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

[JGreezy]

Plonk this superstar on a wing for the next 15 years and be done with it.
He has a massive tank already and it'll only get better.
Will still be able to provide run out of the back 50 whilst having plenty of opportunity to deliver inside forward 50 and hit the scoreboard.
Could be one of the best end to end players in modern history.
A faster Sidebottom with better skills.

I tend to agree. Need him all over the ground and around the ball as much as possible. Put him on the wing or in the middle.

 

[JGreezy]

Yeah I made the same comparison to an old bloke I know…..his response, no way he’s much better, Keith Grieg a much better comparison.

My old man, a blues fan so not North biased, made the same comparison. Even said that if he could have any player drafted in the last 5 years it would be Sheezel.

He's going to have some career, multiple All Australians imo

I feel like it’s just hitting me now that this 18 year old went out and won a best and fairest in league football? Bloody hell. What a joy, pleasure, privilege it’s going to be watching this man’s career in the blue and white

Yeah, I've been having the same thoughts. Probably the most exciting bit is that I think very little about his game relies on his age. He's not about blistering speed. It's all stuff that will improve as he gets games - fitter from a huge base, stronger from a low base and his football brain will only continue to take advantage as he builds.

Also genuinely loves the club and wants to make us better.

A pending murder charge or off-season paralysis can't be too far off tbh

Or a 60 minutes expose about his underground sex trafficking ring

Was on SEN , the kid is so modest and mature when he is interviewed.

 

[Ashley B]

Generational talent quite often isn’t the number 1 pick. We may have found one here, let’s hope.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Already taken for granted.

He’s 18 FFS.

This is almost the most amazing part.

He's got incredible natural talent but the way he gets up and speaks with genuine modesty, not some false humility where he really wants to just big himself up - is something else.

Wardlaw gives off a very similar vibe.

Very much a case of:

If you’re good, you tell everyone.

If you’re great, everyone tells you.

He's not slouch, but I agree - you can't teach Sheezel's ball skills and touch - you either got it, or you ain't.
