Roast Harry O

[domin8tors]

Would have a bit of currency you would think, from past form. Pick 15-25.

time to let him go, but I'd think a 2nd rounder. late 20s early 30's. my only concern is that with all the retired players we actually have a very inexperienced squad.

 

[domin8tors]

Would be happy to trade him if a reasonable offer was there.

Would North have an interest? They have a lot of inside types, but Harvey and Wells aside, not much on the outside. They're in the window, so topping up might be on their agenda.

nice point. and they have a ton of inside players. we could look at perhaps a greenwood or someone like that.

 

[MAGPIE2013]

as much as i would like him to be traded, we gotta remember this team is loosing experienced heads by the minute. As of now we have lot a crap ton of experience and leadership and that is not good for our onfield performance in the later part of the season.

My preference would be for H to stay but if he were to be traded I think a club like Sydney could get him back to his best.

 

[MeisterBot]

Lol @ suggesting we trade Harry for Robinson because H lacks football IQ, is a terrible kick and has culture issues. Bringing in Robinson just makes things worse.

IMO he is not a natural midfielder and this idea of making him the loose player, or on the wing as an offensive force has made him incredibly unaccountable. He is quick, a very hard runner and quite strong body to body. If we are not putting him back at half back doing what he did in 09-10, then I'd put him on outside runners and tag them out of games. Like what Clarke did with Stanton in 2012's ANZAC game. He can still break the lines, but more than anything, he needs to be accountable and beat his man.

This idea of utilising Heretier as our first rebound option or our primary line breaker needs to be turfed. I would be inclined to give Seedsman and Broomhead more time as outside runners to be our line breakers.

Best hope of getting value is a player swap for another player that also may need a change of scenery...suggestions?

 

[Cata_Pendles]

Would love him to stay if it was this Harry:

He used to play with real flash and dare.. seems to be a shadow of himself nowadays

I havent' liked Harry for a while now but I actually thought he did ok against Hawthorn funnily enough.

Was the only player giving our designated kicker an option out of defence.

 

[nahnah]

Use to love him but he has been awful for 2 seasons now, 2015 is either make or break in terms of staying on our list or trading him imo

No, that's this guy you're thinking of

personally I big if scanerio but last night Derek Henie believes the Moore may drop mid teen draft pick. if so we can get him with a 2nd rnd draft pick. I would actually then package Harry up with pick 8 and maybe another player to perhaps GWS or Dogs and try get a top #5 pick and use on a gun mid.

 

[rustyg70]

If H is to playing with us next year, which I think he will, I hope that he is made to earn his spot and not be guaranteed a game each week based on past performances.
He seemed to really drop off when Maxwell went down with his injury and eventually retired.
He looked lost out there.
That is when he should have been the one to put his hand up and say "I'll lead the back line now that Maxy has gone".
He has to be the most frustrating player on our list.
Great some weeks and absolutely crap the others.
I hardly noticed him in the last game until he Farked up in their goal square.

 

[cleomenes]

I would not even think of moving him on. He has not looked good this year, because in a weaker side, he has been the only player to instinctively play on and run the ball. Oppositions are ready for him. Shaw and Maxwell used to do the same, particularly Shaw, and now Lumumba has no support in this role. The answer is to get more players doing the same, with more confidence that their team mates are moving in support, not to cut away the only one doing it. There is little confidence in disposal at the moment, either in providing or receiving. This is at the heart of our static play, not a single player.

 

[loki04]

He needs to find balance in his runs some times the first option is the correct one. H too often tries too much.

Harry was great in 2013.

He was OK but not great.
