With pick 19 in the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft, the GIANTS have selected rebounding defender Harrison Oliver. 

The key details:  

Name: Harrison Oliver

State: Victoria
Drafted from: Vic Metro | Sandringham Dragons
Position: Medium defender
Height: 181cm
Date of Birth: 15/06/2006

Bio: Oliver is a composed and hard-running defender with the potential to play across the ground. Named All-Australian following a brilliant campaign setting up the play for Victoria Metro, Oliver is blessed with a silky left foot, great decision-making skills, and line-breaking speed.  He averaged 16.2 disposals at 83 per cent efficiency and 3.2 tackles across four matches at the National Championships. A weapon out of defence, Oliver capped off his All-Australian season with a premiership with the Sandringham Dragons, where he was also selected in the Coates Talent League Team of the Year. With his elite left foot and his ability to cover the ground he has been likened to new teammate and GIANTS star Josh Kelly. 

What GIANTS Head of Talent Adrian Caruso says: “Harry had a really strong year across Sandringham, Vic Metro and Brighton playing predominantly as a rebounding defender. He has good speed and run but balances that with a strong ability to compete and defend his man. He is a strong runner and we see him as a versatile player who might be able to play other lines down the track.”
