I want to contribute to this hilarity but I'm stumped.

hold on I will bail you out

 

Harry might be able to bowl a googly, but he was outclassed all year by Billy Wilson at Stingrays and some very good moments in Vic Country.  Kid won Stingrays B&F, #6 for Coates League, played all Vic Country games, made team of the year.  Sure he is not a top 10 draft pick but I'm surprised he is not getting more recognition than Harry De Mattia.

Wouldn’t be overawed when he enters the G in front of a big crowd having done that already 

And interstate clubs would all have to say no as he seems to like his mum. 
 

Highlights reels being just that, he looks super quick off the mark and did not miss a target.

Reminds me a little of he who shall not be named

Good to see Harry2 getting another couple of overs.

You mean use his 'natural' hand? (funny how some lefties use their right - Ooze for one?) Or do you mean that hand-cup over the front of the ball?

He lowers his eyes nicely though. Something often cried out for here...

If he’s from Edi-Asp it’s a no from me.

Thats from the homeland of one Trav Johnstone.... so i see your point. 


Great highlights his disposal is excellent and has great depth with his kicking probably will be judged too small.

I for one would pick him at 42, if he was still there.

Not quite, Trav is from my club of Chelsea although these days he coaches Bonbeach Under 12 boys but do see him at a few Chelsea games. Local rivalry aside it’s more the culture of Edi-Asp. They are not a particularly well liked club down this way and with good reason. He is deservedly nicknamed  Travis Bongstone, everything you have heard about him is probably true.

Edi-Asp was also the home of Stan Alves as I recall.

It looks weird. It's like he throws it softly in front of him rather than pushes it straight down to the ground.

 

Looks to me like something that won't withstand the rigours of senior football.


We can grab Harry in 2030 when Clarry moves to the forward pocket.  Similar type.  Inside mid. Contested footy. Burst from the pack. Quick handball. Disposal needs improvement!!!

Chances for bounces not huge there anyway!😄

Disposal looked pretty good to me. Found some tight targets. Lowers his eyes.

Yes in the highlights. Wider viewing suggests inconsistency and sometimes hacks it. In fairness in winning the contested footy, he’s under pressure.

I think there is if you are as quick as Harry is.

I particularly liked this part from that same.article...

..."I've been fortunate enough to captain Stingrays and Vic Country this year, so it stems from a young age but it's more about being selfless."

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
