I get that it's just the sub and not really something we use with much strategy, but really don't think the logic is wrong. I get that yes he can come on and run the tired guys off their feet, but part of what makes Sharp a good player is his ability late in quarters. Naturally that is VFL level, but the same attributes aren't lost at AFL level. I'd just like to see him play wing.

Isn't it working backwards though? Because he's got the best endurance he shouldn't be the sub rather than he's just not good enough to be best 22?
He's still someone who can get busy around the ball and find some spark.
And he can use that endurance and run out the last quarter without any breaks and run the length of the field as required

In theory, yes. In practice? Based off what we've seen from Harry he takes time to work into games.

Might that be because running power doesn’t help anyone until late in games when others just can’t go anymore.
So him coming on as sub should actually be an advantage to him.
The biggest issue I see is that we still don’t overly see the wingers role as a game breaking role and tend not to use them when sometimes we should.
His biggest advantage would be to get back and help out in defence late in games which is something that we as Nuffies may not notice as much as we should.

I don't care. Happy to take that L if we can go undefeated for rest of the year

But you said it's just a part of his game. What's the other part?
It sounds like this has nothing to do with his endurance just that without it he's an average footballer which I don't think is the case anymore

If Sharp gets to start on the ground that's fine with me
Same applies if he is the sub.
He is obviously not considered best 22 yet, otherwise he would be playing regularly.
If he starts on the ground i hope he plays really well.
The more players playing well leading into finals the better.

I feel very sad about that, but I think you are right.
He was very close to cementing his place in the team at the end of last year.
But injury disrupted his preseason and he’s never got going this year.
It looks to me a lot like the Ben Keays situation.
I think he’ll blossom in a club where he can play AFL every week.
I just don’t think that club is Brisbane.
Such an important game this one, absolute must win, can not see us(or any club) winning the flag from outside the top 4.
Nightmare scenario- We finish outside top 4 and come up against the Hawks in an EF.
Dream scenario- 3 current top 4 sides stumble and we grab a home QF against Port.

We could still finish outside the top 4 even if we take care of the Pies and Bombers sadly.

Hear Pendlebury has been doing boxing training to improve his cheap shots as well

I heard he has a basketball background also.
It is a stain on the game that Jack Payne's Discus background is never mentioned.
I don't expect him to be at Brisbane next year tbh. The name of a player doesn't just randomly come up in the media as a player to keep an eye on unless their management has leaked it.I just don’t think that club is Brisbane.

Probably an act of desperation otherwise he's playing WAFL in 2026

Interesting. Earlier this season we beat the Dogs in Melbourne for the first time in 10 years to the day. Hopefully an omen...
