Tom Harley

[Heapoie]

Has Tom Harley got the safest pair of hands in the side? I'd actually vote him amongst the top few in the league! Im amazed at just how adhesive hit mitts are when under pressure. The ball seems to just "stick" to his hands as if they were covered in PVA glue!

He dropped quite a few in last years Prelim, although it was a high pressure situation.

He's right up there with Chappy, Stokes and Bartel in terms of best hands at the club.

Gamble's hands have seemed very clean so far this year as well.

He talks about that in "The Mission", just an attack of the nerves.

I'd say there's a difference between best mark and best hands.
Gaz clearly has the best hands at the club IMO...
Loving Tommy Harley at the moment though.
Always been a top mark...

Imagine Mooney or Tommahawk with the marking abilities of Harley. They'd kick 10 a game!

Also Milburn would be up there.

Agreed, super grab. Love when he floats across to cut off yet another opposition attack.

Harley very good.

I love Bartel's marking ability, especially above his head. A great overhead mark for his size...but I'm sure that has been said plenty of times.

Stokes is also pretty handy for his size.

Love watching Harley lead his man to the ball and take marks uncontested. He reads the play unbelievably well.

Yep. Hew sure does for a Port Adelaide reject!!!

He's also a real good spoiler from behind and punchs the ball down most the time with out chopping anyones arms and giving away free kicks a lot of the time.

Spot on. He and Scarlett are two of the best readers of the ball I've seen. I couldn't count the number of times I've seen a pack form where the ball is supposed to drop and yet Scarlett takes an uncontested mark behind the pack.
