He's just playing with you bud.
Wouldn't surprise me if this was the case though, especially after he appear to do his knee trying to crash a pack last week for a spoil.
Probably told to let the big boys fly.

I wish Gibney takes a leaf out of Reid's book on how to be composed with the ball.
One thing holding Gibney back is his composer with the ball. Just want to see Gibney this year improve on his decision making and take a little more time.

Never seen Rebeca Gibney play, is she an inside mid or small forward type?
Dunno but as a composer, I hope she makes good musicNever seen Rebeca Gibney play, is she an inside mid or small forward type?

Really strong tackler who is a little reckless like Yeoy at times. A few times last week and again this week he was lucky oppo players head didn't slam into the ground.
That said he is going to be a bloody good player. Holds onto the ball so nicely in congestion and draws defenders to him, then shoots off a handball to open up a team mate in space. Something that our other young guys Ginbey and Chess could really learn off.
Can not wait to watch him this year.

And the rebuild begins.

He eats up the space in front of him so quickly, and uses the ball very well, so I'd like to see a team directive where if he's free and running past they just give him the ball. Like Collingwood seems to do with Nick Daicos.
"CrowToon" eh?
Any relation?

Absolutely.

Think this is a pretty fair observation, don't see it as an overly negative thing either
Was noted in the gameday thread there were a couple of moments with the ball on the deck that it looked like he waited for a more experienced teammate to pick it up rather go himself
Whether it be just because it was a praccy game or more likely a coaching directive I don't think it will last once he realises he's going to be THE guy in this team very quickly.

I agree, i want to see us fly the flag more. God knows we've been lacking in that for a long time but it's good to see Harley knows what's to come and is up for it. A diamond only grows under pressure.
Hopefully we don't have to wait a billion years for a diamond to form.

Side got too used to NN ragdolling and physically intimidating 18 oppos at once and have gone soft.
It's a rule as old as footy, if some campaigner has a crack at your young team mates, you go fly the flag straight away, no hesitation.

I feel hypnotised
Don't you know? Harley is lab grown.
Yeah with us bringing in a younger list and a fair bit of top end talent, I wouldn't mind an actual enforcer around. A proper tough nut who has the opposition's respect.
So nobody in our squad currently.

Gov does it.
Gave a bit to Thillthorpe off the ball when he was roughing up Jamieson yesterday.
his arm size is about an inch too small to have coaches permission to go in for those ones.

You don't need an enforcer if all players got each others' back.
3 hyenas can smash a lion.
Just go in hard, no matter size. That Hewett/DeGoey thing was VERY piss poor...no remonstration, even after seeing the replay at the ground. Seemed like the players were scared of DeGoey*, (right or wrong, that's the perception), and laid down their arms...weak as.
*he wasn't even in the goalsquare, and pranced around like a king.
