no star but looked like a potential 'career' player. Had his flaws but was something to work with.

Never got fit at the Eagles, even did his knee if I remember right. Was very unfairly bagged by short sighted fans, which was a shame. Still at the club today as a fitness adviser/training hand, I'm pretty sure fitness and maybe even physio are his trade these days.
