Just had a read, and am pleased to see that in the last 3 weeks, Cocky has gone from 'TBC', to '6 weeks', to now '4-6 weeks.' Still a chance he could play AFL this year if all the stars align
Fingers crossed

The club doesn't have either Hendo or Sav listed on their more recent injury update. More cautious timeframe for Menegola and Narkle as a test.

sounds like the knees that discounted him at draft are finally catching up to him.
It seemed pretty obvious he hasn't been playing at 100% since he came back from the couple of weeks off.
Hopefully a week off and getting his 60k back will see progressive improvement through the second half of the year - it is great to have the luxury to finally be able to carry him for a change!

Does anyone see Henderson getting a best22 game with all players available atm ? Taylor's form has been good and Hendersons injuries have made in a no contest. The only down side is Taylor being that bit older , in theory LH has time on his side but I think in body they are of similar age. Right now having a 22-23 year old CHB in the VFL would just about be the last straw for LH..so he has that in his favour. We lack that ..and as good as our form has been one can see injuries to the key players would gut the side.

Hendo ahead of Henry easily.
We are in a strong enough position that he should just be rested 'til finals, so he can get himself completely right. Bring Menegola back in after the bye or Round 16, and then he can fill Sel's spot until he is absolutely 100% at the business end

Can't see it. Would take an undesirable change to the role of Blicavs or Taylor. Don't think he's like for like with Henry who has been playing on mediums.
Your kidding right. Hendo is one of the worst finals performers I have ever seen and makes out backline tall slow and collectively much worse
Can’t agree, Henderson could only replace an injured Taylor. The others have roles that Henderson can’t physically cover with his leg speed. Handy back-up.

I’d leave hendo in the vfl. That injury will hinder him anyway, and i doubt his form would be much good.

I think Henderson is a better player than Henry is at this stage (though Henry hopefully has plenty of improvement left in him), but I don't think Henderson could play the same role that Henry currently is. Same with Kolo - both are more flexible in terms of match ups.
I see it as Henderson, Taylor and Blicavs vying for 2 spots in the side - and Blicavs is well and truly locked into one of them, which makes it Taylor vs Henderson. At the beginning of the year I'd have expected it to be Henderson, but Taylor's form has been good to great all year so it's his to lose at this point.

Structure of the backline is the best it's been for some time , Blitz and HT to play on the tall KPF's , Kolo and Henry able to lock down talls , mediums and some smalls , Touhy and Stewart to take the smalls and mediums with Stewart taking the interceptor role ( that Henry had last year)
IIRC the only bags have come from Cameron and Brown so there may be some work to do in locking down these types but overall the defence gets an A+ so far.
Henderson and Bews are depth for mine , handy depth at that
Henderson is not a replacement for Taylor or blicavs. He is an absolute s**t-truck when it comes to one on one defending. Not only that, he runs like he is moon walking through quicksand and requires acres of space just to change direction.
That left footed kick OOB against Richmond was a worry .
Was he favouring a side or just poor choice - under only moderate pressure.

Carji Top 7 his last full season.
Ahead of Taylor.
A tad harsh, but hard to find a spot in the current lineup for him.
Henry's upside and versatility, and Taylor's renaissance, keeps him on the sideline
Henderson's time in the hoops may be limited. I see him, if fit and able, heading to another club next year unless Taylor pulls the pin.
(Which may be possible if we get the chocolates this year. Maybe even if we don't)

Agreed. He's depth now.
