Senior Harris Andrews (2014-) (Co-Captain)

Perhaps the academy kids dont care aboutvthe testing too much. Their best chance to get into AFL is with Lions via academy, and we already know what they can do.

If they're happiest staying in Brisbane, perhaps they're told 'have fun at combine, but don't spook the horses or you could end up on Perth'.

More a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse, methinx.

Reserves Wrap - Gold Coast Suns - 04/04/2015 (Shane Woewodin's comments)

Played as a key forward and ruck. Probably spent too much time on his hands and knees on the weekend – that’s a big area of improvement for him. He just needs to have a bit more presence as a bigger type player, but certainly a learning curve for him this game and hopefully he’ll bounce back in Rd1.

Reserves Wrap - Southport Sharks - 11/04/2015 (Shane Woewodin’s comments)

Played as a key forward/second ruck to Archie. Took 10 marks around the ground. He didn’t go to ground this week, he kept his feet a lot around the contest which was really good. He didn’t look tired at all. He had a real presence as well – didn’t hit the scoreboard but certainly his assistance in the ruck was very good.

 

[BuntonRules]

Congrats on your selection, young man. Make the most of it. We will be cheering you.

His goal from 50m was the match highlight for me

 

[Milux]

I feel he deffinatly showed a few good signs on the weekend without being a standout. His goal from 50 was massive and he won a few ruck contests against the 'Mullet Man Maric' didn't win alot but won enough to think he has something to work with. I'd keep him in for this week against an extremely unmanned west coast defence. I could see a high scoring game from both teams if we get our shit together.

 

[jackess]

Looked pretty good. Similar to Dadsy pretty slow over 5-10 metres. Before seeing him debut I thought hopefully he'd end up as a defender and now I'm thinking ruckman who will rest forward.

Named in starting side this week - like any 1st year KPP it is only a matter of time before he goes back to the 2's to work on his game, but rated VERY highly by the club and those in the know.

 

[Lace Out]

One thing we need to do is play him all season unless he gets tired.

OK -- is it Harris Andrews Overdrive or the Harris Andrews Experience ?

 

[Last of the Roys]

In his first senior game as a defender, Andrews had a virtually unprecedented 3 contested marks among his 7 total marks. Both figures were equal best on the ground.

I have hardly seen any defender, let alone someone in his fourth game, be so confident about marking the ball under pressure.

Need videos of his marks, they were awesome

 

[Lace Out]

He's not always going to be in the best position so needs to learn how and when to put the big fist in.I think the still conditions under the roof suited him on the weekend.

 

[Ray Button]

With his build (!), he has the potential to emulate Fletcher.

In which case we should have him for the next 22 years! Better sign him on a longgggg term contract.

Either Leppa or Mick was pretty impressed

Gary O'Donnell (on SEN this morning) said that young Harris was a cross between Dustin Fletcher and Paddy Ryder

Heard that. Hard not to get a little excited by the kid. What makes it even more exciting is he's a QLD boy.

Great that we only used pick #61 on him

And every chance Liam Dawson will also be a steal at #44

Could end up with 3 steals when you consider the pick we selected Jaden McGrath with

 

[Lace Out]

Anyone know if Harris was a prolific plucker of marks in junior years.

What stands out at this stage is his ability to take a grab relative to his height.

Yep...we've had plenty of draft steals; but they have proved less valuable as we lose all our high draft picks after their initial contracts
