I looked at another lazy player with not much between the ears today in Jake Stringer and he kicked 4 goals for Essendon and won them the game, now I'm not saying you want a team of lazy bums who might get away with taking short cuts but if their talent is sufficient to win you games of football I am happy to extend the boundaries of the culture to fit them in.
We dont know if Harry is that good yet but I'd like to play him to find out before we fark him off.....

Its a bit like Ed Curnow IMO, Ed is a great trainer/role model etc etc but Sidebottom and Higgins have slaughtered him these past two weeks and been BOG.....its great how Ed presents every season and how hard he tries but the facts are honest triers/good clubmen can only take you so far and a lazy player with more ability can take you further....you need a balance and we lack genuine talent so Harry needs trialling IMO..

Clearly there is something he isn't doing, we dont know what is is, the MC do however, he knows it and the rest of playing group would know it. When you set a culture where games must be earned (albeit slightly different KPIs/criteria for different players), you cant make exceptions. Are we screaming out for a KPF? My bloody oath we are. Is the coach itching to get him into the side? My word he is. He isnt playing for a reason, watching him today I can see why. Mate if he gets a call up and lights it up or even just contributes, or throws some weight around, I will be as happy as a pig in s h i t, for him and for the club. All I am saying is I will back the club in on his non selection ATM. Take Weiters for example, not setting the world on fire but the MC are backing him in, why is that do you think?

To do that deal would probably cost one Weitering, a Williamson and say a Polson, or a couple of Kerridge types.

I'm pretty sure i've heard them prefer to play against eachother though.

Haven’t heard anything about him.

McKay said on his Tuesday injury rapt about 2 weeks ago he was a test. Did he play today?

We got him at a discount because he was damaged goods, and everyone on here can't accept that this might be the case.  He'll come good eventually but Geelong only traded him because their time is now and Lang is set to have a poor 2018.
