Gives a lot of JHF vibes

Draper compo?

Wont happen he's staying at Essendon on a 5 or 6 year deal

Isn't draper to crows basically a done deal?

 

[The Unforgiven]

He ain't going to Geelong, there's no way for him to get there.

Agreed. There is no way Geelong could facilitate a trade. The draft capital is not there. Geelong will focus on other players, as the club does, but West Coast will rightly demand a king's ransom which Geelong would be both unwilling and unable to pay. If he leaves he will be at the 'Dons.

JHF seemingly had blow ups with his teammates, Harley doesn't do that.

In fact, he's one of the main ones during breaks going around encouraging the other players.

 

[random260]

15 possesion 6 clearances 7 tackles.

He's going to rip the derby open reckon he has a chance to get Ross G medal

Tullamarine is just 90 mins from Tongala.

He’s just biding time until gets home.

He’s on a Perth semi permanent vacation atm. Waiting to be released from his legal binding contract.

His mind is thinking of home…as most kids do.

His home is where Yaz is guess what she's currently in Perth.

Even when Harley is away she stays in Perth.

Just read for Jay Clark saying 'all the constant media attention and back page attention Harley gets'..Hes literally been on the back page of the paper like twice since Simmo walked last year and one of those back pages was that photo with Sam Mitchell. Reading the paper these days you wouldn't even know he existed besides the dot point from a rundown of the weekly Eagles training session.

Any media attention in the last few months has been coming straight out of Victoria.

Well if that's the case then prepare for Essendon to give West Coast their first round, future first and Melbourne's first. James Hird literally said tonight on Tom Morris's show that it's too much to give up for him and would rather rebuild the club through the draft instead.

Can almost guarantee West Coast would trade him if they don't get an extension by the end of this season.

The obsession over the guy is getting a little weird at this point

 

[craffles]

I loved the bird, the kid has copped so much flak since he was drafted so give it back a bit hey.

Kid is going t be a superstar. He may take more seasons than Judd... But holy sh!t... when he unleashes his bag of tricks on us all.

 

[RCAB]

If he hasn't signed a contract extension within a few months, surely he's going to go.

 

[DogDaySonny]

The media and footy fandom are doing everything they can to make him hate football and hate Perth. I, for one, am sorry to see him in a shark-like feeding frenzy like this, but I look forward to him finding shelter from the storm out at the new Kennedy Community Centre facilities in Dingly.

Come on in, Harley. If Ginni can find protection at Hawthorn from the hyenas, you can as well.

 

[Cleric]

He just looks like he doesn't care. He is playing suburban football in the AFL.

I think he has checked out and knows he is going.

 

[Cam Payne]

Good luck to whichever club get him. If you happen to have a no dickheads policy you might want to think about not mentioning it for a the next 10 or so years.

 

[boncer34]

Couldn't look less interested in the Derby if he tried.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Couldn't look less interested in the Derby if he tried.

Was about to say the same thing..
just sorta stops after an ineffective tackle.. lack of 2nd and 3rd effort is a bit poor

 

[Vankri]

3 effective disposals at HT, and I think two weeks ago it was 2 effective disposals at HT. I know there is a fitness aspect as he’s been out of shape and injured (?) in the pre season but that’s not about running out of legs so there’s something else going on. I get that not every kid comes out of the blocks like N Daicos or Sheezel but something not right if that’s what he produces playing as an inside mid.

 

[T2B_]

He showed last year he can compete with seasoned men, so its a bit odd unless he's really struggling for fitness that much, in which case he shouldn't be playing.

 

[La Vache]

He’s probably just out of form but isn’t working through it at the moment. Should be getting to as many contests as possible but is instead engaging off the ball constantly. Loves the niggle and that’s fine but it must be exhausting for him

 

[MisterMarcus]

Team-mates getting around him and showing him tons of love after that hanger and goal....
