I'm just loving the way the Big H is going about it at the moment.

Most improved player on the list and fast becoming a crucial cog in the back line.

Keep it up Harry its bloody beautiful to watch.

Kept the most dangerous small forward in the game to 1 goal, I'm stuffed if I know how Brad Johnson got 21 touches

But Harry killed him....Along with Maxwell easily our most umproved player in 07.

He moves so well!
Sticks to his opponent like glue thanks to speed, balance and a seamless change of direction.

Nibble enough for the smalls & strong enough for most talls!! A real asset for our defensive half is Harry!
Having said that, i'm pretty sure he kicked a goal or maybe 2 in his first few games?!?!?! From memory one game V the Roos at the Dome he set the crowd alight after taking them on through the middle & kicking a running goal!!!!!

Love the H Bomb!!

Harry kept the smiling assassin to 1 goal all day and by late in the 2nd quarter Johnno (for the Dogshit) ran into the centre to get hes kicks! Harry you are someting special and we all hope you can keep up the good work and remain at the CFC as a long term back man along with Clemo, Shaw and Maxwell!

Come on Pies, you will have the support up at the Gabba next week so use it and lift. Great game yesterday boys, we lost because we stopped running, thats all, plus we had to drop one sometime!

totally agree. A really good find for us, especially as we dumped J Cloke and Wakesisn't getting any younger.
Go you good thing Harry.

Thats exactly right. His strength as a player comes from the fact that he is both quick enough to stay on his man, but is actually freakishly strong which allows him to spoil his man, put him off balance, and break his way out of tackles.

You watch Harry's arms when he gets caught next. A tackler wraps him up (pretty well) and Harry just goes "bullshit" and rips his arms free and handballs to a teammate.

Its a lethal combination having his speed and 'nimbleness' combined in the one player who is also so great one-on-one.

Im actually starting to think of Harry as our new "go-to" man for dangerous forwards. When Fev got the better of Presti in the first half last week, my first thought was "give Harry a go at him."

How great is it that we can think of a 20game player to take on that kind of role?
"the opposition FF is the leading goal kicker in the competition...not to worry, our 20game kid will take him"

Look at the scalps Harry has so far this year.

Scott Lucas (leading goalkicker in the comp at that stage...18 goals from his first 4 games....harry gets him...0 goals)

Brad Johnson (came close to winning the coleman last year, and one of the most dangerous small forwards in the game. Averaged 3 goals a game (21 from 7) coming into our game. Harry kept him to 1.

Ohhh I love Harry O , the guy has real presence on the field and has good speed and body strength.

Watching Harry play footy is like listening to Barry White, very smooth.

they call him the cult figure down at the club and hes not disapointing. I remember last year there were threads going around that we have no backman after the likes of Presti, Wakes and Jimmie.
Future looking very good with Maxwell, Shaw's, Brown, Anthony, Coxy, Goldsack, Toovey and Harry.

Harry reminds me of Mal Michael in his early prime.

This is the only one I've got of Big H, for now.
