I hope Harbrow gets a a heap of votes in the Brownlow.... The should add some extra influence for us to get a round one draft pick for him.
Break a leg Harbrow.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
I don't wish him any harm, but I would be glad to see his form drop right away. It also looks like he will not be ready to go at the start of the season (major shoulder surgery)
I hold all these thoughts/feelings towards him:
- Not angry at him leaving, I can understand it logically and emotionally. Money being an issue doesn't mean it is the main issue.
- Bitter that we were the ones to give him a go/having to be rookie listed thing but more bitter at the circumstance than him directly. Some bitterness towards him too though.
- Upset we have lost him because he is a gun and on the up
- Really, really hope he fails. I don't hate him but him succeeding will make the loss greater. Even if he is/was 100% pure in leaving, even it it is/was the right decision for a good man to make, it hurts the club. In this element I could not care less about whether he is right or wrong, I just want him to fail as it minimises the loss in my mind.
So overally Jarrod, I understand why you left and don't blame you but I hope your career crashes down and burns from hereon in.
I don't like to share...just kidding, excellent choice.
It's sad to see Harbrow leave, but I've been preparing myself for it for months. I'm a bit torn- I don't begrudge him wanting to go home to his family etc. but I'm just so annoyed that we found another really special player through the rookie list, only for him to leave before we see him at his best. I don't wish him success at GC, but I don't wish him any harm either.
I'm just happy it was him and not Griffen or Cooney, to be honest. Harbrow is replaceable.
I hope he wins the brownlow next year to go along with a whole heap of spoons. I also hope the Gold Coast fail miserably and fold within a few years (the AFL won't let it happen but who cares I'm hoping here).
Personally, I won't boo Harbrow at games but I also won't begrudge anyone who does. As far as I'm concerned he's not quite Nathan Brown but he is the enemy from now on.
