Welcome to Demonland: Harry Sharp

[mo64 5,839]

After 3 years of recruiting ageing rejects from other clubs, we finally get a young player with upside. Sharp will hopefully be getting a game ahead of the likes of Billings and Spargo. Welcome Harry!!!!

[layzie 33,716]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

Think pick 49 is fair.

[DubDee 25,402]

The irony is Fullarton would probably get a game for the premiers next year if he was still there

Daniher was their most important player. Now they have Hipwood as their main target

Just get the feeling he's going to play on a wing and Langdon might move into the ANB high half forward role

Or Langdon and him on the wing, and Windsor more through the middle of the ground?

Welcome aboard Harry Sharp glad that you chose the Dees looking forward to seeing your extra pace out on the G once you have earned your spurs. Four years in the Lions system so should fit in well with our young brigade.

I'd love to try Caleb at half back too. In a quarterback role.

I think he'll be a good addition for many years to come.

Quarterback?

This is not the USA

Surely he would have chosen a destination club?!

Clearly right at hone here on D'Land?

Other than running the 2km in a record time what are his other attributes, does he have a big kick or smart he user of the ball or does he tackle and harass like a mad man

Is sharp quick? Or just big tank?

I know he has the record for the 2km but not sure what that says about explosive and short distance sprinting ahha

Can he actually get the ball? It’s fairly important in footy !

On ya, Dingo.

The industry has used the term quarterback for quite a while now...

The Club's just got to get Kelli 'Mozzie Kozzie' Underwood into its media team now.

[WERRIDEE 5,423]

I wonder if he could get a game straight away. They might be a bit shy in playing 2 kids straight away. McAdam is also a chance of getting in the team.

Interesting idea.

If it pans out that way, would perhaps explain langers spending a big chunk of the second half of the season at HFF given they would have known nibbla was leaving.

Welcome to the Demons Harry Sharp!

Great to hear he is a super fit running machine.

Hopefully we focuses on improving his kicking during the Pre-Season too.

I thought he played wing most of the second half of the year and started rhe year at half forward? I could be misremebering, but that's my memory of a season to forget.

He's got the hair to hold his own with Ed and Caleb.

VFL stats show he was consistent through the year without starring particularly in any certain game.  His stats show a higher kick to handball ratio, offer relating his more outside run and carry role.  Sounds good to provide another link type player. Pick 54 is enough in exchange for Sharp.  

Great news…welcome aboard Harry 👏👏👏

He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve.
Elite endurance.  Run and carry and kick type of player.  Can play the ANB type role.  Been behind some high quality players at Lions. Move to the Dees should give him the opportunities he needs.

Played half forward against Carlton and a few other teams about 1/3rd of the way in to the year. 

Played wing in the second half of the year when Nibbler was often needed on ball.

I hope we have more freedom and flexibility through games and week to week based on match ups. And can see Sharp, Kolt, Chandler and maybe others on the wing. In addition to Langdon and Windsor of course.
