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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
