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.

Needs to learn how to bounce the ball properly

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...

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.

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

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.

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."

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
