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

[Cyber_punk]

His numbers are outrageous.

Its a joke he doesn’t get mentioned with the elite players - they felate Daicos on a weekly basis but Sheez is basically doing the same thing and no one talks about him

I'm ok with the media and oppo underating him. I doubt he gives a shit either.

 

[Hojuman]

The classiest teenager I've seen at North.

Duck was in a different stratosphere.

Mask, l might have to agree with you. Don't think l've seen a kid with as much class & skill so early in his career with us. Probably just Keith
Bertie22 ?

 

[guapo]

Agreed - only Keith (excluding A McAdam for reasons of sustainable output)

Funny no-one since Keith has glided across the ground like he could.
Racehorse was apt.

Daniel Wells, especially before his injuries.

Daniel Wells, especially before his injuries.

True, was trying to think of other teams down thru' the ages.

Second quarter I think. It was so quick it was difficult to see what actually happened, but it was like he summoned the ball to him with telekinesis.

This is an actual Harry skill. His ability to trap the ball is off the charts. It baffles the defending players and opens up play like a can opener.

Reminded me a little of this one last year:

He has that ability to think a few steps ahead, so he goes into a contest already knowing how he's going to win it and come out with the footy.

Footysmarts off the charts.

Interesting career comparisons..

don’t think anyone has been this Elite in their second season.

Sheez is so underrated in the footy world it’s mind blowing..

 

[Karanicolas]

Sheezel v. Daicos next week. Going to be great to watch.

But to be honest, I wouldn’t have them play head to head.

I don’t think Sheeze will be able stay with him in close.

Tell Wardlaw he has to stop him on the inside at all costs. Let Shiel try to shut him down on the outside.

 

[Scottroo]

Harry is doing it at the 18th placed team, daicos is doing it at the reigning premiers.

Harry will tear the comp apart when he has the quality around him.

Get excited, we have our superstar

Would love to see Harry go head to head with Pendles this coming Sunday

 

[Hojuman]

If he plays. Out injured today.

It would be great if all the things being compared were the same ie what are Nick’s metres gained and what are Sheezels clearances? They have the same amount of tackles but Sheezel is elite and Daicos is average which is odd. Still interesting though.

Pretty sure they're position relevant. Sheez has been playing behind the ball for most of his career and just moved to the middle recently, whereas Daicos moved into the middle fulltime half way through last season (i think).

Sheeze is still probably considered a defender vs Daicos a mid?

Thanks. Makes sense

Sheezel would get torched. It would expose one of sheezel’s few weaknesses against Daicos’s greatest strength… speed. I have never seen any player cover the ground with so much speed as Daicos. He just doesn’t stop moving at full pace, until the opposition has the ball that is.

Agree - Daicos' ability to to be continually be in motion at speed is amazing.

He's also become an absolute clearance monster and contested best. Has the most contested possessions in the league and a ridiculous 40 clearances in his last three games. He's a complete freak of nature when you add all that to the fact he's also very quick.
