Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I couldnt care if he kicked 20 goals in a game in the twos the rest of the year should be a wash for him to play seniors.

Thats nice dear

It is a big step up and not always easy to handle. He just hasn't gotten to the level yet, which is fine. Kids will get there in their own time.

It's a worrying sign but he has time on his side, needs to talk to a sports psychologist probably to better cope with pressure.

I wouldn't go that far, just needs a bit of confidence, it'll come.

 

[gouki88]

Definitely the right move. Physically he's a step behind the likes of Poulter and McCreery. For all the "hurr durr skinny Poulter" talk he hasn't looked weak at all, and his running is AFL-standard.

A big off-season would be ideal

 

[TradeDraft]

Good to see him Stick some Nice Strong Mark's Today.

Used the Ball well when he had it too

 

[Kappa]

He wasn’t terrible which is a massive step up, deserves a few games to see if he can show something.

 

[SchuPie]

Good step forward

Doesn’t need to reach his potential this year or next…just keep building

 

[Harry O]

I am comforted by how much his brother has improved over last 3 years. Think Oli will be a very handy player at 21/22 with a bit more size and experience

that one handed mark late showed his mercurial overhead talents

 

[well left]

Today was a step forward and importantly will give him some belief at the level.

I’m big on this kid. Once he realises that he can do what he’s done at VFL level at AFL level we’re going to have a player.

One that I think needs to play the rest of the year out, especially now Kelly is injured. Checkers and Cameron as the talls with Henry as a medium forward gives us something to look at.

He’s a good looking prospect. Has nice size and skill.

 

[Baird]

7 marks for any forward is a good performance

 

[legendstatus]

I think it’s a case of getting the ball more often and building confidence

These kids are still 2-3 years before we really stand up and notice

Not afraid of the contact either, went up a few times in packs.

I just have this feeling it will click and all come together. Seems like a good kid

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Playing seniors a year earlier than his body is ready for.
He’s gonna make big strides next year I think, he’s very brave in a contest too

 

[AmericanMustard]

Wasn’t spectacular but I was pleased to see he got involved today which was good. Should have ended up with 2 goals today as well.

 

[manicpie]

Showed more than enough today, especially the one hander, has had * all footy for 2 years. He's going to be a gun

Building belief is the key, takes time.
Steady progress, tick.

 

[Ugene41]

Loved that play where he took a mark on the half back flank and immediately played on with his opponent hot on his tail and hit up someone on the wing.

Definitely seems to be getting more confident. Think he would make a great long lead up forward taking marks along the wing and spotting up targets inside 50.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Kid showed some of his spark and skills today, well done young fella. Deserved to sing that song loudly.

 

[Good_Old]

Got better as the game went on. Something to build off.

 

[gouki88]

Ball sticks to his hands

 

[jonmacTrag]

Ball sticks to his hands

Great hands.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Think he showed a bit. Be good to see him persisted with for the next month.

 

[loki04]

Was improved but think people need to temper expectations this year.

Imagine him with his brothers body and in a few years he will a star
