Where is the improvement going to come from?
Harris started 06 off in fine form but drifted quite badly and was given a belting a few times. If we're going to be a successful side in the Finals then Harris is arguably the most important player on the ground for us, because if he's able to hold a Gehrig, Neitz, Lynch etc. we're giving ourselves a very good chance of beating those sides. However; Harris has struggled a bit in recent times.
What's his weaknesses, his strengths, and what does he have to do in order to improve his game?
He has the ability to be a strong FB in the competition IMO.
Another thought; could the fact that we've had NO quality forwards since Harris has been at the Club be a disguised problem? He hasn't had any real quality to contend with over Pre-Seasons, etc. since his time. Could this be a dis-advantage to him, compared to Glass from WCE or Caroll from The Dees? IMO it is a possibility. Holds Harris back from improving to what he could if he had a Gehrig/Riewoldt/Lynch/Hall/Thompson etc to compete with. He can't improve a lot if he's mopping the floor with Skipper, Walsh, Tiller etc.
Darcy's been out for 2 years whilst Grant - still a very good player - is not a genuine star KPF.
Thoughts?
