Quality player at North, played every game in 2012, only 3 in 2013, reportedly works very hard but can't break into the side

Might be keen on a few more opportunities?

    Has the same problem as a lot of our guys, he can't get enough of the ball and has no tank. Those problems probably go hand in glove.

    Yeah, maybe not the sort of player we are after then, i remember watching him in 2012 and thinking he might well turn out to be a very good player, but i suppose you don't lose your spot in the side for no reason.

    Remember watching him last year and thought he has X factor and speed to burn.

    Id sniff him out.

    Indeed, averages 8.9 disposals a game (personal best of 16) and under a goal a game.

    I'm fairly confident a spot on the senior list could be put to much better use.

    Doesn't he butcher the ball a bit too? I could be thinking of someone else.

    Fan of this bloke after a impressive year last year i was surprised he fell away this year playing VFL most of the year.

    Peoples thoughts on this should we chase him? would add some serious pace to our midfield.

    'Quality player' who managed 'only 3 games this season' conjure up serious doubts in my mind. Why would a quality player get so few games?

    Would 'marginal' player with 'some potential' be a better description?

    if we lose Sylvia then go hard for Harper. Like for like. Offer North trade of MFC pick 18 compo for Sylvia for Harper and NMFC pick 44.

    Kangas can then use pick 18 to then get Dal Santo.

    Very frustrated at what Brad Scott wants him to do in the ressies.

    Sorry, don't have much more - playing golf with my mate on Friday...see if he knows more.

    Keiran Harper has good pace, skills and loves kicking goals. Would fit in around Hogan, Dawes, Clark and Howe.

    Perfect replacement for Sylvia (likely to go).

    We must offer 3 year deal and give Nmfc draft pick around 18-30 mark.

    Well said..

    Harper's tank is non-existent.

    Completely incapable of running out a game.

    And the things he is good at, he's not nearly good enough at to make him a worthwhile prospect.

    I put his level of ability alongside a Tapscott.

    I already have a hard enough time trying to figure out what we'll do with him.

    It seems that the only Yarra boys to do any good are the boys at Port.

    Andy Moore is starting to really play well and Aaron Young is a much required player at his club.

    Blease, Gys and Harps have been left out in the cold methinks.

    NM have a far better track record for developing players than we do. He's a high draft pick who couldn't cut it in their system.

    Even with Paul Roos on board, it's still not very appealing.

    We have chatted to him I know Narny Grima from North and he suggested we have talked to him. I don't mind him .. not a high pick obviously but we need more pace around the ball. FWIW I watched a few vfl games he played in and he wasn't that bad. Just needs to slow down before he kicks it when he does that he hits a lot of targets.

    Awsome. Massive fan for some reason.. killer speed and x factor to go with. Would love him on a wing running up and down providing dash and creativity.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
