Astute pick up....Playing his best football at 30 years of age.

Solid unit with a nice kick & great engine.....Would like to see the Hawks match him up on Fyfe, Dangerfield & the like, in a run-with role.....Seems ideally suited to the bigger bodied star midfielders of the competition.
 
If you had told me that Henderson would be outperforming Smith and Scully I would’ve said lay off the drugs. He’s been an outstanding recruit. Is very close to leading Hawthorn’s best and fairest.

Has there ever been a delisting that’s gone onto be an all Australian? He’d be in the rolling AA atm. Don’t expect him to keep it up, but it’s been a blistering start to the year

This thread needs more salt. Typical Hawthorn signing DFAs. Destination club bullshit, Adelaide ripped off again.

I remember almost nothing of Henderson at the Crows. He was there but one of their McKay/Brown/Hartigan types who you know play for Adelaide but don't really notice. Was ok last year but on fire the first few rounds. Maybe in some rolling AA sides, would've been in 0 pre season.

I hope he plays another few years (31 this year). At the rate he's aging he'll be 47 by next year.

31 in September actually, so he'll play all of next season at that age, assuming he's done enough to warrant another years extention....LOL>
