Just block him. Sadly Marty offers nothing. He just has a long running agenda that he wants to post about AGAIN and AGAIN.

Thanks for that
Matt Rowell same height and only 3kgs heavier - McHenry will be fine.

Eventually, this team of teenagers was likely to get overrun by a team full of mature bodies.
We got everything we needed out of this, giving people a run in the role they'll play 12 to 24 months from now.
They're developing together and building for the future. Now, let's wrap this up and finish this terrible ******* year, and start moving towards 2020.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
I was happy with what our kids showed in this finals series. There should be AFL opportunities for many of them next season. IMO, the three that our locks for R1-2020 are Fog, Jones & McHenry. Sholl, also, not far away.
I hope you're right. He's still the lightest player of all afl lists at the moment. He's only 19+ so there's hope. He's not going to magically turn into the hulk. We have to send him to Maccas for training.

Yeah, think we need to do what needs to be done to get Sholl into our firsts, we need a good user of the ball who kicks both feet. That ability makes up for a lot in the modern game

The leader of the bunch.
Gallucci (laziness and lack of intensity) and McPherson (injuries) are the only ones I think we can rule a line through at this stage.
Poholke, Himmelberg and Davis need big pre-seasons though.

Davis and McAdam look like they could do something next year. Davis needs to put on some size. Mcadam needs to get super fit. Poholke Is a bust. Berg is a worry. Lacks intensity. Needs a big preseason.
Players that will impact next year:
Fogarty
Jones
McHenry
Stengle
Davis
McAdam
Sholl
Gallucci. Not sold on this guy. Make or break year.
Not sure on Berg.
Expect rapid improvement from Butts and Hamill.

Thoughts on the game:
McHenry - Really like this guy, natural midfielder, clean hands, clean disposal, tackles hard and finds the footy. Disagree with comments that he's too small, just don't see it.
Scholl - Definitely needs to put a bit of bulk on, but definitely something there. Beautiful kick of the footy, smooth mover.
Fogarty - Gun.
Jones - Average game from Jones.
Poholke - Just don't see it. Lacks composure under pressure. Will be a gun state league player, just doesn't appear to have what it takes.
Gallucci - Needs to do more. Has his moments, then is invisible for prolonged periods.
McAdam - Starting to settle nicely and show why he was rated so highly. Hopefully can improve his fitness over the preseason and be raring to go round one.
Strachan - There's something there. Unfashionable, but moves suprisingly well and can take a contested grab.
Himmelberg - Had his moments, again needs to work harder on remaining involved in the game.

McAdam has a good final series, better than his minor round.
Really needs a strong preseason and we just have to play him, will excel in better company

Kudos to the Tigers for going over to applaud Otten off. Nice mark of respect.
Fog was the stand out, next year he will have a breakout year at AFL level
Gooch is a bust, can't find his own ball and offers nothing if the ball isn't fed to him.
Scholl, Jones and Ned have class, all need a bit of bulk and some exposure at AFL level.
Himmelburg got outplayed by Maxy Proud who is 12cm shorter. Jury may be out but the verdict they bring back may not be pleasant unless he can learn to hold onto some marks.
Hope the Tigers can beat Port next week.

Strachan has definitely been a major positive in the 2nd half of the season as a speculative pick. Has come on a lot quicker than I thought. Seems quite agile, takes a good mark and has neat skills. Doesn’t struggle to find the footy either.

Zac Fisher doesn't have a problem, similar stature, similar player and he's been in the system for 3 years...goes alright too I might add

Nat Fyfe 1st year on an AFL list pic below.
And guess what weight he was when drafted?
Yep 70kg who'd a thunk that eh? Weighs in at a tidy 92kg now...
What weight did you say Neddy was again? Was it 70kg?
I'm not suggesting Neddy will ever be the Incredible Hulk but ffs he's not even been in the system for 12 months yet.

Coach Ross Lyon has introduced a generic cut-off mark with skin folds for all players. Everyone must meet that mark to be able to play. I’m really lucky with my body that my skin folds stay really low.
My biggest battle has been trying to put on weight over the past couple of years. I put on about 4kg over the pre-season and my playing weight will be around 87kg this year.
It’s a far cry from the skinny 70kg I was when I was drafted back in 2009. I’ve also grown about 4cm since then and am about 190cm now.

Fyfe had that "coathanger" shoulder frame. Was always going to get big.footy4ever

Milera similar. He was quite light when started and just now starting to get some bulk.
Not sure McHenry really has that shape.

Zac is a favourite player of mine. He’s as elusive as anyone in the comp. That’s how he survives. He’s a tad heavier than Ned and has better evasive skills. It looks to me like Ned tries to play a game not suited to his stature.
Which is my point.
Is Ned going to grow 4 cms in that time? I can’t see it myself. Sure he’ll put on some weight but his body type will make it harder for him at AFL level.footy4ever

Ned looks like he can play he will naturally fill out
For me his only downside is his composure which affects his disposal
Will play plenty of AFL games will be one of those hard nuts but not a lot of class

In footy (or sport in general) size isn’t the be all factor, but how you use your body and the positioning and correct technique in tackling or bumping.
Zak Butters is a good example from Port of a small type player but goes at it relentlessly and seems to somehow remain intact and plays on weekly.
