His technique is poor so he'll never have reliable foot skills.
As far as his head space goes, if it's an issue at 27 after 80 odd games I wouldn't be expecting miracles.
He's done well for a low pick in the rookie draft but we'll need something better if we want to be a serious contender, we only got away with it last night because we were playing a bottom 8 side.

Yes, Levi has been on our list for several seasons, he's had 2 stints with Rocca, and we have to accept that the bad Levi will always be there. I can't see any aspect of his game improving - if the club isn't happy with him now, then it's never going to happen. He definitely does good things, but those are countered by................. well, we're just going around in circles here.

Selection for R14 will definitely be interesting although Levi may be the default due to others not being ready/available.

And on a side note, the only forward in our team that allows me to relax and uncurl my toes is Matty Wright. When he's having a shot, I know we'll be ok. The others, Levi, SOJ, CC, and some of our cameo goal kickers (e.g Murph, Gibbs etc.) all give me the willies.

For mine the acid is right on young Harry to replace him.
Harry needs to debut with casboult in the team and I reckon he will do so in the next 4 weeks (all at the g)

Yeah GIC I watched the first QTR only. For mine he had intent and good effort. I noticed a few times he led and was ignored or they didn't see him. I don't think it was a good day for our forwards.
I listen to the Carlton show podcast and the thought process there is he will be better in the 1s than the twos, but selection needs to be consistent and he needs to put in at least one strong game in the next month to get in.

We are, I'm only trying to inject a dose of reality into the discussion.
Most of us fully realise that a key forward is an urgent priority and in the absence of one we indulge in wishful thinking about Levi, it's understandable but it won't win finals.

I don't think it was a good day for our forwards.The thing that stood out for me was that when our two ruckman went down, Kerr went into the ruck (and I used that phrase loosely as the poor kid was clueless) but Harry didnt. I imagine they were protecting him from being knocked around, I guess thats more proof that he has a long way to go. He landed on his back/buttocks and limped off. Hope it was nothing serious as he needs come continuity to develop.

He shows undoubted talent but not consistently.
He's 50/50 in my opinion and to be on the safe side we should be looking at all the available options.
