DEMON recruit Harry Sharp has showcased what he could offer a Melbourne outfit in 2025, impressing with dash and dare from the wing in Friday morning’s match simulation.
Melbourne Media cast its eye over the club’s four quarter hit-out, during which the former Lion showed he’s got more to his repertoire than just elite running capabilities.
The 22-year-old’s desperate linking run and a full-length, diving smother on Tom Campbell won’t harm his claims for a spot on the wing come Round 1.
Matthew Jefferson continued to push his case for a senior debut, kicking majors from a strong mark opposed to Tom McDonald and an opportunistic goal-square gather.
Kozzy Pickett was electric across the morning’s play, with his blinding pace and delicate touch proving to be a mouth-watering combination.
A dazzling scoop and pin-point, weighted pass from a passage of play on the Thurin High Performance Centre wing at Casey Fields punctuated his afternoon.
Selection No. 6 Harvey Langford showed flashes of brutal brilliance, with a hurried instinct finish from 50 metres turning heads.
Langford also managed to battle through an attempted fend from the aforementioned Pickett, adding a holding the ball tackle on the elusive Demon to his resume.
Kynan Brown was typically busy, finding plenty of football from half-forward.
The versatile Harrison Petty looked at home in defence, with his intercept marking and goal-saving efforts on show.
The team will continue to ramp up its match simulation sessions in preparation to take on North Melbourne on February 22 in its first pre-season fixture.
