Free Agency Ricky Henderson [joined Hawthorn as a delisted free agent]

[Blackhawk42]

Career best form right now. Didn't see it coming but fantastic from the Silver Fox.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah this hurts, was always a better player than Mackay, never used consistently in the right role for us

I actually think this hurts more than giving up Lyons for cheap (not gonna count those that asked to move)

 

[chickentendies]

I still can’t believe that Adelaide kept David Mackay and got rid of Henderson who’s a much better player in nearly every single statistical category.

I mean in Adelaide's defence I didn't see Henderson's start to this season coming at all.

 

[Procrastinator35]

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.

 

[TylerDurden]

He’s elite.

Plenty of signs last 2 years. But he isnt a focus of the media. Yet.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Thought it was rough for Adelaide to delish him. Maybe it was agreed upon for both clubs? But he's gottencbetter every year at hawthorn. Had a great 2018 as well

 

[Prochard123]

This guy's first 5 rounds this year...

 

[Kakkle]

Amazing.

 

[WWSD]

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.

 

[Burtman]

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

 

[TylerDurden]

AA lock on present form.

 

[Warhorse]

Brilliant today

 

[Hodgey09]

No idea what the hell has gotten into this bloke this year but ******* hell, would never have thought he could play this well.

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>

 

[Scotland]

Yes 31 in September is indeed 31 this year.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Yes 31 in September is indeed 31 this year.

Correct....31 for the entire 2020 H&A season.
