Catenaccio, AFL style.

Yep, but Only in the first quarter. After that the Cats will go into cruise mode like always

I know some have tried but I don’t think there’s any positive way to spin a one year deal for a 22yo key forward.

His body is shot I would say, more likely than not.

Surely it's just conservative on both sides. Can't see why either side would want to lock in a cheap as chips deal for anything more than 12 months

His body ain’t shot… yet
He has 12 months to show that he can hold up for a season though, at the same time it might be a bit of a wake up call to Harry to actually full apply himself. Why would we give 2 years right now, every complaining about smith and Stewart getting 2 years this is the right call for now.

Most prefer job security

Its a huge worry for me

And the other question is, was no one offering 2 years or did he stay for less years?

Or that was the only offer he was going to get…

A couple still uncontested on the lead, while our lads stand around looking stunned at what just happened.

Genuinely hope he succeeds, but hope we’re not banking our forward line for the next 10 years on that being the case with no back up plan….

Fair call, but if he was the backup plan, we wouldn't be offering a 1 year contract.

 

[MiguelM]

Good call on 1 year. Finally the club getting tough.

In the past we would offer him 3 years.

Now the ball firmly in his court. Tough but fair IMO.

Definitely conservative - we’re not even willing to give him two years as a 23yo key forward. It wouldn’t have cost much and we have endless cap space.

Bad signs. Hope I’m wrong.

How do you know he has not got any triggers in the contract that can see him get longer once he reaches them ? They want him to get his body right and actually find some form.

Doing a fair bit of work already, full head of steam into the pre-season

Harrison Jones, who had a back stress fracture and an ankle reconstruction through the season, is tracking well.

"Harry Jones is going really well. He's been able to do a fair bit of work over the last few months so he'll be full steam ahead when they return," he said.

The way he started his career was so promising. If he has a strong, uninterrupted pre season I think he'll make it because the talent is obvious.

And get a haircut.

Just do a Doise and go the beach blond dreads

They were absolutely horrible!

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

If he's still rocking that mop on top we know this joker ain't serious.

First thing to do is go a clean no. 2 and focus all his efforts and mindspace on being a genuine footballer

 

[frodos gardener]

And he’ll always have his slightly asymmetrically angled eyebrows so it’s not like he’ll be lacking character.
