Harry Armstrong [merged]

[Willy]

I have a distant connection to this kid.

Is hard as. We will love him. 

[Andyy]

Didn't get a lot of ball but gee I loved his attack and got straight up after that hit. Beautiful pass late in the game too.

I reckon we have another player.

[Simonator]

His attack was fantastic and that’s all you can ask for from a young key fwd

[Buddysucks]

Some great signs already, got to a lot of contests and nearly clunked several contested marks. They’ll start sticking with time.

[TigerLand]

Harry will be such a gun. I tipped him to go Dees at Pick 6. We have a steal here.

[Willy]

Great last Q from big H.

One small step for Richmond

Putting team statistics aside, it's all about the future at Punt Road this year. Round one saw exciting games from Sam Lalor and Luke Trainor, but this week was Harry Armstrong's time to shine. The 18-year-old key forward lifted as the game progressed on Saturday, kicking his first AFL goal in the final term and then following it with a second. The Tigers' incredibly young forward line was understandably overwhelmed and will welcome Tom Lynch back with open arms next round, but Armstrong showed he is prepared to become the man when Lynch's time is done.

At training today.

Is that the injured hammy? That’s a hell of an extension 1 week after what they’ve told us is a 12 week injury.

Was probably ready 4 weeks ago.  But we're being cautious

[camboon]

I remember a time as we tried to finish 9th and particularly at the end of the season trying to win games that other clubs were playing their 2’s , ruined a few players careers ,
I’m happy for the club to be conservative particularly when there no great value to play them until they are close to 100%

Harry Armstrong
(Pick 23)

Armstrong debuted in Round 1 against Carlton before kicking multiple goals in two games (against Port Adelaide and Brisbane).

The mobile key forward was an All-Australian for Vic Metro last year and impressed for the Sandringham Dragons.

Armstrong is working his way back to full fitness after a hamstring tendon injury suffered in April and is close to a return.

Richmond’s head of development, Sam Lonergan’s lowdown

What stands out? His greatest strength is that he’s very strong in the air. He’s a left footer, moves and runs and looks fairly balanced across the field, and a very strong competitor. That collision in the Carlton match with Ollie Hollands stands out. A bone-crunching moment and both players jumped straight back up. Very resilient.

What’s he like? He’s quiet. He's always smiling. I very rarely see him unhappy or flat. He has a strong sense of his football ability. There's some real confidence there, which is not uncommon when you see high draft picks coming through. People enjoy being around him because he makes the space, the energy he gives is good. He’s very humble and has a great sense of gratitude.

Where will he play? He's obviously a key forward, but he's got this ability to get up the ground and then get back and beat you. You could play three key forwards with Harry being the third key because he can get up the ground a bit more and fulfill some other roles as well.
