Interesting to say but we miss Levi. May have been a jack of all trades, master of none, but having a 2nd ruck, who can ruck competently, mark around the ground and hit the scoreboard will be handy. Harry is probably the one who could play a similar role, part of it an upgrade (Levi might have been a better actual ruck, hence "part").
Levi's played some good footy the last 2 years, possibly his best footy, and free from the jinx of having a navy blue jumper on him (haha), kicking way better at goal.
Harry needs to go to the 2's and monster the VFL. It worked with Weitering all those years ago. He went down played against Frankston, took about 20 intercept marks, and it sorted out his AFL form.
I wager, that Harry going down will cause a few things.
1. The crap free kicks he tries to play for would start to vanish from his game at AFL level and he would start keeping his feet in contests more.
2. He would start to sort out his goal kicking because the wind conditions in the open VFL parks, would force him to work out how to kick the fecking thing straight.
3. He might bust a VFL game open kick 10, and then come back into the AFL and rediscover his goal kicking form. That game vs West Coast was a worry. We scored a cricket score and had a key forward only kick 2.1. Sure, Charlie got 9, but these two should have had 6 each at the end of the game.
