Welcome to the Kennel - Harvey Gallagher

[GVGjr]

Happy with this one and another nice selection for us.

I really rate Gallagher

[Happy Days]

That’s a really strong name.

Do we see him as a defender or a mid (winger?)

He could play as a defender, mid or forward. I liked the way he kicked the ball into the forward line.
I really don't know how we might best use him but when I did my 3 picks projections I thought he could be a Taylor Duryea replacement.

His last 6 games were off the charts - 44 touches as a back pocket is ridiculous.
Seems a real 'run with the ball' type in defence.

Like Butler and Cleary that type?

Probably closer to JJ/Harbrow based on nothing but a few minutes of highlights vision and a brief write up.

Aha thanks.

How's our midfield age profile looking now.

Getting on other than Smith.

Toby McLean is a pretty handy midfield recruit next year - but regardless, there's just something to 'like' about Harvey

We'll draft two in the first round in next year's deep draft. We're a lot more balanced after this year's draft. Just that 2nd ruck to get.

Agree with that - a bit of Ed Richards in his line-breaking and disposal.

Does anyone know what he's like as a stopper? We're missing that accountable small defender.

He can defend. Not an out and out stopper but can play that accountable role.

[The Doctor]

Love Kinnear Beatson. Taking no stupidity from the AFL Media and not giving a toss what anyone thinks of their strategy.

Man of the match!

[F'scary]

This guy has done some hard yards to get selected. That is a big positive. He is a run and carry type apparently, so could play HBF, wing or on the ball.
