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

[Northwards]

He's no longer welcome on the NMFC BigFooty board so he's taken to Twitter where he started sending me some abuse the other week.

And yes, he still thinks Sheezel has s**t disposal and "lacks a penetrating kick".

Has great disposal for sure. I have had the thought in games it’s not the most penetrating kick when he tries to send one to be fair, but I have mostly attributed it to being under pressure/no clear option forward of the ball. Tends to make players get under it abit.

But really it’s like kicking the tyres on a Ferrari at this point. He’s an out and out gun. Just needs a few more mates to give a shit like him.

This is it.
Mav only went after sheezel cos everyone was laying into lmac.
But there’s absolutely no comparison there on any metric whatsoever. Now don’t get me wrong, sheezel shouldn’t be above criticism, but he is the least of our worries.

This is the only sane approach, yup.

For anyone interested

We scored 10 goals today, and Sheezel contributed to the possession chain of 7 of them.

 

[justroyal]

I’m starting to think about what’s the best way to use him. Is it start the game in the middle and try to get us rolling, and if there are signs of things becoming a little detached like around mid of the second, get him back in the back line to get some level headedness?

 

[amaz199]

Our deficiencies are exposed when he moves around.

He leaves HBF and goes in the middle, we turn it over at HBF.

He leaves midfield and goes back, we can't extract the ball properly in the middle.

He goes forward, tumbleweeds. He can't get much of it because we suck.

With McKercher out it would have been an easy thing to do putting him in defence again.

Glad he stayed in his new spot.....was really good today.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

It’s obvious Sheezel is not fit enough to play in the midfield. Perhaps that’s why he has been hidden in the backline.
But the problem is, who at NMFC is going to show Harry what level of fitness is required to be an elite AFL midfielder???

Give him the old role back plz

Please put him back to the backline. Put him there and move kerch to the wing, at least then we'll have some actual pace on the wing.

Put him back before we destroy him, we don't have the leaders or structure to transform him into a Daicos-esque player forward of the ball.

Hear ye of little faith.

 

[JGreezy]

Our focus needs to be Sheezel's development. I'd play him in the middle for the rest of the year.

I reckon Fisher has looked a lot better since Sheezel moved up the ground.

It allows McKercher to develop down back, too. We've already committed to the rebuild, so there's no point in looking for quick wins now.

We simply must have this guy on the podium as a North Melbourne player, crushed by his array of Norm Smith and premiership medals.

It has to be done. Not negotiable.

flipping unreal hey.

 

[King Corey]

Powell also alert enough to move it straight on.

 

[Val Keating]

Looks a lot like a throw tbf.

 

[Shinboner1]

Some of those handballs and bullet kicks on the weekend

 

[Shinboner1]

Looks a lot like a throw tbf.

Just like cunners 1 arm handball

 

[Chadwiko]

Sheezel and Wardlaw just look like they've literally grown up on footy. Everything they do looks effortless and natural and silky smooth.

We're so lucky to have them.

 

[ferball]

There's another one three minutes into the game. 17.05 left on the clock in the first quarter.

 

[DocSholl]

Leads the league in effective disposals and is also top 20 in metres gained

 

[speedy]

Some dude from champion data said last night on SEN that they have Sheez ranked top 25 players in the comp after his move to the midfield. Take that with a grain of salt but it's promising never the less.

He also said LDU has been killing it the last month. And didn't the Warlord get ranked as best at his position for his age earlier in the year?

Our hopes of fielding an elite midfield might yet come to fruition. We just need to pump 50+ games into Sheez, Warlord, Powell & McKercher... and hope LDU sticks around.

Well by the end of next season all those will have passed or be approaching 50 games.

LDU should have a fair handle on that group's capabilities by then.

Yes, Daniel Hoyne from CD.

Did anyone see that clip North posted of his pre-match prep? He takes his drills very seriously. It reminds me of Boomer, who always said his preparation for games was the main contributor to his longevity.
