Only 6 yesterday as he was not able to stop Nank’s influence at ball ups. 35 to 20 clearances not good enough???Darcy got 9 a couple of weeks ago.
This is poignant, in the first it looked like they weren't going to show up at all (maybe they wouldn't have if we kicked straight) and I was happy we were going to get an easy kill like some others have in that run.Richmond have lost 6 out of their past 7 and are not the power they were in past seasons but still had the players and motivation to have a red hot crack at this game, we did well to not wilt in the face of an experienced and motivated opponent.
Just need to separate "doubts" about ability to "doubts" about making it as a consistent AFL footballer. The skill sets are not the same. I agree he needs more time and he is obviously rated highly otherwise he wouldnt be in the team for as long as he has been. Lit up the wing briefly. Deserves more time there.I’m staggered anyone could have doubts about Henry. His is very rare talent.
He was injured in his U18 year & barely played any football before going straight into the cauldron of AFL & he’s still a little overwhelmed at the level but have you ever seen anyone pick up a ball one touch at full tilt the way he does?
His vision, decision making and execution of either leg is exquisite when he’s in the moment & the mistakes will lessen as he gets more comfortable as they already are.
More talent than Walters or Hill just remains to be seen if he has the mental toughness & work ethic but I’ve not heard a bad word said about his preparation & training.

I'd love to know (Taylor or anyone else) how much you can improve your tank or how much its max it determined at birth. I think it's the biggest thing limiting him at the moment where you can see he gets completely gassed pretty quickly.I’m staggered anyone could have doubts about Henry. His is very rare talent.

The Yella and Blue after the game wasn't great, was it?Who is the fu** head who controls the lights to the Matagarup bridge?
He had a good game but I commented the exact same in the gameday thread. Too many times he just gives up on creating a contest and it shits me. If you could add the mongrel Treacy has you'd have a perennial AA player. Too his credit, he was MUCH better the 2nd halfI’d forgotten what it feels like to actually enjoy watching us play. Two minor gripes though, firstly Treacy was well held, that was disappointing, and secondly, why does Tabs just let the defender hold him out of the marking contest 2-3 metres from the fall of the ball? He doesn’t remonstrate or anything, he just stands there letting the defender hold him. Dixon, Buddy and Hawkins physically throw the defender out of the way, often illegally in my opinion, but the ump let’s them get away with it. Why doesn’t Tabs do that? He’s already conceding the mark, so what if he gives away a free. Tabs needs to develop some mongrel, he needs to let defenders know that he won’t be dominated physically. It really, REALLY pisses me off.
Connor Blakely was so surprising. On the wing, running hard and beautiful kicking. 17 disposals is a great return for a sub
Yeah, with Valente off, I think Blakely has earned himself another year. Ideally on the rookie list but we dont have much depth in the midfield.
Mah bad, could have sworn he was out of contract this yearHe’s still signed up for next year
I assumed you thought we could delist him and relist him on the rookie list. He can take Hughes' place on the rookie list assuming all of Bewley, Schutlz, Treacy, Watson and Banfield remain.Mah bad, could have sworn he was out of contract this year
Yeah, sure, that's what I meantI assumed you thought we could delist him and relist him on the rookie list. He can take Hughes' place on the rookie list assuming all of Bewley, Schutlz, Treacy, Watson and Banfield remain.
And you'd be exactly right.
No, 6/8"Griffin Logue career best first half. Fought hard. 6/10."
