congrats to him.

He's playing because he's been close (when fit).

With Elliot not playing, we need the defensive pressure & speed Elliot brings.
If Reef hadn't hurt himself, suspect he would have played.

But since he is maybe touch and go, the club probably thinks "why not!"

Also (and just as important):
He's OOC this year and the club needs to find out how he looks at the level (given he is fit!).

Same as they did with Chugg last year (gave him 2 games against lower oppositions to see how he went).
If he gets cut this year and didn't get a game....would be shattering for him.

Doesn't matter if he shows glimpses of being at the level, its exactly this sort of thing that has changed our culture.

They rate him. Its why he would have debuted last year if he didn't get covid.
They would want to see what he can do of course as well. And its the perfect time for him to debut with elliott out.

Wonder if he has siblings. Do they have alliterative names also? If not, are they jealous?

Can’t believe his parents didn’t call him Harry.

Always good to see a debutant! But as someone doesn’t watch much VFL anymore, what sort of lad am I looking at here?

Doesn't do much in the VFL, but what he does creates goals. Really good front and centre crumber - good positioning, clean hands and the power to create space when he gets it.

Stocky but powerful with excellent pace, and questionable kicking. I would compare him to Swanny in terms of athleticism, but he is more a half-forward than midfielder at this stage so games aren’t particularly similar.

Of course they rate him!!
Anyone who has watched vfl or seen him train would understand the attributes he brings.
Vfl form (IMO) is extremely subjective. It’s about roles.

You don’t get to be emergency like he has been over the past 12 months without fulfilling the role asked.

I think he will make people take notice.

Agree.
If it wasn't for his hammy issues and covid, he would have debuted and played some decent number of games. People may say.. he doesn't do a lot -- But what he does do makes you see the AFL qualities he has. Just screams AFL
His stoppage work. His ability to manufacture goals from them. His exposiveness and pace. He'll be better with better delivery into the forward line.
 
Really happy for Harvey to get a gig. I don't want to see him start as the sub though. Should always start debutants on the ground. He'll bring pressure for the forward line and maybe a run on the wing at some point. Good luck Harvey!

Don't think these coaches will debut kids as the sub. So I think he starts.
