I remember when we drafted him Jason Taylor got asked why we would take him when had plenty of tall backmen. JT said when "a jet" is available at your pick you take them regardless.

Liked his highlight reel from Day1 and nothing that he has achieved so far is less than that evidence.

Many good games ahead for the No 35 and he could easily join our 4 AA s on our list!!

We are  just wild about Harry!!!

Reckon this bloke can be an All Australian in three or four years.

Great contested mark. Tough. Great spoiler.  Good disposal especially kicking. Will become  a better handballer with more experience.

Incredible talent identification by our recruiters.

 

as well as a quadruple premiership defender

Well done to Petty for signing on.

Don’t want to rail road the thread but I am intrigued to see what will happen when Tommo is ready and challenging for his spot in 2022. He is a great bloke and will be pushing hard for another tilt. 

Can we play a d50 with May, Lever, Tommo and Petty? With Salem, Bowey Rivers to round at the d7?

Hunt and Pig will also put constant pressure on for their spots and we have J Smith who can also play a good lock down role on a mid-size athletic type. Declase in development as well. 

Such a great arsenal of defensive options and we proved this year that we can cover  2 and possibly 3 starting 6 defensive injuries.

Reckon you could but you'd need a quick player instead of Brayshaw on the wing to balance things out a bit more ideally.

We name 7 defenders normally but not 4 KP types inc Lever.

We have Turner also who May improve.

Hibbo can play either small or medium or sort of tall say Rohan or Briochek perhaps snd say Martin and Cameron.

Lever  proved vs Geelong in Prelim if he plays well and keeps the troops accountable we can play with Petty taking over Mays role. But in 2022 we will have Tommo available also most of the year.

Don't think we need worry about Gus  he covers ground  very well snd stays  on his wing like Langers to help out defence and forwards.

We will still be very strong for 4/5 years in the backline I believe. L
