Henneman to be retained

[Karlostj]

pending an assessment of PSD options....

according to the EFC.

Surely something better will come up in the PSD????

Where did you get that from?

 

[Shane Hird]

The only thing Henneman should be retained by us for is to be a player welfare consultant for our young recruits.

He can sit them down and tell them how NOT to play AFL football.

He can be an example for young players who should quit while there ahead.

Essendon lodges first 2007 playing list
Tuesday, 31 October 2006
Essendon has made nine changes to its 2006 playing list, as the club today lodged its first list with the AFL for the 2007 season.

Adam Ramanauskas has not been included on the list. The club has lodged a submission with the AFL to have Adam classified as a mature age rookie. Under the AFL rules, a mature age rookie can not have been on an AFL list previously.

"We are seeking an exemption from this aspect of the rule," Essendon chief operating officer Travis Auld explained.

"The club is awaiting advice from the AFL regarding our submission. Our submission was circulated to all AFL clubs and those who have responded have indicated their support."


Aaron Henneman has been retained on the list at this point of time pending further assessment of the pre-season draft.

"Aaron was made aware that this would be the process following the conclusion of the season," Auld said.

While earlier today Matthew Firman was advised he would not be offered a second year on the rookie list.

The second list lodgment will be made on Friday November 17.

say it isn't so. i don't think i can take much more of this. first solly goes, then bolts stays...i thought i was 1 for 3 when i heard henneman was going

 

[Bomberz_pacers07]

Thought Firmin was abit unlucky not to be retained....he had some good games at bendigo. I hope Notting becomes available now soo we dont keep henneman.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

He'll be delisted imo.

 

[go_the_bombers]

He'll be delisted imo.

Agree

We should be able to find someone better in the PSD

 

[Shane Hird]

Yep,straight away u think he has been told "if we get nothing from the PSD,your in as a top up player and u will only get a game if the sh-t really hits the fan in 07'

The question is..why bother?

He should have been gone 3 years ago.

 

[Longy413]

It sounds as if the club thinks the list is lacking experience, 24-27 year olds. It is. That makes sense, we can all see that.

So if we can get someone in that age group in the PSD, then Henno goes.
Yep, that's all well and good.

If we can't find someone, why keep Henno though?
Sure, he's had a bad run of injuries, sure he's played some handy footy down back in his first year. But surely there is a VFL (or WAFL/SANFL) player in that age group that we could give a crack if we want a more mature player on the list rather than a kid. Because essentially, that is all Henno is. A VFL player.

Dare I say it, I'd rather re-draft Cupido.

 

[go_the_bombers]

Dare I say it, I'd rather re-draft Cupido.

I'd rather Cupido over Henneman

 

[Shane Hird]

Duds of EFC


Cupido,Bolton,Alvey,Haines,Hunt,Bullen,Walsh,Davies,Forster-Knight
and the pick of the bunch..........

Aaron F--king "Don't Give ME the Ball!" Henneman!

Further assessment of the draft.

And this was meant to be the best draft ever right? Ha ha ha...

Same old **** Kev. EFC = ****ED FOR 2007 -

The decision has logic written all over it, except for the fact that Henneman is being kept in the belief that he will actually make a difference next season....

Sheedy is obsessed with keeping these type of players around when its clear to all that the player is finshed at League level.

He keeps thinking he's got another Wallis experiment up his sleave.

Its not gunna work with hen- o -man,me think ef'.

 

[Citizen Erased]

For a hack of a player to be on an AFL LIST for EIGHT YEARS and done NOTHING is A DISGRACE! Either NOT GOOD ENOUGH for a senior game or INJURED should have sent alarm bells ringing at the club 3 years ago! PISS OFF HENNOHACK.................

 

[Shane Hird]

Its embarrassing for the supporters to keep him.

Its totally got me jiggered why he is kept on.

There is not a single good enough reason to hang onto this sub -standard
d-ckwad.

And if your reading this Henno,( highly unlikely) STIFF! I don't feel bad at all.

I felt a tiny bit bad writing bad things about Bolton,but not u son.

Will u just please F_ck Off!

 

[Shane Hird]

We can't bag other team's dud players cause they can come back with...

"Well,at least he's not as bad as that spacko Henneman"

 

[Longy413]

I'd actually prefer Henno on the list than Bolts.

 

[Crave]

I'd actually prefer Henno on the list than Bolts.

You'd be one of very few...

u can't be serious longy?

 

[Longy413]

Probably, but I presume Bolts in being kept to play as a key-back depth player.

I'd rather Henno, he can actually defend somewhat.

 

[Silvagnis]

I guess this means you won't be drafting Hansen or Gumbleton if he is retained.

 

[Jex]

I'd rather Henno, he can actually defend somewhat.

No he can't. Neither can Bolts. Both are terrible defenders. Both have had enough time to prove themselves and don’t deserve anymore. Bolton is better than Henneman because he might negate Adam Goodes once or twice a year, win the 3km time trial during the preseason and is at times, a decent enough wingman or half forward flanker.

Maybe you should f*** off...loser Having supporters like you is way more embarrassing than keeping Henneman.

That's further assessment of the PSD...not the national draft. Either way, Hen should go. Get the next best kid not selected in the "super" draft if there's nobody worth recycling. God help us if Clokey (either of them) is drafted.

 

[Longy413]

Disagree.

If Fletcher goes down, Henno is a greater chance of stopping a tall forward than Bolton. Someone like Neitz, Henno is a much better chance.

I'm not defending his position on the list, we should chop him. But he's a better option for key-back depth than Bolts. Henno has actually played some decent footy back there, it was just too long ago for anyone to really remember, or for it to count.

Both should go.
