    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

    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.

    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!!!

    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."

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
