He went on a rampage for a while in the third quarter - It really set us up quite a bit.

He has really come on this year, and is a big reason why we're having the season we're having thus far.

Nah - If you watch him again, he took like three or four marks in a 5 minute stretch the third, and it just looked like he was everywhere for a while.
This guy has just come on in leaps and bounds. Like last season, I thought he was pretty good, but not THIS good.
He has been sensational this year.....has in the past been susceptable to brain fades, however, he seems to have rectified this area of his game. He is good overhead, sure on his feet, and just seems to do the right thing every time, I see a lot of Clement in him, and like Clement, he can take talls or smalls.
A major reason for our great season so far has been Harry O.....

Hits the ball and the man hard i like him hopefully becomes a backline enforcer kind of like archer for North (not saying he is as good as Archer just similar way of playing)

Brain fades? Really?
Not disputing you but I've long held an opinion of him that he is very reliable, has good hands, breaks tackles (if they are even laid, great shimmy) and doesn't waste disposal. He always (to me at least) seems to put it to our advantage.
He is built like a Panzer and getting better every game. Potential to be a power HB/HBF. Keep working on the kicking and that will be the polish.
This year yes i would agree with you.
Last year however was a different story. He did have quite a few brain fades. The best example of this was the Anzac day game. He just showed inexperience, was unsure of his disposal, and unsure of his decision making.
All of that seems however to have disappeared this season.
My old man said to me at the G yesterday, watch how this bloke puts the ball out infront of his target everytime he kicks it, so I took a little notice and realised he does. Gives his target every chance of winning the footy. A good skill.
He is now in our best 22, thats 4 very good games in a row.

Harry will become the little rock of gibraltar of our backline.With harry,clement,the shaw bros,maxwell, and presti will be a very soplid backline.

Did anyone see Fevola have a go at Harry in the goal square in last quarter it was a disgrace. Fevola seemed to be giving it to the Cheer Squad as well would be interested to hear from anyone else who saw it.
