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."

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
