cam.noble1 31 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) This kid looks like he's already been in the league for 2 years and is looking insane. Harvey has to be the steal of the draft at 190 cm and already looks like he has a good amount of muscle to him. Hopefully he has a standout season like Caleb did in his first year and shows us that he could potentially be the next Christian Petracca. Edited January 29 by cam.noble1 Had to move image 6 7 Quote

Demon Disciple 12,537 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Agreed………….Nothing short of a Brownlow, B&F, Rising Star win & Norm Smith Medal in his first year will be seen as a pass mark in 2025. In fact, I’d be shocked if he hasn’t racked up Brownlow votes already. seriously though, no need to put any unnecessary pressure on him or XL. They’re only 10 weeks in to their careers. Patience. 3 15 2 Quote

Demon Jack 7,196 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I was at Gosch's yesterday and it was the first time I've seen him up close. I was super impressed with his work ethic and just how physically ready for a first year player. He outbodied some of his senior teammates and laid some absolutely bone crunching tackles. He was easily working his way to contests and there was period of around 4-5 minutes where he was accumulating disposals at will. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays forward early in the season, but I think he'll be a gun midfielder in time. 12 2 1 Quote
Deeko2 865 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Cripps/Green are the best comparisons - he doesn't have the explosive power of Petracca (as very very few do). I was super excited we were able to get him draft night. Strikes me as one of those lads who's just been born tough and will have no issue meeting the expectations of his hard nosed team mates. Very much a no-nonsense type and just a bloody good footballer with good skills from what I have seen. I think he'll start on the HFF as his marking prowess looks the goods with some solid sessions in the midfield. 8 1 Quote

No. 31 1,405 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I know the Blues were looking at him very closely and rated him highly. I agree that he will probably be in the mould of a Cripps rather than a Petracca. Time will tell though. He looks like one that will be ready to go now in terms of senior AFL football. The Dees did well with him. 8 1 Quote
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I have a great feeling about this kid, just seems like he could be an absolute beast and seems to have the competitive mindset (similar to Trac) - basing this off nothing other than the few videos/interviews posted around the draft and gut instinct. 6 1 Quote
