Henderson has Gone (to Hawthorn?)

[1970crow]

You've got CrowCro-and-Brodie-Martin levels of adoration for a player who isn't even particularly good.

He deserved to be delisted as a 28 year old not in the side's best 22.

Hendo's been dropped less times over the past 3 years than Mackay.

 

[1970crow]

It happened on the eastern wing & was witnesses by all watching from centre wing.

You are in denial if you think it never happened.

I commented on bigfooty at the time & wasn't alone in this.

You've never backed it up with anything and at best there was about 4 Hendo haters who agreed with that assessment.

I'm not sure what angle you're aiming for here. I don't rate either player.

Hendo doesn't deserve to be delisted whilst Mackay remains on the list. Mackay is by far the lesser player, but certainly more durable. Which is somewhat unfortunate.

 

[the universal]

Well, I definitely don't disagree with that. In a perfect world ...

 

[Scorpus]

Both Hendo and Mackay shouldn't be on the list. I'm really hoping Mackay has a performance clause to trigger his fourth year (aka. we can delist him at the end of 2017 if we don't play him like Henderson)

It happened right in front of me! I turned to my mate in disbelief & he confirmed what we saw. It happened - fact.

Neither should be on our list.

You make it out like hendo is twice the player of mackay, when the reality is neither should be playing as we have better alternatives with higher upside.

Hendo was not unlucky to be delisted, but mackay is lucky to be contracted.

Silly comment. unfortunately they are two players that can run and carry and as yku well know this is an area we are lacking

But what do they do with it after they run and carry? That's a pretty important aspect of the run and carry type of player.

We are not lacking. We brought in several players for this reason. Henderson's and Mackay's 'run and carry' is/was close to worthless most of the time.

So are we set to swoop on a potential spud and most likely box hill for his remaining years or has he got potential

In short - you're swooping on a skilled, but soft player. Will divide your board.

Prime whipping boy material. Could be in and out of your side.

He's 28. I guess he's past the point of 'potential'.

Solid depth, can play about 5-10 games depending on injury list.

Will see, now we have 3 well known whipping boys in vickery, shoey and soon Ricky.

At least you'll be able to spread the hate around.

We won't know what to do if Mackay, Douglas and Thompson aren't best 22 next year.

Thought Thompson was well loved from you guys, learn something every day

He was, but he's cooked

He is, it's just that he's gone over the edge, and performance has started to fall and we would be better off bringing younger guys.

How's Henderson "cooked" when he was our BOG in his last game for the Crows ......where'd you pull that beauty from

He was talking about Thommo, not Hendo.
