Player Watch Harry Perryman

[jimmy35]

Harry's partner Jamie-Lee Price has quit the Giants Netball team and is joining him in Melbourne.
She had a year to go on her contract.
Big decision for her.

She loves her Harryman.

 

[Masked Magician]

Gee he was very good, especially in the first qtr

 

[BillyElliott]

She loves her Harryman.

And she's joined the Melbourne Mavericks.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, please train him in the pre season as a mid and play him in the middle from round zero next year. That sort of toughness, defensive instinct and decision making is what we need when Pendles/Sidey decline and hang up the boots. We need to start building that chemistry with Nick asap. I would have done it this year.

 

[domus]

Harry is the classic quiet achiever.

I think that’s the plan moving forward for Harry.

He is Mr Dependable.

He just does everything that is required without fanfare or ovation. I'm continually amazed at his ability to cover the ground and provide a contest when required. Very underrated.

I just relax as soon as he gets the ball or near it. You just know he's going to do something smart.

 

[ottoman]

Harry is the classic quiet achiever.

I was going to post something similar to this.
No fuss player that just gets the job done.

 

[Kirby]

Doesn’t make mistakes.

 

[Jelly Bean]

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't think he is all that clean, dependable, etc. His disposal is below average and often turns it over. That mistake in the goalsquare late that almost cost us a goal was just total lack of composure. He hasn't played mid since very early in the season, even when our mids were getting smashed.

I think he's a 5/10, but if we had a full side he'd be in last few picked in my view.

I thought he played a great game.

No world beater, but he'll be a regular top 10 finisher in our bnf.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Yeah, it will be interesting to see whether you are right on this one. I understand our BnF model rewards games played, and he doesn't miss many, so he may poll well.

Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Harsh.

Pez is rock solid.

Footy is about beating your opponent and he is unlikely to lose a 1-on-1.

One of the few players that I wouldn't complain about during the late season slump.

5/10 hahahaha

 

[Peters_Nuts]

People say he’s overpaid but I couldn’t care less.

A durable, reliable, smart defensive player who can rotate into the midfield and is a known performer in finals? Absolutely worth it.

Has plugged every hole we needed him to fill with Howe, Maynard, Moore, Frampton and Houston all missing games. We can thank him for helping us be the #1 defensive team in the comp.

If Howe is back for the prelim, I expect Pez to shine. He was so important for GWS in the 2023 prelim. Look at his 4th quarter stats:

Technically speaking he looks overpaid but with the St Blunder now paying TDK 1.8 ballpk and Nas Wanganeen Mil 2 mil plus likely radically overpaying Leek Aleer, Silvagni and Liam Ryan I can live with this. And he has not missed a match.

 

[Jelly Bean]

5/10 hahahaha

Okay, maybe a 6. You articulated your counter argument really well.

 

[JoinDate]

Hazza Pezza has been nothing bit Mr. Dependable since playing for the Pies. Gets given a task and executes without fuss or fanfare.

When some blokes get the pill, you get anxious about wtf they're gonna do with it, not Hazza Pezza, though.

Yep.

 

[jathanas]

Yep.

Tread carefully. The guy you quoted takes no prisoners.

 

[gouki88]

I didn’t feel particularly pressured to counter your call, which is probably why you prefaced it the way you did. Perryman is highly regarded by many for a reason

I think that was the plan but with McInnes going down and injuries to Frampton and Howe we haven't had many options.

If Harry is going to get consistent midfield time we need to recruit an experienced KPD. Should be one of our priorities.

 

[Doc1763]

had a terrific first season

Yep, great pick up.
