Honestly, i don't know if i'd want Harry back in this week.
Give him an extra week just for $hits and giggles.
Kemp+McGovern worked well together - 9 goals between them is about as good as you could hope for.
I pretty sure H will be back if fit, but it tells us something about our ball use and decision making. When we make H the default we are too predictable, we almost need to be without him for a few weeks to break the habit. Then bring him back as a genuine option alongside the others.

Big Harry can't kick goals anyhow and can't hold a one-grab mark up forward so maybe he should play mainly in the ruck - except at centre ball-ups because he would be bound to get hurt.  At least it would be something different.

Form versus ability is a tough thing to debate, when H was snapping around the corner goals from outside 50m a couple of years back he was the bees knees, now he's struggling.

We shouldn't forget what a confident and in form player is capable of, he's bigger and stronger now, he has lost no pace, and is hardly even perhaps never out marked. We need him with his head on straight and chock full of confidence, any club would.
