    Re: I love Harbrow

    He is really putting the acid on DFA and Callan to fight to get a game.

Hutchy was saying that he has made the difference to the bulldogs backline, giving them another avenue to run the ball out of the backline, rather than just Gilbee or Griffin, which had become a bit predictable. (I think he must have read that on here)
      Don't want to take one ounce of praise away from Jarrod, but I find it interesting that because he plays an obvious eye catching role the lazy media jump all over him and almost ignore the terrific drive and pin point supply Shaggy has been providing for most of the season and especially last night. The current predictable feature of our backline is that who ever gets it, the ball will be rebounded quickly and with precision.

      IMO Jarrod has added a bit more dash, especially in heavy traffic, while DFA and Timmy offer a bit more grunt admittedly in different ways.

      Early this year I was happy to have both in our best 22 but Jarrod's development has enabled our defence to have an even more attacking focus and DFA and Timmy's games will need to develop extra dimensions.

        The funny thing is, Harbrow started in defence because we lacked other options. Callan was injured at the time and we didn't have anybody else to play on the quick small forwards. Harbrow has had a fantastic season and he's been far too good to move back to the forward line.

        It's a credit to him.

        Harbrow/Gilbee/Hargrave are working together really well.

            Probably his best game in a Bulldogs jumper. Was absolutely outstanding tonight.

              Very highly. Great attacking runs, poise, hands and delivery
              BOG for mine
              If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                Most improved player this year for us IMO. Been fantastic with his run, carry and precision skills.

                    Love the speed he brings to the side, has real pace to burn.

                      was fantastic below the knees last night...has really taken his game to another level. Confidence is growing each week. His attack on the ball is second to none.
                      I will never see #16 the same!!

                        Love his attacking positive way he takes on the game. Best form of defence is attack and he is a beauty. Add a few running goals of the HBF and we have a superstar.

                          Jarrod did some absolutely outstanding things last night, very impressive, he continues to add new tricks to his bag. I had doubts about this guy last year, I am so glad to be proved wrong. He is absolutely cemented in our best 22. Congrats Jarrod.

                            Since going down to BP he has learned so much so quickly about decision making and finding his way through heavy traffic. Add that lovely kicking and speed and he releases Gilbee to move further up more often. A revelation since his first couple of games down back. Should be heaped with congratulations for last nights effort.

                              Is fast becoming a topline Afl player. Give it a couple years I think we have a Wirrapunda on our hands. Best game for the club easily. Probably BOG or at least BOG in a doggies jumper. (Black may have played a better game) Great move by Eade to put him in the backline. Been providing the run and carry that we got glimpses of in the Geelong final last year.

                              Most improved player by a fair margin.

                                Should be interesting how he fairs next week. Geelong dragged him deep and kicked goals on him last time with Stokes and co getting hold of him in the air. He has improved since then but I am sure they will try this again given his form.
