Sounds a bit like what we said about Draper in his first few games….Love this kid. Like a lightning quick 2YO colt having his first start. What he does wrong just makes it more exciting. Huge talent.
Draper was/is far more enigmatic and inconsistent. Caddy has skill but lacks a bit of polish and experienceSounds a bit like what we said about Draper in his first few games….
Has great footy iqDoes a lot of really smart stuff for a young guy . Can run under the football a bit and makes a few brash choices at times but he is exciting.
Just has to remember to aim a bit more right with his set shots. Tends to miss left .

It must be challenging for a 19 year old to not get caught up in the fervour of 50 000 fans cheering and not get a rush of blood.So pro is he attacks everything in the air at a million miles an hour, with vigour and busts packs.
Con is he attacks things he shouldn’t at a million miles an hour and is all things told, not good for spacing at the moment.
Agree. So much to like. Wright will be on the list for a couple of years yet, so hopefully he felt a bit embarrassed by the kid last night. Maybe that might spur him along.4 or so games in he is great to watch. Crashing packs already. Great leap. Gets down and dirty on the ground when he needs to. Nice to watch a Key Forward with some aggression compared to Wright who seems timid at times.
i think he’s relishing the opportunity to play infront of crowds like this, iirc he was touted as having “some” attitude, right?It must be challenging for a 19 year old to not get caught up in the fervour of 50 000 fans cheering and not get a rush of blood.
My fear is that he will attack a contest he has no business in attacking and will injure himself in the process. Needs to develop a bit of composure.
As an aside, I think this has been Harry's improvement this year.
Except caddy is natural footballer with elite footy iq. Draper has zero footy iq and gets by on having some athleticismSounds a bit like what we said about Draper in his first few games….
