My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 22, Duckworth

 

[Old Campaigner]

9 marks, 2 goals. Brilliant stuff.

*10 marks

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Wonder if he was carrying something that first week, because light and day between work rate and competitiveness. Amazing performance.

*10 marks

Mine still says 9. Let's fight about it for 30 pages

10 marks

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Oh boy

 

[Phone]

well Jones himself clearly rules out one of those marks

 

[naraku]

For the first time in around 18 months, Harrison Jones showed up!

I know injuries haven't helped, but he had barely looked  vfl standard.
Hoping this is the platform Harry needs to get confident and playing well again.

 

[Call Me Cake]

He's always had all the attributes of what you'd want a KPF to have, height, agility, marking and a good kick. The only thing that has always let him down was in his head and the want to mix it all together. It's up to him to continue to get over those mental demons. It's there for him to take it if he wants it.

 

[brain taylor]

he’s back

 

[Highly Evolved]

I'm really glad he had such a good game. It's good to see him get some confidence.

Very certain I cursed him with the "My Boy" draft last year.

 

[jannissary]

looked really good all day, completely different player

 

[andleanback]

And on Easter Saturday Harry jones rose from the grave

 

[ant555]

That is what we like to see and what we saw in his second year . Looked like he enjoyed have the leading lanes and also worked his ring off up the ground.

 

[crackers65]

Just needs to keep his work rate up. He hasn’t played a lot of football and I thought he looked a little fitter today. Needs continuity, don’t get injured now Harry.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

The 10 marks is a career-high (beating the two outings he had 8 in 2021) and the 13 disposals is his second-most in a match (behind 14 against Hawthorn in '21).

Has always had the tank to lead up all day, but it makes all the difference if he can actually get to good spots.

Wow 10 marks that is great to hear. I hope it’s a stepping stone for him.

You don't lose your ability but you do lose confidence.

I have no doubt that we have a serious player on our hands, I've never doubted his work rate just needs to keep clunking those marks and his confidence will sky rocket.

Ive always thought of him as an oversized flanker. More Jack Gunston than Taylor Walker despite being similar height to both

 

[Schnitzengruben]

His work rate was enormous. So often he ended up in our D50 trying to help out the defence, even beating our mids out defensively. Genuinely thinks he's playing for his career. Hoping he can build off this game for the rest of the season.

 

[Vindicater]

He is someone who needs a run and leap at a mark.

So does Wright.

It does not surprise me that he looked better once he was paired with a forward looking to stand and wrestle (Draper/Goldstein) instead of another forward who likes to run and leap (Wright)

 

[Squeaky]

Well done kid. Was an awesome game.
In the air and on the ground.
Onwards and upwards please.

 

[Old man fletch]

Jack Reiwoldt is the guy he should be trying to emulate. Jack wasn't the biggest forward going around by any measure.

But what a massive set of balls.

Harry needs bigger balls.

Played more like his cousin yesterday. Loved it. 2 goals were great, but I really liked how often he outran his man to give us a marking option up the field

 

[Doss]

There’s life in Harry yet. The best he’s played in a long time.

 

[Milanista28]

Looked like a man yesterday, 1st time I can remember thinking that about him, all day he had that "I'm getting it done" look

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

10 marks?
