What would you give for harris

[speedpeck23]

Prety sure my thread title explains it

Believe he is what your club needs

rolf..... sure he's well passed it

 

[Lockyer24]

Yeah I'd give a player for him, not a draft pick.

In my opinion Ben Johnson is a fair swap.

 

[smiddaz123]

What the hell? Shaw and Johnson are nowhere near good enough for him.

 

[smiddaz123]

Shaw is averaging more disposals than Harris and breaks lines.. you couldn't get 2 more different players but they suit the needs of each club and are the same age, line breaker for extractor.. perfect trade!

Shaw's disposals are disgusting, let's be honest. It's probably a bad thing that he averages more disposals.

Harris>>>>>Rhyce Shaw.

Shaw would go close, Johnson no chance.

 

[Axl the great]

Seems down on confidence and form but thats probably due to being Laidleys whipping boy and the fact he only plays about 65% a game.
Good player though for mine and the feeling is that at a club like collingwood where trust and confidence is instilled in our boys he could improve dramatically and we could have yet another bargain buy on our hands.
Harris for Johnno could do it i reckon as Laidley seems to be as sick of him as he is of Laids.

 

[smiddaz123]

But he does break lines, got smashed last week when he was on the bench

Breaking the lines doesn't make you a good footballer.....

 

[Pie Legend]

More Rhyce bashing ffs. The guy is a good player, tries his heart out. breaks lines etc. I wonder what people will think when he is our top 3 in the Copeland before his suspension..

Johnson for Harris sounds good though.

 

[didaka]

I'd trade for him if it were a straight swap for a player.

 

[stui magpie]

a 3 day old BLT on rye?

 

[smiddaz123]

Well the selectors disagree with you, seems he's good enough to play almost every game this year

It doesn't make him better than Harris.

 

[shawthing09]

Everything you are saying about Shaw the more negative posters over in the North board are saying about Harris.. and it seems Laidley is far unhappier with Harris than Malthouse is with Shaw.

I'd deffinately do a swap of Rhyce for Harris and then push O'Bree into the 2's.

 

[zorbadunde]

guys how about liegh brown? i know we have some talls but it looks like north will let him go

So I guess your username is only referring to Heath then.

 

[FlyingDucks]

Shaw would go close, Johnson no chance.

Id give them my Dads best t-shirt. Harris is very overrated. No better than Johnson or Shaw.

We need Cousins and Kerr.

 

[The Sqawka]

haha harris is a joke. a slow, unskilled bad decision maker!

we dont want another half footballer.. although rhyce shaws days do seem numbered. i dont think anyone would pick up johno.

shaw and harris are as bad as each other. rhyce shaw does however possess skill and pace enough to on the odd chance change a game (unlike harris).. the thing is he buggers up more often that not..

bad thread for mine

 

[smiddaz123]

There's a reason they're letting him go.....he's a disgusting footballer.

Harris is every bit as good as Scott Burns when in form. I'd back our coaching staff to get it out of him.

I'd offer our 2nd rounder. If Rhyce is to be involved, I'd say Rhyce + a 3rd rounder, although I'd prefer to keep Rhyce.

Ben Johnson has zero trade value.

 

[chunk_master]

i reckon i'd give a first rounder and a decent player for him

but there would have to be a condition in his contract that he also changes his surname to Lake... like big bad brianos lakosaurus!

Rhyce or Johnson may have some value to North with Sinclair retiring as well. If Laidley wants Harris out, they could trade for Rhyce or Johnson to give them coverage until the draft pick they use from Sinclair retiring comes through.

We may think Johnson has no trade value but I reckon the Bulldogs would have been thinking the same thing about Sam Power last year also.

Rhyce would have value to a lot of teams - he's fast and he's had a good season. Johnson meanwhile has been terrible all season, and was dropped from the team for good after yet another dismal performance in Round 17.

Sam Power was 24 years old, and had a strong finish to 2007. Ben Johnson is turning 28 before next season, and can't crack the team despite several injuries.

Yeah you make some valid points. For some reason I think Johnno has had his papers stamped for reasons other than form. I know his form was not great but he may be made a scapegoat for the supposed drinking culture.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Johnno surely isn't too old for Fremantle. They took another Johnno recently when half of his salary was the aged pension.

I'm lukewarm on Harris, and am thinking along the same lines as Didaka. If we can do it with a player swap involved, great, if not then I'm not interested. Harris is probably two years too old for us to have a red-hot go at him.

They wouldn't do it again though would they?

Although they do need to fill some spots with a lot of retirements and they may need some experience. And he could hang out with Taz again
