Highlights package looks top notch, but I worry that these moments are few and far between.

He's not a high accumulator of possessions. They say if you can't find a lot of the footy in the juniors, it'll be a hell of a lot harder to do it at AFL level (Stephen Hill is an exception).

Do flashes of brilliance make up for him not getting a lot of the footy?

Some people have issues with Bennell being anonymous for large parts of games.

Neither is Billie Smedts, going on his u18 carnival form. I'd rather a Brodie Smith or a mid that fell, over a Harper or Smedts. But i'd love a KPF most of all.

Yeah, I agree, but to me Smedts looks like he could move & become quite an accomplished AFL midfielder.

I don't see the same in Harper.

He'll be the archetypal enigmatic half forward, if he comes on.

I guess Didak & Steve Johnson aren't exactly spuds...

Sam Blease was a similar type to Kieran Harper in a lot of ways.

Some of his plays in the national championships were actualy scarily good. But he only averaged 12-14 possies a game.

With Blease, Bennel and Bail as overside speedy finishers, would someone steady and skillful be preferable (Smedts/Heppel/Smith type)

I think in the champs we saw Blease do fantastic thInge through pure attack on the ball & workrate.

I haven't seen quite the same in Harper.
