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

[Kangaroos4eva]

The Dyl & Friends podcast with Harry is worth a listen. Talked about how we encourage new players to ring past players that wore their number and what that number means to them.

"Hi ... um Jed.."

Mentioned just walking upstairs to chat to Brady.

 

[Hojuman]

"Hi ... um Jed.."

Harry doesn't have Brady's number ?

 

[leighlee13]

Can't teach that sort of spatial awareness and vision. Thing of beauty.

Still can't believe we have a player like him. This sort of makes up for finishing on the bottom of the ladder.

 

[shinboner magic]

Hey use to clarko throwing him around this year.
It’s his first year and I don’t think we want him getting knees in the back from the helicopter Punts we kick forward.
Our fans seem to undervalue half back as much as the last few coaches we’ve had

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Whately and Robbo called him “club changing” on AFL360 as they marvelled at his highlights.

Anyone got a clip?

would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Hamish Free and Brad Mangan had a chat. the stories they could tell

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

TT on 1 HB , Harry on the other and the Goat on the wing..

AC doesn’t mind playing his smartest and most talented behind the ball. Both Hodge and Mitchell played seasons there.

 

[ferball]

Actually the wrong option. A One Two with McDonald would have seen LMac be able to carry and kick with little pressure as opposed to Perez having to kick under pressure. So yeah, really cute bit of play but the wrong play.

I kind of agree but it seemed like Lmac wasn't really moving fast enough to provide the option or even make it if Sheezel put it out in front of him.

With poor old Oscar Junker sitting by the phone wondering when it will ring.

There you have it, he's our Star Forward

Interesting. Shiels, inside mid?… Cunnington, forward?
Bonar, tall defender?

 

[Val Keating]

I don't get why we have to earmark him to a position?

Can't we play him exactly how we did on the weekend?


A dangerous forward > half back - every day of the week.

If he's being frozen out because of lack of I50's or a tight defender, move him back or even in the midfield.

I see no reason why we can't swing him between the arc's regularly. In fact he'd be a nightmare for oppo coaches if he was doing that.

Rotate him as the spare behind the ball, then when we have a rotation move him forward (likely to lose oppo defenders in the transition there etc).

I'd just rotate him back/forward/mid in the bench rotations and hope that the oppo sides lose track of him when he does go forward.


In fact if he's playing forward, starting off the back of the square at half back isn't the worst option either, often Dustin does that and then it plays havoc with the defensive structures as he drifts forward immediately.

You could play +2 in defence at CB's with Sheezel + spare defender there, with Sheezel coming hard off the square for the overlap and then move quickly half forward/deep forward.

Spot on. The coaches will just move him to where the play is.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Cunnington, forward?

Good discussion on the latest Inside North by Clarko, talking about how the game has moved away from rotating off when you need a spell, need to look back to the 70s and 80s when you rested forward. Mentioned he reckons realistically Cunners may never need to come off, he's dangerous enough that if he rests forward he can still get the rest he needs, but also pop up for a few goals etc.

Also interesting that he said that it’s not just that his opponent won’t just let him wander forward, they have to go with him which opens up the middle.

Sounded like he’s trying to decongest the middle of the ground and knows that Cunners isn’t the best runner but also that he’s a dangerous forward. The best coaches simplify the game and the others try to make it sound more complicated than it is, Clarko is the polar opposite of Ross Lyon.

I reckon that's been altered for the doco.
