Welcome to the Kennel - Harvey Gallagher

[Mofra]

Joe Richards went at pick 48 to Collingwood.

Joe Richards? Pfffft

Poor club's Harvey Gallagher

[Twodogs]

Is he the first Harvey we've had since Harvey Stevens who played in the 1954 Premiership?

Yes, I think so.
I was thinking of Koby Stevens

Hopefully his grandkids don't coincidentally lose their mobiles in future like Steven's.

[The Doctor]

Good luck Harvey, hope to see you in our next premiership team real soon.

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

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.

Aha thanks.

How's our midfield age profile looking now.

Getting on other than Smith.

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.

Can see him on a wing / Taylor D replacement down the line, back our developers to develop him into what we need.

Yep - I am hoping we rookie someone with ruck potential

[Scorlibo]

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.

Very impressive run of form late in the season and even more impressive testing at the combine. Add in leadership qualities and I think this is a terrific pick.

Welcome Harvey, go well.

What leadership qualities? Has he captained a team or shown leadership qualities? TYIA.

Welcome to the Dogs Harvey!

“In his last five NAB League games he averaged 34.2 Disposals and 170 SuperCoach Points per game”

Then blitzed the state combine.

Fair push to get drafted!
