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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
