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

[The Nostradamus]

All Australian hbf

 

[gokangas]

He actually has good skills ffs.

 

[Grogg]

Ridiculous player - how he didn’t go number 1 in the draft is beyond me!

Dunno, but Im pretty sure we rated him at 1. No knock on Marky Marks kid, but I dont think there's a lot between them and you wouldn't swap him for the world.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

He’s gotta be a robot, right?

 

[Dingster]

Outstanding, but lets stop and marvel at the last play. Intense pressure and not only did he react before anyone to get to the fall of the ball just metres from the line, but he had the audacity to be clean under that heat.

 

[Mixed Results]

Last week was a great moment, as he showed off the smarts, poise and skill that makes him a generational talent, but I thought he was way better tonight. It may not show on the stat sheet, but in his second game at half back I thought he took his game to another level. The defensive work was unreal, he had a ton of damaging possessions, and the composure he showed a couple of times towards the end was unreal.

This is unreal. There's no words for this. It's his second game and he is averaging the 6th most possessions in the AFL at the moment, and a lot of them are damaging long kicks or clean handballs. Daicos is the obvious comparison, but it took him twelve weeks to get his second 30-touch game.

 

[gokangas]

His footy smarts are ridiculously good for a newbie.

 

[Disco Dew]

lets just keep the lid on here please. he has only played two games ffs. Settle.

I said it last week, I’ll say it again.

It’s too late, the lid is long gone!

Kid is just sensational.

That lid is in orbit around Mars right now, it is so far off.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Can he be nominated 2 weeks in a row?

 

[Kanga Glory]

Thanks (mummies boy) couldn’t give a shit if it’s not related just makes me feel good

 

[GreatBradScott]

Ridiculous footballer.

 

[Digby Morrell]

Obviously racks them up but he is a great defender. Didn’t pick him as the type of player to really put his body on the line like he does. It’s the stuff that goes unnoticed that I really like about him

I've already gone to the effort of googling who the youngest ever All Australian was.

The good news is that the record is Sheezel's if he stays healthy,

 

[Mordecai]

He got back to defend at some crucial moments. Square to square player. His tank must be huge.

 

[Danni_Benson]

H A R R Y !!!!!

 

[Sphynx]

He was limping pretty badly after the toe poke and we know he had a sore foot going into the game.

Hopefully he pulls up alright.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Iceman. Does not make a mistake under pressure.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Hate to say it, only the 30 touches. On the decline?

Played better this week. most of his his possessions were under immense pressure. His defensive game this week was off the charts.

 

[Lomas]

Played better this week. most of his his possessions were under immense pressure. His defensive game this week was off the charts.

Fine, I'm just really worried about the drop off and second game blues.

 

[trooroo4life]

Played better this week. most of his his possessions were under immense pressure. His defensive game this week was off the charts.

Got up and spoiled their ruckman at one stage, was either Darcy or Jackson, he got a fist in a 1v1. Was great defensively, he’s a pure footballer.

 

[SammyRoo]

 

[DocSholl]

Some of the kicks he hit tonight were insane. His brain is so far ahead of most players and he has the skill to take advantage of it.

 

[Lomas]

more importantly, was there a flag?
