Bloody good effort tonight. Harbrow >>>> Brown.

Re: I love Harbrow

Harbrow's efforts tonight were just superb, his closing speed & his vertical leap make him a surprisingly good defender in the air.
Fantastic to see the young fellow really stand up on the big stage. He showed in last year's final series he is not overawed by finals pressure, and has really added to his stature as a player.

Played in the forward line a bit in the last, could this be a sign?

I don't think he's a forward at all though. Watching him play there tonight and having seen him play there on previous occasions he lacks two things that all small forwards need: Finishing ability (as in kicking the goal) and Goal Sense.

Harbrows strengths are his long passing, his intensity (never drops below 100%), his ability to shrug tackles and his ability to weave around opponents at high speed and break the lines by doing so. I would argue that last points his most dangerous ability, and would be wasted if he was up forward because he wouldn't have the space to do it. Keep him in defence for me.

And just as an aside, how good are his slingshot moves. He did a beauty tonight in the last quarter where he entered a tackle with the ball facing Brisbanes goals and came out at top speed going our way.

Re: I love Harbrow

Gutsy classy performance tonight, hope we see it again next week. Will he take Schnider and Callan Milne or vice versa?
Mmmmm

Re: I love Harbrow

great game from young fella, as Johno said after game his hardness at ball and bravery backing into JBrown inspired the boys.
Well done Jarred
Also Wardy, Picken and the likes

Yeah i think we need his daring in the backline against the Saints anyway. Really impressed me when he was going back with flight, saw big Brown but kept going. He did it a couple times. Who needs Callan.

That was brilliant in the last quarter, when he has the ball try not to blink otherwise you will miss it.

Re: I love Harbrow

The best thing about Harbrow is his commitment. If all of our players had his endeavour we would take the flag quite comfortably. He continually gets to marking contests to punch the ball on the wing when other players in the side might take the foot off the pedal and look to man up the player running past. The kid is a gem.

Re: I love Harbrow

Interesting that I made the call last week if Callan came into the side they could throw Harbrow forward. They did that in part of the last qtr and I liked his endeavour. Its good to have some contigency plans up there if we are struggling

I could not understand how he was not in the best in "The Age".

Re: I love Harbrow

Very solid game last night, and i liked him up forward too. Would love to see some more of it too, he is an absolute x-factor.

I would think that Callan would go to Schneider, Harbrow to Milne.

Schneider is a stronger body, therefore more suited to Callan. Jarrod 'Jazz-Hands' Harbrow can handle Milne comfortably.

Personally I think it would be the opposite. Milne is probably better in the air then Schneider and may have a few too many tricks for Harbrow. Schneider relies a bit more on his pace and agility where Milne can out body his opponent.
I would have
Schneider-Harbrow
Milne- Callan/ Hargrave

Re: I love Harbrow

While dangerous he didn't look like he could actually finish his work up forward. The manic way he runs when down back is great for evading tackles but he seems to lack that composure when he's head is going 100 miles an hour.

I thought his 4 bounce, 80msprint the other night and lace out bullet that hit the target was an amazing kick. Our rookie list has treated us well.
