Player Watch #34 Harry Armstrong

[lalorGOAT]

Gun.

 

[tiger_tough]

Showed some resilience in the 2nd half, good stuff.

 

[fargothegreat]

Great to see him get some reward for effort in the last quarter.

 

[tunksy]

2nd half it started to click, found his timing with his marks.

Blight coming forward certainly helped. (was a good move to try too)

 

[THE_GUN]

He has it this boy

Will be a beast in 3 years time and a hard player to matchup

 

[Vassp]

he has something this kid.....going to be a great assett

Wait for another 2 years in the gym. and more games expierence.

Odd kicking action but who cares when it goes gun barrel straight. If you guys love the bash and crash types like Armstrong, you'll love Faull as well, he's got some real mongrel in him. Armstrong and Faull will make many a defence nervous in the coming years.

 

[dorianyates]

My favourite pick from 2024 draft. Obviously not number 1 but I would have taken him at 7. Was spewing when they took Faull first.

 

[Coach_Required]

If we thought Faull was worth a higher pick than this kid I'm really looking forward to seeing these 2 play for the next decade.

I think the kicking action is deceptive. He looks like he has a very high ball drop, which is associated with poor kicking technique. But he doesn't lift the ball high then drop it, rather he guides the ball onto his boot with good technique, just from a height. He gets his head over the ball too, he doesn't fall backwards as he kicks it like many players with high ball drops tend to do.

He is going to find it tough against good key defendrs in his early years, but you could see there today, if they give him the slightest latitude he will make them pay very quickly.

 

[The Mighty]

Looks good, as does Fawcett. Then there is Faull to come and Simms...............Might have to sack Lunch after he breaks the 100 and we get father son rights.

 

[tiger_tough]

How good is his field kicking for a big man? Jeremy Cameron like.

 

[wegetpumped]

That was the making of this kid. All he needed was some confidence now he knows he belongs.

 

[voorhees]

true highlight was Harry's last quarter.
presented, marked and kicked 2 ( nearly had 3)
great injection of confidence for the young kid - now to build on it

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Cant believe this kid fell to pick #23
Considered the best KPF prior to the draft and Richmond just take him with a bunch of rubbish picks 32,42,43,45

Harry Armstrong is our next 500 goal foward

But we gave up to much too the Lions they said.

Yep can't wait for the Armstrong/Faull show in full flight.

 

[tigs2010]

Should have had 3 with that snap he missed in the first. Competed hard to the end and looks like he belongs.

Lets just consider Harry Armstrong was a father Son and we just matched a pick #4 bid by a club and got him with Rubbish picks

 

[THE_GUN]

Gun.

You called

 

[lizard man]

I’m super impressed with this guy

Part of taking Faull so high, besides us loving him is Sydney wanted him with their pick.

I really believe thats why we took him at the pick and we rated Faull as the best KPF and would likely have not been available at our next pick sydney were touted as being the club that was most interested

 

[CLFC23]

Could get rising star nom this week, none of the others have been that good. Main danger is Lindsay right now and need to wait and see how Reid goes.
Ashcroft had 17 but zero impact.
