If Harford said he didnt know enough about Russell to comment, but on the other hand has something to add about Blackwell (both being at the club for similar times); could this be a polite way of saying he's not so fantastic?
Just seems a bit strange as you'd reckon he'd have seen a bit of all of the young blokes.
I certainly have a question mark on Russell myself, i.e the jury is out.
Time will tell of course.
Or do the actual facts of the matter make it just as likely Harf is telling the truth because 1) Harford didn't play last year when Russell started and 2) this year Harf has only played 1 game with him in the VFL (Rd1) and maybe half a practice game with him preseason game.
Russell would have played RD1 VFL then the Bullants had a bye in Rd2 and the rest of the time Russell has been in the seniors. Whereas with Blackwell he has played all 3 games along side Harford as an onballer and Harford obviously has more to do with Blackwell in that sense than Russell playing 1 game of a HBF. Makes perfect sense when you think about it really
