            Still got caught a couple of times - but that's partially because of not having good options upfied + around him.
            Other than getting caught he is a fantastic little footballer.

                Very true but this was pick 21.

                    Hrovat wasn't a real early pick. Takes the game on, skilful and a good decision maker.

                            I count Smith and Talia in this as well.

                                        I prefer the Sam Mitchell comparisons!

                                            Me too. I associate Harvey too much with sniping, whingeing and diving.
                                            I should leave it alone but you're not right

                                                True. But he's their best player since Carey.

                                                    We've done extremely well with most of our picks, early and late. I'd love to buy the entire recruiting team a beer at season's end.

                                                        He went out of his way to train with Hrovat multiple times last year just to help the kid out. Doesn't sound like a bad bloke if he's doing that just to help a kid out.
                                                        Lachie Hunter trained with them once too IIRC.

                                                            His last two weeks his had -

                                                            - an excellent contribution as a sub for nearly a half
                                                            - and then an excellent full game performance

                                                            Looking forward to seeing if he can put in another good game (hard for young players, especially on a 6 day break - but he's a very good kid).
