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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
