Ross played Walters in the midfield in 2019, in a similar way to Bolton at the tigers.
Small, clean dangerous goal kicking, play makers.
If Ross is training Henry as that player, then that’s why Ross recruited him.
That means Ross thinks it’s a possibility to work.
Ross was a big fan of Henry in his juniors, but was out the year before he finally got to coach him.
It might not work for Henry immediately but it’s a money ball gamble that if it paid of would be big for the Saints.
Pretty sure most of Henry’s juniors was as a mid. Only highlights that got shown where snap and dribble goals, so people thought he was a forward and he was way to skinny early on to get any mid minutes.
I don’t think JLo ever would have considered Henry as a mid. He didn’t rate Walters as a mid much either, despite winning an AA in that role the year before he joined.

Having completely missed the point of the Hill post I'm presuming that this one is literal and note that Lyon seems completely content with Brad Hill being a completely outside non contested player.
I probably see a bit more in Henry than some and really liked some of his work in tight situations in the backline last year. He's very skilful, seems to be able to keep a cool head in traffic and makes good decisions so I could see him being useful around the ball.
He was a very young, inexperienced, small player when he came in but his trajectory has been such that I could see him being prepared to put his body more inline as his confidence grows. His vision & decision making is absolutely elite at times.
Henry's traffic work is pretty good and it might fix his slow decision making, which seemed to be one of his major flaws as the winger. Less time to make a decision means he isn't searching too long for the right one.
Small frame does make it harder to win the ball though, could be good as that inside out player.
I'll be watching it closely if it comes to fruition

Brad Hill & Liam Henry both can’t play the fat side. If he’s going to play as the skinny side winger, which Brad can’t then he needs to lift his contested ball winning numbers from 4 or 5 to 7 or 8.
Sitting at the back of the contest you need composure not to turn it over under pressure, with a mixture of decision making & execution the key to that role. Execution under pressure has been a bit of an issue for him, playing inside is a fast education or they legitimately want him on ball.

Enjoying water polo free booze and food with Gerard Neesham, Ben Allan and other Neeshams on Saturday night. All nice people.
Part of me wanted to ask stuff about some of the crap Neesham cops over some things during his life at Freo but I thought maybe not.

Henry has very clean hands…the other thing is playing this role may mitigate the fact that he can’t kick over a jam tin
Hamling playing the vfl scratchy instead of AFL
Maybe not in their round 1 plans?

Damn, weird considering he almost seemed a lock for their team.

Didn't watch it all, saw him drop a sitter
Also saw him kick a nice goal (ofc he finds his accuracy once he leaves us lol)
He kicked a goal…wtf
Had 40 (27 contested) and kicked 5 straight.
I saw the replay of that. If he was playing for us it wouldn't even make the distance

Pretty sure there weren’t even 27 contested possessions in the whole game let alone from one player! Very open game.

He truly had the yips at afl level for us
He was fine at Peel
I'm gonna guess it was a really unlucky streak, like Jetta for the swans 15 years ago
I'm pretty certain he's gonna come good
He was showing plenty of signs last year
It's a shame we got an f2 for him

I see it the other way. His last 4-6 games for us changed from an f4 to an f2.
Hi I come in peace. I am a Saints track watcher, and Henry has impressed everyone with his training intensity, think he will link up well with Hill and Wanganeen-Milera.
I would find it hard to believe he wasn't a hard trainer for you guys, you can't just turn that type of intensity on.
Good luck for the year.

Yeah, you got a steal there. Going to be a very solid player imo.

His training wasn't the issue.
