Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[coolidge1000]

I think we just have to be patient. He doesn't look lie he'll be AFL relevant until his body matures. Should play VFL for the rest of the year - probably most of next year too.

The biggest thing you look for is ability to get to contest's he's doing that he will definitely make it

 

[Vicky Park]

Needs time and development, and we have plenty of the former this year, as we're not going anywhere.

Too soon to write him off.

Can't agree there. Getting to a contest is the easiest part of footy. You just have to run. Impacting the contest is where you show your worth. Of all our debutants this year, he is the biggest disappointment for me. Not writing him off but he is a mile off it. Give him the rest of the year to develop in the VFL.

 

[pablo disco bar]

As has been said looks good in VFL
At afl level can't get near it.....yet

 

[Mkcaptain]

Just can't understand how he looks like a completely different player in the VFL.

 

[Doc1763]

This kid is nowhere near ready.

The fact he keeps getting a game proves the plot is nowhere to be found.

 

[Rusty Beam]

My worry is that he doesn’t appear to have any real elite physical attributes.

For a bloke built like a whippet you’d hope he has a bit of a turn of speed or agility. Unfortunately I’m not seeing it.

Goes to show how big of a gulf there is of talent between the two.

It's called choking

 

[TradeDraft]

Bit concerning he doesn't look anywhere near the level given he was our first pick

He missed Footy all last season

Guess you did not watch him in the VFL vs Suns

I haven't written him off but I am struggling to think of a poorer first four games from a Collingwood player. He has fumbled and fallen over repeatedly and hardly won a contest be it in the air or on the ground. It's almost more concerning due to the fact that he stands out in the VFL and his hands are so good. He clearly has mental issues at the top level.

 

[domus]

That's my concern. He seems to be mentally fragile.

Better Delivery to him

 

[domus]

I'm not sure I agree. He is involved in many contests and never impacts them in the slightest.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I'm going out on a limb and saying he is too small with his given pace and skillset to be a class AFL player.

 

[SchuPie]

Go Ollie

Very hard to assesses where he’s at playing in our forward line

I’d give him a mix of playing in the 1s and 2s

 

[domus]

The lack of pace is a concern.

 

[Jen2310]

I feel for him. Hard to be a forward in our team at the moment.

Another pre-season will help and better coaches.

Tell that to Brayden Sier

 

[Rusty Beam]

Yeah I did actually Dave.

What are his elite physical attributes?

 

[ZEV]

Just needs to settle and relax, is making errors that he normally wouldn't. Will be fine

 

[domus]

Better Delivery to him

He has failed to grab a number of perfect passes and juggled them like a circus clown before finally dropping them.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

It’s a development year, any decisions regarding him should be about what’s best for his development. I’d give him another couple of games and then send him back.

 

[domus]

How many games does he needs before he relaxes? He is literally invisible when playing at the senior level other than when he drops sitters or gets outbodied like his isn't there. As a comparison, you couldn't say Wilson had a good game but I saw him constantly in the action being tackled or bumped and he looked like someone who could be okay if given a little time and space. His teammates blew a few chances to get his confidence up. Henry actually got a couple of decent passes and muffed them.
