Nat Exon was a favourite of mine, and many really, and will be tough to replace.
Jakobsson is an excellent mark, but an average kick. Our 'female casboult'. I think she is a bit older too IIRC.
Bella Ayre gave us some good moments but has a lot of limitations for the long term. Speed, endurance and overall athleticism is lacking in comparison to Harris.
So basically, Harris is a big upgrade up forward on Ayre/Jakobbson. It gives us the best 1-2 forwardline in the league with Vescio. We already have the best defender in the league (Davey) and upgraded that area with Stevens, B+F winner from Collingwood. Giving us the best 1-2 backline in the league.
Our midfield stocks are not too shabby. Sarah Hosking is a better version of Nat Exon, and hopefully getting her twin sister Jess back from injury provides the cover we need there.
Put money on us to win the flag now.
