Since he was drafted he has been in the papers practically everyday over in Perth. The day before his first match, his sponsor, (Puma I think), took out a full page ad in the paper wishing him luck. That's alot of pressure.
I've only seen him play one match, but you're right, there does seem to be a bit of arrogance. And his constant bewilderment when he gave away a free has to stop.
The constant gushing over him by the commentators was annoying, especially when there were more deserving players for the Eagles on the day.
People's ratings of West Coast are coloured by last year when they were practically fielding a reserves side.They have a number of A Graders fit now that weren't playing last year. Whilst they remain fit they won't be pushovers.

We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
Harley got the veterans going. His 2nd quarter inspired the whole team.
It’s attitude not arrogance. Papley is like Reid and the Swans fans love it.
It’s going to be a joy for the AFL community watching Harley play. He’s got the breakaway speed of Chad and the power of Dusty. Put those two great players together and you get Harley.
I’ve never seen an 18 year old overpowerer so many mature AFL players.
