AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - Clocks up 50th game v Gold Coast - 5/8

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 22, Duckworth

 

[rusman]

We moved up 5 picks and got back a 3rd this year (50)

then traded 50 for 3rd and 4th next year

 

[BrunoV]

We went from 35 to 30 and have up a 2nd for a 3rd.

Okay, I thought we were 31.

 

[TDay]

So with the on trade of 50, it works out to:
OUT: Future 2nd
IN: a 5 pick upgrade to get our guy, 2 future 3rds and a future 4th.

Not bad in the end! How does that shake out for bidding points next year? Are two 3rds and a 4th worth about the same as a 2nd?

 

[naraku]

Since some projected Harrison to go as early as 21, I am happy to land him.

Between he, Gown and Zerk we hopefully have a good spine for 10+ year's.

Smart pick, very good athlete and has football smarts aswell.

had a terrific run down tackle in the finals which is hopefully included in his highlights

Two surnames is concerning.

George Brett is an example of why two first names is a better bet

Let's say we get 45, 50 and 68 it roughly translates to pick 28

His draft vid reminds me of Mitch Brown o_0

 

[Bombers36]

moves well this kid and I'm very happy we got him for pick 30 - will need (and be given) time to develop in the reserves but could potentially play that 3rd tall forward role for the seniors in 2021

Post reported.

Enjoy your holiday.

Already a story in the HUN about how Harry is the back up plan for Joe Daniher.

Has anyone in this club ever pondered the merits of not speaking to the media?

[Runk]

It's an indictment on today's youth that a 163cm 44yr old outweighs a 194cm 18yr old.

Disgrace.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Between he, Gown and Zerk we hopefully have a good spine for 10+ year's.

You can see their spines.

 

[eth-dog]

Looking forward to see him and Gown in tandem next year.

We also got pick 63 back this year for 50 which was used on Lachlan Johnson.

Lordy. He makes Gleeson look beastly.

Fortunately, like Gleeson, he seems quite talented.

They forget he could also be second tall with Joe or even play KPD.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Does he have much crash and bash to his game or is he more uncontested like a Gunston type?

 

[eDPS]

Ive updated the OP with some info on young Harry

 

[gohardorgohome]

Harry is a really nice kid and a big game player. His last quarter efforts for Gisborne in Under 16 (2016) and Under 18 (2018) Grand Finals had a huge influence on his team getting over the line to win.

 

[faible]

Sounds a little bit Jack Darling-esque to me?

Mobile, capable of playing a supporting ruck role, capable at ground level. If he can build his size and strength he's got plenty of attributes to work with.

Actually not the silliest comparison. Hopefully a bit better but Brown was a first round pick in his day too, before injuries got him.
