He turned up to a training camp at Mt Buller arm in sling to do a hike with his team mates when he was told to stay home, said to the docs "She'll be right". H from all reports is a lazy assed lug with not much btw the ears and not much desperation or urgency. A 19 year old Harry Mackay wouldnt tie the same aged JK's boot laces. He needs to harden the fark up, put in or fark off. Patty Kerr on the other hand deserves a crack at AFL definitely, shown enough I reckon, he must be close. Yes big fellas take time but Its no surprise both twins are still languishing in the 2s and not showing much desire to get into the 1s. For all his faults, blokes like Jack at least crack in and have a dip for he jumper and his team mates. I cant see H doing that, I'll go as far to say that's one pick SOS looks to have got wrong.
GTC...JK was a hard worker and for sure has Harry covered for intensity etc....I dont know anything about Harry's work ethic etc or how bright he is.....Yep he does look lazy or laconic which ever way you take how he runs/contests etc but he does also have a lot of talent IMO and SOS must have done his due diligence on his mental approach to the game and off field stuff etc..
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..
