Give Harry a go - bobby - 03-26-2018
:-\He's in his third year now (though his first he was probably never destined to play). Looking at Casboult on the tv the other night, it looks like he's peaked and won't be the focal point we need him to be. If Harry is fit and strong he needs to be in so we can find out if he is any good, and we need to persist with him for a while. Give him a six game run and see what he does. He gets his chance and (hopefully) he is on the end of better delivery so he can shine.
I've no ideas about his second efforts , work ethic etc.
thoughts?

Um I just saw that McKay came up in a different thread recently. Same point was being made. Sorry for the double up.

No problem...Let's run it as a separate thread for a couple of days.
See whether other folks have an opinion.
For mine...I'd like to see him play a game or two at VFL level and get a bag or two before we promote him. When we do I agree that he should be given a string of games (4-6)
However if Kreuzer doesn't come up we may find he's in the side

He needs to show some form at VFL level I think, he's done nothing at this stage to justify getting a game. I really hope he kicks 4 or 5 a couple of weeks in a row and starts knocking the door down to get a game!

I was in favour of keeping him in the team despite his poor performances in the JLT games. However, I’m more than happy to concede that Bolts and co are much better judges of where Harry is at and what is best for his development.
I thought Casboult did OK on Thursday in keeping Rance relatively quiet and stepping up when required to shoulder the ruck duties. I don’t think Harry is anywhere near taking on those burdens.
I wouldn’t mind Harry getting a run in the first 22, provided that he earns his place and is playing alongside Levi rather than instead of.

Yeah and Gary Ablett did okay keeping Steven Silvagni quiet in the 1995 Grand Final.

Kerr has started to show something at VFL level, however is not yet ready for promotion. Harry McKay likewise has shown glimpses but not anything consistently.
Kerr could play as a second tall and offers run and pressure inside 50, Mckay is more ruck relief if not playing forward, I just don't think he's physically ready for that yet at AFL level.
What do others think?

That's right up there with some of your great pearls of wisdom MBB
For the record, Rance had 15 disposals and 3 marks. That's significantly below his averages, particularly with his marking which, as I'm sure you know, is his strength. Casboult had 10 disposals, 4 marks and 19 hitouts. I'd call that a win for us
Re: Give Harry a go - madbluboy - 03-26-2018
Casboult had one disposal inside 50, Rance gave him a bath.
