Yeah if he ended up being half as good as Menzel was before his injuries (seriously he was projecting as Stevie J 2.0 but with better hands), then that would be phenomenal. Needs to work on the defensive side of his game, but has a serious leap on him and a lot of tricks/agility - hence the Menzel comparison.

Imagine 14 (15 including Mark himself) Geelong players showing up at your door - how could you say no?
Did Lachie Fogarty force his way out? I can't remember. We cut bait on him early enough and it was the right call.
Great word, and incidentally also one of my favourite cult films that not many people know about

I think maybe mutual? From memory he was under contract but he wanted more game time and midfield time and I think we'd seen enough to indicate he didn't have a big ceiling
Yeah he did. Didn't last long either. Carlton is basically where our discard's careers go to die - Carlton just don't know it yet when they trade for them

Fogarty and 38 was traded for 30 and 51.
Basically gave him away in the end. 8 pick upgrade in the second round and P51

Do you recall who we used 30 for? Or did we trade it out?

Yeah, all for Higgins...no-one won that trade, haha
Henry's goals in the VFL this year.
3, 2, 7, 4, 3, 3, 0, 1... Basically just under 3 per game this year in the VFL - Up from 2 per VFL game in his first year.
AFL 1.4 goals per game this year - Up from 0.7 in his first year.
The kid has serious goal-kicking ability and has done it when needed at the top level.
People are pumped about Neale kicking 2 a game for us in the VFL... Henry is a skinny kid who kicks about 3 and isn't even the prime target.
I think this could be one that we talk down to try to get for #25... But when we do get him, we realize how good of a get it could be.
Guys that look like they could be 40+ goal kickers every year for a long time in the AFL don't grow on trees.
Only think he can improve as well over time once he gets back home.
I see him as a possible dangerous medium-sized Fritsch type when forward or a slightly smaller Howe type if he goes back (like Howe did).

Yeah that trade is a nil all draw!

Higgins is a big part of our young player development though. I think that gets lost on fans. Was early back for pre-season from memory working closely with our young forwards. His value wasn't felt on the field, but he played a pretty key role. Clubs offloading these "older" players are robbing themselves the mentors kids need to grow.

Yeah that's true. I wonder if he'll hang around in a coaching or player development role?

Menzel was an astonishing talent - does his knee 4 times and comes back to the AFL after the fourth repair to kick 4 goals! A fit Menzel (and Vardy) would have seen us win more flags.
Henry is no Menzel but he will very obviously make player - he's already been a match-winner.
As for the draft, having a precious pick 7 for a change he club will probably play safe and pick Clark, though I like Hustwaite, Busslinger, Ginbey, McKenzie, Philipou and Humphreys in no particular order.
Buckenara says this draft is OK but then he really rated Fogarty - just shows it's not an exact science.

Just wait waiting waiting...
Come on get the Bowes thing done.
For those that think players should be contracted for 3 or 4 years after drafting ... how would it work? Give all R1 picks. 250 or 400 for year 3 just wondering as it seems I hear thsi sai a bit but as we are into 2 player after their 3rd year this year ... should GWS and Collingwood still have both players contracted for another year or two?

I have not tried to do those trade games on here for sometime ... but I know Im certainly no Stephen Wells ... although pretty sure no one else is either . .
How much do you want for that player. 2 R1 picks and Holmes...

would you understand him ..if he said no?
Notwithstanding this value, clearly not a good option with pick 30
