Irra 'committed to being the best player'
Hart said he was confident Irra will do all he can to break into the senior side. "Whether it be in the midfield or down back, I think he'll put some real heat on some players and he'll be desperate to take someone's spot," he said. "I think it's just his commitment to being the best player and person within the community that he can be will see him become a significant person at Port Adelaide Football Club and in the wider AFL community." Irra said he was taking it a day at a time. "I'm just trying to learn as much as I can, and I'm going to to be taking it day by day, speaking to the coaches ... about about what I need to do, where I can improve, and just each day try to get better."
I really hope he succeeds. Great attitude and will do what it takes.I just have the feeling that in an AFL system where speed and strength is highly prized, Irra could be a real dangerous weapon - especially since the style played in the AFL is a lot less stoppage based and more focused around two way running.
You wouldn't waste a regular draft pick on him because he might have already reached his ceiling, but if he hasn't:

His body looks well built
Not sure about AFL level but I think we'll be needing him on the wing/halfback/backpocket at SANFL level.What position do we think Irra would play at afl level, if he were to make it? I'm pretty sure he's been used as both a small, line breaking defender and small forward with South.

dittoI want to him succeed so bad.
He seems like a gentlemen humble polite yet so determined and thankful.
I'm predicting Irra could get a handful of games this year. Neade might be in trouble unless he finds form.
Lets be honest Irra was barely a standout or beacon of consistency in the SANFL.
Love the story, but being realistic is important too.

Neade is in real danger of losing his spot to Monfries.I'm predicting Irra could get a handful of games this year. Neade might be in trouble unless he finds form.
