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

[King Corey]

Yes well you lot have spent the last 20 years taking far too many psychedelics.

I'm still complying our TOTCSM. Every time I think I'm nearly done a CCJ arrives or a Phillips.

If you can compile a really nice slideshow maybe we can get it set to moving music, voiced over by Craig Wilis and shown on the big screen on Grand Final day?

To steal a Dicky Knee line - he started off as a Greek God at Hawthorn and ended up a God dam Greek with us.

LOL - The only time I had psychedlics in the last 20 years was the morning of our first game in 2019.

You're wrong about Will Phillips.

He's already done some amazing things. His ceiling is in the stuff he's done that is quality, like running 30m to bust a pack and win or halve the contest in his first game, running thru packs and leaving the opposition players on the ground or running into each other like keystone cops, short precise kicks that are closer to what Nick Daicos does than anyone else one our side.

As King Corey pointed out after Cam Zurhaar's first game, you can judge a players ceiling on the bullshitly good quality stuff they do in their first few games. When he's 24 and three years of solid muscle wider he's gonna be running thru packs like an angry dwarf thru orcs at the gates of Mordor. Just you wait and see.

That photo still staggers me. Did we not do pre-trade medicals in those days?

He was pick 3 in the drafts not ****ing 88.

He should be an absolute star in the making and he isn’t. A Luff special. Man I appreciate your positive views on all things North.

Happy to be proven wrong and look fwd to it . As with Powells as well.

I don’t think you’ll have any misgivings when Gorgeous Georgie is unleashed. If you think Harry is good, just wait until you see this bloke….

Agree GG I have zero concerns, he’s not a stout type like Phillips

Currently at Hobart airport, Qantas flight delayed by 4 hours. Sheez and the family here as well.

Wanted to say something positive as a big fan, but have to remind myself that I’m a grown man.

What an odd bunch we dedicated supporters are.

Just tell him he's your hero and go on with your day.

 

[Serenity Now]

Ashcroft, Owens, and Callaghan should be a fun battle for second place.

Daicos last year had what is arguably the best first year that we've seen over the past 20 years. If you compare their first eight weeks, then Sheezel is definitely ahead of Daicos. He just needs a signature game or two over the rest of the year and I think it will be fair to say that he had the better year.

I'm also pretty sure that if he reaches 40 touches at any point this year he'll be the youngest to ever do so. It feels like a matter of time before that happens.

Our own Mr Ziebell got 40 touches as a 19 year old. Pretty sure it was a record at the time. I remember that 40 included 20 contested possessions. It might have been against the Doggies.

Let us know his reaction after you walk up and ask "Aw Mr Sheezel, can I have an autograph"

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Feel like we are stifling his creativity…over the last 4 weeks there has been so many times where he has taken possession in a bit of space across half back, only to look up, see no one to kick to. Results in him kicking sideways or backwards or long down the line.

Lol I was there and saw him and probably you. It was a night when flying jet star paid off lol

I know he’s a kid finding his way but would like to see him played in different roles for a few weeks.

Mid, deep forward, wing or high half forward are all positions I’d like to see him have a go at.

Actually found this thread to type something similar. I want to see a few quarters (at least) playing forward over the next few weeks.

haha yep, I watched three jet star flights leave on schedule in that time

 

[Souup]

I reckon It's time to move Sheezel to the forward flank and play Drury in defense.

I doubt it'll happen but I think the timing is right.

Agree. With injuries and players out of form, you would expect perhaps he goes in and tries playing as river for a few quarters over the coming weeks.
