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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
