Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[Cobalt King]

Weren't Ginnivan and McCreery from 2020 draft?

Ginni rookie draft I did specify senior draft but yes McCreery was a late pick, should have mentioned that, still pretty sad that all we have from two senior drafts selected in the 22 is a pressure forward.

Guess you cost us a game you pay for it. Will be at Geelong next year

Your obsession with teenage rumour spreading is a bit creepy

 

[Maggie Greg]

Disgusted by this omission..

I'm in the he will go to Geelong camp

McRae has NFI.

 

[SchuPie]

Every time I watch one of Jen’s training videos I see Ollie pulling in great grabs…

 

[jmac70]

McRae has NFI.

That’s a little harsh.

 

[Go Woods]

Every time I watch one of Jen’s training videos I see Ollie pulling in great grabs…

He is a must keep and should be playing every week as he will be an integral part of our forward line for the next decade.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Irritated at him being dropped. Kids don't get a leash at Collingwood.

One poor game and straight out - happens all the time. It's a wonder they don't develop.

 

[jonbe54]

LOL I do love the outrage - typical BF.

The kid could have a niggle or simply be very sore.

 

[jathanas]

If his omission is simply a team balance issue i.e. makes room for Elliot, I can accept it.

We lack talented forwards. Ollie is a talented forward.

Mental demons can be overcome, if this is what ails him; support and belief going a long way towards addressing that.

Yeah, he'll be fine. He is the future. But probably more about team balance. No doubt he has things to work on, like his defensive pressure and his mental part of the game, but has too much talent to waste.

McRae has NFI.

Why? Henry looked cooked last week. Probably needs a break.

 

[Jen2310]

Kids his age wont always be a regular in a senior, fit side. But as long as he keeps working hard, another pre-season and next year he will be best 22 every week. Has played more than some in the last 12 months, he'll understand where he is at. What he needs to improve and work on. There isn't anything to freak out about at this point in time.
Another pre-season in the gym will help as well.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

10 disposals , 6 marks 3 behinds 30% disposal efficiency

9 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal 2 behinds, 33% disposal efficiency

One was mihoceks game vs the dogs the other was Henry’s

If they believe in his talent and work rate they should just back the kid in

It’s not just performance (which Henry is stiff to be dropped based on that alone). It’s also team balance.

We have Ginnivan and Elliot returning to the team and Cox replacing Begg which frees Cameron to return to the forward line. Somebody had to go to make room. It had to be Henry or McCreery and mcreeery got the nod because of the role he plays.

 

[Bianconeri]

An easy decision, someone had to make way for Elliott and Ginnivan and when he had the ball he put his hand up to be that bloke.

 

[ksardog]

Fantastic for Henry to stand up and deliver
onward and upward for him in a big way

 

[Pistol Night]

Sign him up!!

 

[stormskye]

Been saying it all along, a star in the making and needs to play every week. Few are quiet in here

 

[ant22]

Been dropped and definitely deserved

How you like them apples?

Silly comment. He was terrible last week and we had proven forwards returning. He was clearly sensational today so that's wonderful. Why the endless potshots?

I've been a Noble defender from day one but I don't jump on and take digs at his critics when he plays well. I feel very happy that my team has one and he has played his part.

 

[swoop42]

Collingwood would want to hurry up, increase the current offer and re-sign him because the parallels between him and Gunston when at Adelaide are obvious.

I have little doubt the aging Cats are waiting to pounce.

 

[rand corp]

"The monkeys off the back Oliie!"

Very happy for the boy, talent is obvious, nerves you can get on top of with experience, get him signed.

Wwe

Because the person who made the comment does nothing but bag our players week in week out. He has a right to his opinion but the way he Carries on you’d think he is a 300 game club champion.

And personally I didn’t think he should have been dropped. The kid kicked poorly but worked hard and got his hands on the ball. With were we are at I thought he should have been backed in. I’m glad he got his chance and took it.

Are you still a Henry critic, or are you trending towards being a fan?

Henry was unfairly criticised. I’ll call it where I see it. Kid got plenty of the ball last week, more than any other and should never have been dropped
