Player Watch Harvey Harrison

[Horaceg]

I don’t see HH and Ginnivan as being that similar.

To me, Richards might be vaguely a new Ginnivan although he pressures better and is faster, and HH is the new Bear in development.

Harrison has elite traits in being able to use his hands to put others in a better position or to advantage, Ginni is more about Ginni. Not knocking Ginni but he isn’t HH, HH going to get much better and could see him playing that inside mid role in time.

I’ve been wrong plenty but I think we have something special here if he keeps getting and taking his opportunity

Ginni is already being abused by his own team mates

 

[Horaceg]

None of them are similar to Ginnivan who imo was unique.

He is unique, I’m not a fan of head chuckers and playing for free kicks, he did it well but he needs to evolve and I think he is doing that under Sam Mitchell currently. Seems a good fit for him at Hawthorn, didn’t see it initially but possibly a great move for him, he has a premiership would be massive if he gets one at Hawthorn after really earning it.

Its such a clear difference between a young player who is clearly destined for AFL level as compared to one who is touch and go. Even if the latter ones make it, their ceiling is rarely very high. But for guys like HH, they may have levels to go yet. Great player.

 

[barrackers]

Don’t see the Ginnivan comparison. Reminds me more of Sidebottom.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Mini Rene Kink!
With better endurance

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

The Ginnipig show in 2022 was great viewing and almost a sideshow to the game itself at times.
I know some don't like personalities in footy but for mine it was a great bit of theatre.

The problem was Ginnivan became more concerned on the sideshow than the game

 

[nahnah]

He reminds me more of Wellingham than any of our current players

Found himself in exactly the right spot to mark Wilbur’s clearing kick. Took a similar mark in Carlton’s forward line in the dying minutes too.

 

[Bianconeri]

Would a move to half back be worth it for him?

With our players coming back likely to come at the expense of half forwards would it be worth it to move him to half back to keep him in the side?

I think he’d offer more than Markov in that role.

 

[live fast pieyoung]

Think he's going to grow into a pretty solid powerful mid
I cant think of who the comparison will be, but perhaps that Petracca, Swan, Chapman style of mid thats very strong and hard to tackle

 

[Bogsey]

Don't understand the Ginni comparison. HH plays the game a completely different way.
HH still needs to develop a bit. I think he'll end up a high HF/Wing type role in the future.

I love the Ginni show too. But am very happy for it to be in another jumper as I think we've improved our chances of winning with Ginni being replaced. Plus we are allowed to call him a flog now.

 

[sr36]

I don't understand the Ginni comparison. I see a Plugger type.

 

[BillyElliott]

I loved Ginni. And Harvey has quickly become one of my favourite players this year.

..I don't see any comparisons at all between the two. Completely different players imo.

From memory was it a hurried snap across the face of goal?

Big time mark.

 

[gerryg400]

Big time mark.

The one from Wilbur was. In the Carlton game it was a centering kick from McKay

 

[JuniorB]

From memory was it a hurried snap across the face of goal?

Big time mark.

It was under plenty of pressure too, so it was doubly meritorious.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I don't understand the Ginni comparison. I see a Plugger type.

He’s quite clearly a Lardie Tulloch and I won’t hear otherwise

 

[LuckyLee]

They knew what they were doing when they allocated jumper No. 36 to HH. He really is Swanny mkII. Reads the play faster than most, great skills on both sides, natural goal-scorer and clearly loves the big stage.

He’s already Best 23 in my book and I predict he will be a core centre square mid by this time next year.

Who I will contend is one of the most underrated players we’ve ever had.

Don't disagree.

I wasn't the one comparing the 2 players. I am a Harrison fan but he goes about it very differently then Ginnivan which I pointed out.

 

[manicpie]

HH excites the shit out of me. Love a player with a bit of swagger

I wouldn’t mind knowing who the “journo” polled to get the response that Pies fans think Harrison is like Guinea Pig…

Yeah, Ginni is like a Citroen 2CV and HH is like a Lancia Stratos.
