Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

I'm not opposed to giving him another look at AFL level against the bottom-placed team this week - it'll be much easier for the lad than a red-hot debut against the Dogs. Structure-wise we get an excuse to put Moore back and JDG a longer stint in the middle.

I also think he'll be well-served in putting together a block of performances like these in the VFL and really earning his trip back after the halfway mark.

You're all welcome for this post.

I was just about to thank you….

He's had enough time back in the VFL, it's about time he plays this week.

I'd like to see a bit more consistent VFL form from him but wouldn't be surprised to see him included.

I think he is ready. Has been clunking marks and kicking goals pretty constantly recently.

and lot easier to team to play Againt in North and not the Dogs

Can’t play 5 kids under 10 games and expect to win.

Which increases his chances of having an impact and THAT will give him confidence which will improve his performance.

Maybe we don't want to win

I think we are looking for a priority pick.

Love some draft concessions. Netted GCS Davies and Jeffrey last draft, Rowell and a heap of other draft capital in 2019, and Corbett, Collins, and Burgess in 2018. And their list is now capped at 53 players. Still hasn't finished playing out. Can you organise something like that?

You make a very compelling argument.

If we stink it up for 2 years it will.

 

[Lockyer24]

The way his brother has improved is impressive

Gets another chance, hope he gets a goal early because he'll be a different player once he gets some confidence.

Confidence is good for all Players.

Yeah Hopefully he can Kick 1 early and don't look back from there

Hes simply not ready he looks so lost out there i dont care how good hes playing in the twos.

He's still simply got a boy's body, has the attributes but not yet developed enough to hold his ground or position in a marking duel.

I agree theres things to work with but its all coming to soon for him right now

Very true sadly that is the position we find ourselves in, should be cycled through back into the vfl and another youngster elevated for a few games.

So why was he played? Most posters agreed he should not get a game on the strength of a couple of good VFL quarters. He will again be back in the VFL though the concussion injuries we suffered may gift him another game. The Swans will destroy him.

Still better then WHE and C Brown and Thomas

No he's not.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Having to compete with McKay was definitely not ideal. But agree that he doesn't look ready for seniors. Doesn't offer a lot of forward defensive pressure either.

I wouldn't complain if they give him another week. But I'm starting to think developing in the VFL might be best for him this year
