Harry out means im changing my tip to the dogs.

I don't see where our goals are going to come from given how poor our entire forward line is/has been at present.

I think you might have just got us over the line 🤞😇

IMO, you’d have to reasonably conclude that Harry’s off field issues played a part (big or small) in our average start to the season, especially the Richmond game.

Harry looked like he was in for a great season with his form in our intra club match sims.  He was demolishing whoever drew the short straw and had to play on him.  That form continued in the St Kilda game but he was subbed off after limited minutes.  The GWS game was much the same; a brief cameo that promised much.

Perhaps that limited game time reflected Harry’s issues rather than the club wishing to avoid unnecessary exposure to injury …

Idle speculation but when linked to his Richmond game and current unavailability 🤔

Hopefully, Harry will be getting the help and support he needs and can deal with whatever is troubling him.

My information is that Harry is dealing with a similar issue to Elijah Holland's.
We wish them both well, hope they getting the help they need and can get back doing what they love asap.
Go Blues.

The outs make sense to me, Lucas was physically spent and not able to run out the game last week while Cooper Lord has been way off the pace for the last 2 games, not a knock on the long term future of either lad.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

Yes, if you look past whipping boy and fan favourite status, those two outs make perfect sense.

Boyd complements and his ball use has to be an improvement.  I’m not sold on Evans but he does apply defensive pressure in the forward half.

Go through the entire list.
Rank them in order from most games played.
Pick the first 23 players that are not on the injuries list (or have personal leave)

Those 23 players are the exact blokes in the side.

So why?
Thats who we have available..

I believe that it’s a recurrence of Harry’s anxiety issues.  He has been working with the club trick cyclist since his mum picked up his changed character several years ago.  I doubt that he would have been at training if there was a substance issue.

Perhaps Elijah has anxiety issues too.

Just with regards to Harry.
It's all speculation.
As well as some of the reasons given I've also read it's a relationship issue.
So we really don't know.
Probably best to let it lie now, and hope he's back (and in good shape) sooner rather than later.

As Kruddler said we really don't have a lot of choices in our selections.
Boyd was the only player from the VFL I would have promoted.
White would have been my second choice.
And maybe we could have given Ben a taste as the sub, but really I think a couple of weeks in the VFL just getting a few games and maybe cleaning up some of that disposal is probably the best approach.
