Player Watch Harvey Harrison

[sherrife]

I was referring to having young players coming through. People were saying we had no youngsters coming through.

I think it's undeniable we don't have stars coming through. But we have a number of players who can contribute in a good system. We still need an elite top up. We're far too reliant on Pendles, JDG, Sidey, Crisp, Howes, all generational talents in different ways.

 

[granniewolf]

Any chance he might get selected to replace Pendles this week?

 

[Anzacday]

Welcome back young man, go well!

Great to have Harvey back! Crazy to think the last senior game he played was exactly 22 months ago today.

 

[JuniorB]

Welcome back, HH!
We've missed you!

 

[pablo disco bar]

Welcome back kotter

Hope you pick up where you left off.

May take a few games

I like it. He's a bit like whe. I think he can be a quality role player. Not likely to get a stack of the footy, but likely to do good things when he gets it.

Super pumped to see him get another run at it. Showed great signs before his injury. Could be a great player for us over the years

I think he’ll be more than a role player, solid lock by the end of the year imho

 

[TradeDraft]

Great to see him back in the AFL Side

 

[sr36]

I think he’ll be more than a role model, solid lock by the end of the year imho

I hope so, but coparing him to WHE isn't an insult - it's a compliment.

 

[Cyclops]

So happy for HH, one of my absolute favourites.

 

[WanderingDude]

it has been so long. Pace and IQ are standouts. HH is back and has skills needed. May he get a long block of injury free games.

 

[whiskeytown]

Not expecting a great deal early… his VFL form since returning was not eye catching. But a very good 24 disposal 2 goal performance vs a superior Werribee last week… means he’s earned his recall.

Hopefully plays weekly for the rest of the year

 

[Rorzza]

Yes, HH form in the VFL has been up and down...had a purple patch at the start of the season but dropped off...the team needs some speed forward so hopefully he brings speed and pressure.

 

[Horaceg]

I’m a big fan of WHE, I’m not one his detractors, apologies if it came across that way.

 

[TW Sherrin]

good to see the young fella back.

 

[WanderingDude]

I want to watch HH. Has his pace slowed with injury? Can he adjust to AFL quickly? Has his accumulation improved? Is he still confident to be physical? With Perryman returning soon, can he push someone else out? Go HH. No pressure. Welcome back.

HH has something you can't teach - footy smarts.

HH has something you can't teach - footy smarts.

But it is difficult to turn a low possession getter into a high possession getter. (As per Knightmare). HH has a high footy IQ and potential. In contrast I think footy IQ is hurting Beau who states he does not watch games. He just doesn’t step up to the next level, but is important.

All I want for Christmas is Bobby, Beau, HH and Shoota all fit and firing and in the team

There has been many views on players picked and the use of young players. What has also been an issue is senior players not stepping up during a transition period. I will not name but they as a significant number. Also game plan changes. My wish is for the “team to click” for Christmas. And my Christmas is in May.

We're really not going that badly. We've ****ed a couple of end of game scenarios and like just about everyone else have played a couple of shit games.

We are mid table and could easily be higher. We are playing youth, even when we had few injuries. To add more youth would be to tank. We are not at that stage, that may change this year but there is no absolutes. Fly plays to be winners.

 

[footballsack35]

I'm hoping HH is able to play every single game of the season with no Hayes, Bobby or Elliot.
Was really promising before doing his knee. Lets hope he finds some form again.
I hope some of the melts on here give him some leeway due to his circumstances.
