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

[Northball]

I'm observing a lot more "clean" goals derived from clean kicking and marking, whereas earlier in the year most of our goals came from mad scrambles and a bit of luck.

Northball is back

 

[R00StaR]

I don't remember Boomer taking short steps or stopping in front of the ball while someone else takes it away.

But I'm old and my memory is going.

Later in his career he did plus many turnstile tackles.

Early and mid career he was hard at it.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

After a record breaking and BnF/RS winning 1st year he has improved:

Kicks, HBs, Disposals, marks, goals, tackles, Goal assists, I50s and clearances.

Down slightly in R50's after a move into the midfield.

Let's see where his game goes as he and the mids gel more together. Exciting times!!!!

It’s astonishing the consistency in the middle considering he had quite a few game racking up 40+ possessions last year.

 

[Jesslc]

Pretty sure i heard on one of the video's Clarko say Sheez was a bit crook at half time, kudos to him, still played a very nice game, regardless, gun.

Definitely. You see Jy turn around And high five him after that comment from Clarko.

 

[BRider]

Somehow isn't being discussed as an AA squad member..

 

[muttley45]

Despite moving into the midfield, and not getting easy stat's from kick in's etc, Harry has actually improved EVERY stat (averages) except, surprise , surprise, rebound 50's, even metre's gained, but not much media acknowledgement, so far, just wait till he starts kicking multiple snag's.

 

[William Caresser]

Really liked his nonchalant pass for Simpkin's first goal of the last quarter. Made the Eagle's defence look silly and the crowd groaned. We usually make such hard work of I-50s but it was just child's play for Sheez.

 

[koshari]

Mentioned that pick up in the game day thread. So bloody good!

the pickup was sublime, the little rotation of the ball before handballing it of was just icing.

 

[koshari]

flying under the radar a little bit atm, just adjusting to mid/fwd a bit i think he still been pretty good and rarely makes the wrond decision, just so smart. will be better for seeing Daicis's work rate.

Still did some incredible things still that you might miss on first viewing, but today was just a cameo from Harry, if you can call 18 disposals, nearly 100 rating points, 6 tackles, 6 score involvements and 2 goals a cameo.

Very slow at end of the game, not sure if extra running or stiffening up after that crunch earlier. Gun player.

When he went back, knowing he was going to get crunched, and got on with it after getting crunched, confirmed in my mind that he should be made captain next year.

CD just released their post weekend (last 5 weeks advanced stats). A time frame which now coincides with his move

Sheezel #10 ranked player in the comp in 5 week period.
#1 in AFL goal assists in 5 week period.

Averaging 25 touches a game and a smidge under a goal a game in the Mid/Fwd role.

Absolutely amazing how stupidly underrated he is.

Somehow there's no discussion around him being in the AA side.

In these lists as a bare minimum you'd have to have him ahead of:

Dawson, Newman, Pendles, Durham, Martin, Stringer, Young, Ash, Greene, Hardwick, Fritsch, Newcombe, Horne-Francis, Houston, Hill, Florent, Rowbottom, Duggan, Dale and Richards.

 

[Event Horizon]

That goal he kicked from the boundary after not receiving the 50m penalty was class. If only Sleevo kicked his from a similar position in the last, we'd probably have won the game...

One hander he took reminded me of Duck’s on Silvagni in 99.

Freak. It was effortless.

Very fluid action wasnt it. The talented blokes are just so lovely to watch. Its why Keith Grieg was so popular even with oppo supporters.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

What are people thinking with regard to his eventual place in the team?

Are we hoping that he can (along with Duursma) be that high HF mid? Or roll with him full time in the guts?

I’m personally hoping that once Kerch bulks up and gets stronger and we can rely on Wardlaw and LDU to provide sufficient ball-wining that he is plonked on the HF line and told to run riot.

Exactly the role he played on Sunday as a high HF mid. He’d do well in any position mind you but I think that role plays to his strengths best plus we already have a plethora of inside mids

Anywhere he is needed like Burgoyne was used by Clarkson at Hawthorn.

has to be in the forward half, have to exploit his dangerousness.

In the sobering morning light of a Tuesday morning, I am now admiring the Clarkson decision not to swing Sheeze back in the final five minutes and let the kids succeed or fail themselves.

Sheezel is so good that you put him in any position on field and he'll do well.
