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.

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.
 
Doesn’t make mistakes.
 
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.

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

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
 
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.

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

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.
