Harry is a Premiership player at Collingwood. Has been a very good player for a very long time. All clubs have all sorts of personalities mixed together.
With the benefit of hindsight we still would have drafted him.

Harry and Seeds are close mates at the club
From an interview on the Collingwood website earlier this year
http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2013-01-27/the-sunday-qa-paul-seedsman
Doesn't shock me that Harry is a high performer on the track.
Most of the time, in my experience, the types of people like Harry (a little different) tend to really take an interest in their colleagues and work their guts out.

No it hasn't. The rift was secondary to his personal issues.
What !! ...... and spoil all the fun ..
Yes and now its been healed as it was a temporary blow up over a minor matter and the true story has come out which more relates to O'Briens well being rather than a political split at he club.
Thread needs to be closed as the story has evolved. or at least renamed.

Which means there is no rift
Agree with Timmy the thread should be closed - very personal area right now and even listening to him on radio you can hear the emotion and anxiety and there is no need for the continued "comments" regarding his character on these boards.

Well then this thread is still relevant and topical and a new thread would be appropriate for Harry's demons.
This thread has run its race and a new thread would be appropriate for Harrys demons.
The rift does not exist.

Agree, & having had some experience with people working through the issues Harry is clearly struggling with, any further threads should not be allowed at this time as theres no point speculating on this here.

The real issue in all this is Seedsman. Being the first lesbian to play AFL must be tough.

So Seedsman is called "Lez" because he has short hair? How childish. Footy clubs really are weird places.

I hope that Harry gets the help he needs and I'm sure his football club will provide him the adequate support that he needs. I also hope that those who have made disparaging remarks regarding his character based on pure fabrications invented by certain media bottom feeders re-assess their propensity to believe everything they read in tabloid rags.
I dont see why the thread should be closed.
The rift was initially denied which proved to be a falsehood.
We cant therefore trust that the rift is healed when the same people are involved.
He has now made a fool of himself with the coach, after he stabbed the president in the back when he was most vulnerable.
These are icons of the club he has messed with, not boot studders.
Even the most forgiving could see there is still the potential for more tasty tit bits in this story.
No need to "move on" just yet and allow the story to be hosed...might be an idea to keep the door slightly ajar right now. Afterall there is actually no guarantee he will ever play for the pies again. Hope for his sake he isnt now simply seen as a disruption.

That Harry was a sook, needs to harden up, is precious, soft, etc.
This place is worse than most gossip sites.
