If this was me, she can have everything. I have Reid. That’s all I need.

Pretty sure he meant the West newspaper when he made that comment.

He is the chosen one.
Takes the time to make the right decision because he knows he can 100% beat any campaigner that comes near him. It's incredible to watch
FENDAAAAAA.....

Phil, sorry. That was just a dumb joke. No offence intended.
The first part re your input about footy, sincere, I do love it.
Thankfully don't need a divorce lawyer, but AFL & Norf might need one after not dealing for Harley
It's so natural to him, because running away is an unknown outcome with limited time to dispose, getting into him and creating that space creates the time to look upfield and by moving in Petracca hasn't started to get low at the hips.
It's preempting the tackle before they start it, they're still too upright and the chest is a big target, plus the change of momentum into the tackler creates more force to push with.
Just make a mental note to call out her name and not Harley's whe you are having your special time.

He doesn’t even worry about the first tackler, no respect, I love it.

Agree. It is crazy from a player in his first handful of games.
Matrix...Neo is still learning.
Don’t worry mate, she is probably thinking about Harley herself.
Even though I love Harley I'll put my hand up and say I was wrong and was prove wrong in his freaking first year.
These were my main concerns:
1. Lack of speed
2. Inability to fend off against grown AFL players (Proven wrong against Sydney)
3. Inability to translate his U18 marking to AFL (Proven wrong against Fremantle)
4. Not agile enough to play Forward (Proven wrong against Fremantle)
5. Unable to rise against harder competition (Proven wrong against Melb)
6. Difficulties with accumulating first year (Proven wrong vs Tigers)
7. Uncontrolled kicking
All that's left is endurance for full 4 quarter games. I wasn't concerned about goal kicking accuracy since that can be taught in AFL system

First time seeing this KID live, Jesus, a massive FU Eagles fans, you have a ripper
Once in a generation talent, I will be making Eagles my no.2 team just to watch him
Well done to the club in sticking true and grabbing him, a massive well done when you extend him, which you will

Endurance will get better with pre-seasons. If the mids can do ok without him there he can rest forward. He is a power athlete so will never run like Scully or Gaff but just to build those midfield minutes up and rely less on resting forward as he gets more pre-seasons will be good.
So dangerous up forward though so it's not too big an issue if others can cover for him when he's not in the middle.

Pretty good , I know who he reminds me of but cannot say ...too much pressure . Every player is unique , hope Harley keeps playing well , One week at a time hopefully success at WC .
We are being spoilt .

The centre clearance 3 bounce goal from 50 was definitely awesome, but I enjoyed his second goal so much more; he was legit like water - 100% fluid. Read the ball, the bounce, his opposition, worked the angles, shoved his opponent at the perfect time in the right direction that the contest was over in less than half a second, powered into goal with a great check-side at speed. That was the work of an elite & experienced footballer.
Excuse me while I have a cigarette after recounting it.

Of all the people in the world, you picked a Norf supporter. What's the chances? One in 8 billion?
The expression on the Melbourne defender after Reid made him look like a Norf player too. Perfection.

He got shoved and immediately dropped his head knowing that he was done and Reid was kicking the goal. It was instant defeat.
