#23 Harrison Jones

Dodoro has good connections with calder and continues to maintain a good relationship with them plus Eyre and Brand were important players to bring through the academy as well.

As if you couldn’t like the kid any more. When you’ve got someone who want to play for the club that much, it’s no surprise they play as well as he has.

Yep - the kid of the guy he hugged just turned 16. James’ powers knew no bounds.

It’s this sort of psychotic commitment that we have been missing for a couple of decades now.

Ahem. Hooker locking himself in his house so he couldn’t be traded.

Not psychotic enough

He times his leap so well and doesn’t stand where he is going to mark the ball like the gorillas.

This Allows him to protect the space where he wants to mark the ball, take those last three steps to jump at the ball with momentum, and take it at the highest point. A smart player.

It’s awesome to see all the things that made him an impressive prospect in his draft year start to translate at AFL level and so quickly aswell. I’m pretty proud of my summary on him and looks to be quickly working on any queries I had on him.

It is such a good assessment of him it seems retrospective.

You identified everything from his leap timing, his defensive efforts and even his ruck work which I saw him win an impressive hit out this weekend and made me stand up and take notice.

Amazing scouting report mate. Very very good.

BUT

Draft range 20-35

Lift your game fella and hit the lid off button :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

(Turns out you were 100% right on his draft range)

Also, down to important things. Is it too early to discuss Harry’s height?

Is he 204cms yet?

When you watch that you realise how much onset brain damage BT has now.

This young man is going to be a star. He will make a name for himself.
Watch this space…Harry has arrived and he’s coming…

The most important take away from that interview was he called Whateley ā€œGeraldā€

Goodness this boy is exciting.

Yep. It’s also good to know that even if he isn’t getting the ball, he is likely running a defender into the ground and could pop up late

I had to check the edits to make sure there were no shenanigans. :wink:

Fantastic summary.

He’s everything Mitch Brown was (endurance, accuracy)… plus he can clunk.
