[zoomba23]

Looked cooked 6 weeks ago. Still hasn’t missed a game.

This is genuinely the most impressive aspect for me. He looked ****ed, yet not only did he keep going, he actually elevated his level. ****ing remarkable mental strength and endurance

 

[The Nostradamus]

How much you want to bet that if he wins the rising star, there will be pressure to water down any priority pick package on the basis that we already have the best player in the draft.
It will be weaponised in the narrative.

Nah it actually should be used as a reason we get a first round priority pick

The fact that a first year player can have such a big impact and our best player this year

Get another and we will be more competitive instantly and in the future

Sheezel’s had 12 games of 30 or more disposals, two of which have been 35 or more

As far as rising stars go, Ashcroft has had two 30 or more games (neither were 35+) … and that’s it

As for the rest of the league, looking at players with similar disposal numbers to Sheez:
Tom Green - 13 games of 30 or more (6 of which were 35 or more)
N.Daicos - 12 (8)
Serong - 12 (5)
Parish - 10 (5)
Taranto - 10 (3)
Sinclair - 10 (2)
Treloar - 9 (2)
Neale, Butters, Coniglio - 9 (1)
B.Crouch - 9 (0)
Merrett - 8 (4)
Oliver - 8 (3)
Laird - 8 (2)
Petracca, Dawson - 8 (1)
Brayshaw - 8 (0)
Gulden - 7 (3)
Libba - 7 (2)
Bont - 7 (0)


He deserves every superlative you can think of.

So you are saying that one player in the league has had more games where they got 30 disposals or more, and there is even a debate as to whether he wins the RS??!

The footballing world/media can just go and get f*cked. This is such a no-brainer that the “experts” and journalists are confirming both their bias against North and their idiocy.

The guy should legitimately be making the AA40.

Thank you for finding the data here.

You are bang on. Exactly what will happen.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Yeah, but Kornes says they are all from kick ins.

Good thing that our opponents kick 30+ behinds every week.

 

[The Butcher]

Sheez has me convinced. we have a team that is less than its parts. End to end. He is no Arch snr, Mickey Martian (exept for that Gablet mark), or peek Daw.. we'd never know it tho if the team was better. The players.. ****it im off. Chocky milk time

The numbers clearly speak for themselves and that’s all that should matter. I know I am likely to be bitterly disappointed when Sheezel gets overlooked for Ashcroft just because he plays for us and we have been ordinary.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Sheez is the $1.40 favourite.

Ashcroft $3.50

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sheez is the $1.40 favourite.

Ashcroft $3.50

there is no debate

undisputed winner

How many vote?
Will we know who they voted for? eg who Cornes votes for?

How in gods name do the afl have that bloke as a selector given the way he speaks about players?

 

[koshari]

another observation, sheez has fantastic balance, cant recall seeing him lose his footing, in a time when plenty of other players go to ground far to easily and frequently.

So good with his hands too. So many iffy handballs he gets and he picks it up so easily.

he watches the flight of the ball like a hawk, it also enables him to pickpocket/intercept.

AFL website says this for weekly selections so I assume it's this crew:

Kevin Sheehan (Chairperson), Nathan Buckley, Jude Bolton, Kane Cornes, and Abbey Holmes.

One of the boundary riders on the weekend commented that "Sheezel will probably win it now since Ashcroft has gone down"

Well *ing spare me. Sheez has had the rising star wrapped up since R1. If he doesn't win it I will riot. Best first year of AFL footy for any player, ever.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It's ****ing undeniable that he wins it. If anyone else says otherwise they are a ****ing fruit loop. You simply can't overlook the pure numbers.

It's horseshit. Harry is putting up record breaking numbers for a first year player.

2nd highest ranked player on the ground... to Dustin Martin. In his first season. Sky is the limit.

Need to send that to the various media outlets/shows to really press his case. Send it to Kane as well to see if you get a response.

 

[kangatragic]

Couldn't care less about the rising star crap award. We know what we've got and wouldn't swap him for any other player from the last few drafts

 

[Psychic Roo]

Good thing that our opponents kick 30+ behinds every week.

Kormes Doesn't watch us. I watched him closely this week - HS wants the ball all the time. Always thinking how to. You can see his mind ticking. Puts himself into great spots. Shuffles into space. Super smart. And he uses it in really creative ways that we can score from. He stands very comfortably with and above most previous winners of the RS.

 

[kangatragic]

One of the few players we have that I have full confidence that something good is gonna happen when he is about to grab the ball because he rarely fumbles, plus once it is in his hands that nearly always ends well also.

*5th.

According to my Monday emails.

It was Tarryns best game of his career, just eclipsing his game against Carlton in Round 19 2021.

Advanced stat keepers had him by far and away best on ground ahead of Martin and Bolton by a fair bit, with Sheezel some ways behind.

It has been by far Harry’s best 6 week block of his season.

He’s been probably the best half back in the comp statistically the last 6 weeks.

Harry has made a few errors, forced and unforced but what I like is that instead of dropping his head or grinning and accepting the results he follows up with desperation and often wins the ball back. He did that with his first possession. This guy can play and he has the will to win.
