Sorry to burst your bubble. He played representative basketball for Hawthorn Magic.The most impressive thing about this is Harry doesn't come from a basketball background.
Too early. I'd have the Bont as the best player in the game right now.Hardly a big call now - but he's going to be the best player in the competition as soon as next season, IMO.
He said next season... but the fact he's in the conversation is wild.Too early. I'd have the Bont as the best player in the game right now.
But does he surf?Sorry to burst your bubble. He played representative basketball for Hawthorn Magic.
I knew it didn't look right.
What surprised me about that game was the average age of the North team was only 22y 194d's, 12 of the 20 players had less than 50 games experience and another 5 had between 50 and 70 games experience. Only Larkin, Fairley and Ross Smith had played over 100 games and Larkin was the most experienced at 125 games.

This team was a full two years younger than the team that played Carlton on the weekend and was probably looking more promising than our current team, but it would be three more seasons, further player turnover (I think there are about 9/10 players listed who had either left or played only a minor role beyond the start of 1993) and a change of coach before we really hit the bigtime and started playing finals and competing for flags.
We already have the coach and I think we have the majority of our lineup that should see us playing more competitive footy in 2025 and beyond, so it will be interesting to see if it takes another three seasons before we are competing the finals and flags. I hope not.
Good call, is staggering how well he is playing. Elite talent personifiedAm I missing something or has there been very little media fanfare for his performance on the weekend? I mean, he just dropped 35 and 2 against a top four side while playing for a bottom four side (and it wasn't like he was stat padding). That'd be a brilliant performance for anyone, but this kid hasn't even played two complete seasons yet.

Great call.Class player and class person.
The thing I love about him is that he's got integrity and it shows in the way he plays the game.
Goes back with the flight and cops the hit. Sticks his head over the hardball. Goes hard in both the defensive and attacking aspects of the game. I honestly can't ever remember him throwing his head back to milk a high or stage to win any free kick.
I don't want to shit on Daicos for the sake of it but both he and Sheezel are being compared quite a bit. None of the things I just wrote above can be said about Daicos.
One of those players that deserves to be universally loved and will be remembered for all the right reasons.
He surfs hanging 10 over the front of a thruster like its a malibu whilst simultaneously solving 2 rubiks cubes that he juggles. All of this whilst cooly avoiding other unscrupulous surfers that cut on on him.But does he surf?
For the last few years, maybe even a decade or more, I've watched other teams have kids come in and absolutely kill it straight away, and moaned to myself, "Why can't we have one like that for once".
Getting to watch a kid like Harry, makes up for it in spades.
No player older than 26 in that side was crazy.I knew it didn't look right.

I believe George Bailey's been on the blower. There's an opening at the top of the order.Was probably dux of his class also
You've missed Hayden Young. Very underrated like Sheezel.Harry won’t make the AA team unless he gets 30 & 3 every game for the rest of the season.
Whilst the numbers suggest he is up there with the very best midfielders in the comp, they (media & AA selectors) will have 10-15 ahead of him right now:
Bont
Daicos
Cripps
Merrett
Neale
Heeney
Warner
Serong
Butters
Treloar
Gulden
All of these guys would be ahead in their minds & possibly a few others.
I think next year will be his year & probably every year after that for a long time.
Of course, he could/should be named on a forward flank, unlike most the above mentioned he can & does play there.
He hasn't ducked over to Paris has he?I believe George Bailey's been on the blower. There's an opening at the top of the order.

I'm having this very discussion right now on the MB.Class player and class person.

I honestly can't ever remember him throwing his head back to milk a high or stage to win any free kick. Just oozes leadership in the way he carries himself and puts the team before himself.
I don't want to shit on Daicos for the sake of it but both he and Sheezel are being compared quite a bit and understandably so. None of the things I just wrote above can be said about Daicos.

Haha. Of course he did.Sorry to burst your bubble. He played representative basketball for Hawthorn Magic.
