Player Watch #3: Harry Sheezel - 23 AFL RS/NM SBM, AFLPA BYP, '24 AA squad, '24 AFLCA BYP

[shintemaster]

If you wanted to take their logic to the next level, why wasn’t George Wardlaw measured on the impact to the team for all the games he missed?

As I said it’s just clowns trying to validate who they want to win. Using anything and everything to justify that viewpoint, while ignoring actual performances.

How do they know that Ashcroft level wouldn’t drop off in the last 6 games with fatigue?

LDU would be in the AA as would TT if missing games was in any way relevant. FWIW Sheezel was better even before Ashcroft was injured.

 

[Lomas]

Shhhh!

The media want everyone to think that the Lions imploded and we’re a basket case because a 18/19 year old kid wasn’t in their midfield.

They want to save money on remaking the trophy that they had engraved with the name Ashcroft prior to Round 1.

Yeah, I keep hearing Ashcroft is the fave because they have never seen a kid walk into pre season with so much professionalism.
We have been under the mistaken impression that it is about performance during the year.

Apologies if already posted.

It has to be Harry: Why Roos gun should be top of the crop

[hoffseason gains]

Sheez took his game to another level in the last 5 weeks - carried our ball movement. 121/144 disposals effective. So few mistakes, such high impact.

I personally think in a good team he’d be a better forward or midfielder than Owens or Ashcroft are too, but that’s just my opinion.

I’d have Amiss second personally.

 

[viccles]

What time is it on?

 

[gokangas]

Good luck lad! Should be a certainty.

 

[disco_cowboy]

has he won yet?

 

[Ashley B]

Would be a flipping disgrace if he doesn’t win. But then again won’t be surprised do people like Kane Cornes vote lol.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Cynic in me wants to think that they didn't name him in the AA 40 because it makes it look better if they decide not to award him the RS.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

I think he'll get North'd.

You get a bunch of pinheads like Cornes and Ling in a room and they all want to prove how clever and insightful they are.

They'll all come up with some fingernail-deep bullshit around how half-back is an easy spot to pick up cheap touches, especially at North because the ball was down there so much. They'll say Ashcroft had the better year because he was in the engine room in a top four team.

I really hope he wins, he deserves to, but I'm not holding my breath.

Kind of like how Goal Assists were never a thing until it came time to rob Ben Brown of an AA gig.

Exactly. They'll say it's easy to rack up all these touches off half-back in his first year, even though he's the only one racking up these touches in his first year.

Also, Kane hates regular kick in takers and their impact on stats.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Exactly. They'll say it's easy to rack up all these touches off half-back, even though he's the only one racking up these numbers in his first year.

Which is quite easily countered with ‘if it’s that easy, why aren’t they all doing it??’

 

[Ashley B]

Harry has played a very similar role to last yrs winner . But they more often than not come up with peculiar ways of ostracising us from every award possible.

 

[Hojuman]

Nick Daicos has to return his R.S. award then ?

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Played for a better team that didn't concede so much territory, they'll say.

As TPA said, BBB kicked 60 three years in a row and didn't make it. I'm not holding my breath on Larkey either. These things have gone against us for a long time.

 

[shinboner magic]

All this BS that Ashcroft was able to get into a top 4 team and perform ………….. Harry would be a walk up start in every single team
And he’d kill it as well.

 

[The Nostradamus]

What time is it on?

Coverage starts at 7pm

No idea what award is first up though

The guy on the right looks familiar. It can't George Wardlaw because he's not wearing DIY attire.

 

[Gasometer]

Need to know what time exactly please

They look like very new clothes and shoes.

Surely they are running out of ideas . This maybe our chance for our club to get a crumb of recognition lol
