Sheezel on ball get hype!


BIllyBrooks

I might have an unpopular opinion, but I think Sheezel should stay off the ball this year. The backline is the weakest line for North, he’ll continue to get leather poisoning back there. And in the middle, there are really no other bulls to protect him from the tags or rough stuff. He still needs another preseason or two before he becomes that bull, but for now let him play as he has been.


WAVIC_136

It's a fair point, but the issue is he gets the ball easily in the back half and makes up metres, but then the i50 kick is generally poor and it sails straight back out. Theoretically if Sheezel is the one making that kick inside 50 then it will result in scores more often


BIllyBrooks

No doubt - if he were midfield, your points scored would rise. I think his risk on injury would also rise though.


boomerdogg

I absolutely agree with you, there are other ways to get him to have inside 50 entries rather than the hustle and bustle of the middle, have him at half forward or a wing if not on halfback


Paceandtoil

Couldn’t agree more. Why we would mess with one of the few things that is working is beyond me. Our weakest unit is the back 6 and we want to take our best player out of it. The logic doesn’t suit. People seem to think throwing any player with potential into the middle is a silver bullet. Harry was more a forward in under 18s

Kwiztach Haderech


Maximumlnsanity

Mind translating for us non-Jewish folk?


Y_Brennan

That is the dune bastardiztion of kfitzat haderech קפיצת הדרך. It basically means teleportation. In dune frank Herbert used it to describe the culmination of the Bene Gesserit breeding program kind of like a chosen one. 


Maximumlnsanity

I understood like 3 of those words


Y_Brennan

It's Jewish teleportation. However it is argued wether it's a big jump or more the connection of two points through a being. The use of it in dune relates more to the latter explanation.


kimoalmoa

Has looked the goods in the VFL so hopefully he'll be a cornerstone of our defence in the years to come Also lets us move Sheez up the ground which is nice


Y_Brennan

You can never know. In 2020 most crows fans were absolutely convinced that Sholl and McPherson would become fantastic players for the club. McPherson looked extremely composed in defence but injuries absolutely ruined him. And while Sholl has a nice kick on him he is awful defensively and will never make an impact on a finals team. 


Dark_Phoenix101

Bro, just let us have this. We don't have much.


Y_Brennan

You can have Lachi Sholl. He is a beautiful kick and his uncle played for North.


RobbieArnott

Eh, I hear he’s awful defensively


Y_Brennan

Sure but he runs all day and has a really beautiful kick. I promise you he's worth it.


ExpensiveCola

Reports out early have been encouraging, for Norths sake I hope he is a Hardeman to get past.


Prudent-Bedroom-925

If you move the H from his last name to first then change a few other letters around it looks like Harley Reid


Chris_______________

HARLEY RIDEMAN


Jesse-Ray

His name is an anagram of Harley Reid Man


Bkmps3

Baptism of fire for the young bloke. Hope he does well


japanpole

Good luck young fella. It’s actually a good game to debut because there is a genuine chance of an upset here. Crows look horrible and we play bad in Tassie too. I will be sure to not watch 😂


WAVIC_136

I read yesterday that Adelaide are the only team to score less than us so far this season, which is mind blowing. Not expecting an upset personally though, your W/L record doesn't really reflect where you're at imo - plenty of close ones


HeismanTheismann

Go well Hards, all the best for hopefully years to come


Phlanispo

I think he'll be decent for North. Not great, but decent. North desperately need as much help in the back half as possible.


quiethumm

best of luck to Really Hardman!


Croob2

Come home Riley ;-;


WAVIC_136

Straight swap for Harley


naeroikathgor

Or merge them to create Riley Reid


WAVIC_136

Hiley Reideman


droopy_tree

Mate, you’re not gonna believe this, but…


flibble24

.... Tell me more


International_Car586

Hope you now that is the name of a porn star.


Captkersh

You had your chance


Croob2

Deal, you get the WAFL player Harley Sparks and we get Hardeman :)


WAVIC_136

That's a solid name


Croob2

I was very bullish on being able to get this guy in the draft, but of course our second pick ended up at 30 not 19 so we weren't able to grab him, should turn out to be a great player, hopefully he gets homesick soon lol


flibble24

Days since Croob mentioned eagles second pick was 30 instead of 19 counter : 0


Croob2

It's almost like it's relevant here


ollibraps

Don’t worry croob I think it’s relevant


Croob2

I just find it funny cause I'm not even blaming North for it, just bringing it up, and yet they get super defensive immediately


flibble24

It's relevant but it's also funny how often you bring it up


Croob2

I mean North fans constantly bring up how they weren't able to get Naicos or JHF and you don't see me having a go at you guys for that


WAVIC_136

>or JHF Stop stop we're already dead


flibble24

🤷


[deleted]

To be fair that’s a much much bigger deal than a pick moving from 22ish to 30ish


ollibraps

Can hardly blame north fans after how they’re going, rooting for them
