List Mgmt. Thanks Hendo

[catempire]

Time is right. 89 games in the hoops.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Time is right.

Has been a pretty reliable player for us, and has always given 100%, even when asked to do a job above his pay grade.

 

[Matthew Jelley]

Definitely a trade win for us, very important player for the last couple of years especially

 

[Poetic Justice]

Up & down at times but has been a great member of our current squad.

Thanks Hendo!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good servant. Right time indeed

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Overall, I think Hendo's career at the Cats has been pretty good. He was cooked by the end of this year and I think it's a good idea he retires now. His comeback from being delisted then selected as a rookie is legendary and shows the quality of the man and the player he was. I wish him well for his future and thanks for being such a fine clubman.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Well played Hendo.

Pity we couldn't get 11 more games to secure any future offspring.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Been a good member of the team for a long time but the time was right for sure.

 

[cats_09]

Congrats Hendo and good luck in retirement

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would have loved to see him get to 100 games but the time is right...the fantastic footy hes played after being delisted 2 years ago shows his work ethic and you wouldnt meet a nicer team first bloke..sad we couldnt get him a flag. Will leave a big hole in our defence next year.

 

[Chinacats]

solid last two years. At least we have the perfect replacement. Freddy time to step up! Wait.....

That's all on Kreugs, though. Surely he can see that there's a massive vacancy for a KPD at the Cattery for 2022 and beyond. Story goes that he wants to play forward and that is a major factor in his desire to head off to the Pies.

Clearly his call, not the club's.

 

[allrighty]

Comes from a great local family so good bones in him. Well done on getting everything out of himself and putting in a really good last year with us.

 

[BotsMaster]

Well done Hendo on a great career and I look forward to his move into the Geelong assistant coaching ranks

 

[Strange Cat]

Made the right call , thanks for your time Hendo he should walk away from the game happy with what he achieved

 

[TomsBulgingDisc]

Certainly not the worst player to pull on the hoops. Good career despite his injury history.

 

[cats_09]

 

[Down at K Park]

Thanks hendo. Made the right call.

Please step forward mr dekoning.

 

[Romeoh1]

Good luck and thanks Hendo.

 

[Daitro]

We played him in every game till the bye and he played some very good football. Post-bye he was a little beat up and less convincing. I wish we would play our veterans the complete opposite. Play them sporadically in games here and there before the bye and then start cementing them in the lead up to the finals. Half of them don't need to play more than 12-15 games. We keep driving them into the ground ala Ablett/ Selwood the last couple years. Anyhoo thanks for the memories/ efforts good sir, you shouldered a lot of the load this year with Taylor gone and did it admirably.

 

[My Tilly]

Very courageous footballer.
Maligned his time at Carlton but you cannot blame him for wanting out and he was a very solid and serviceable player for us.

Wish him well in the next chapter of his life

 

[Live in hope]

Right time for Hendo to retire. Overall was good pickup, extremely reliable for long stretches of games, only knocks was facing quick delivery one-out against monster forwards (and that’s pretty difficult for most defenders) and susceptibility to injury. Bad end to the season, but took a huge battering in a couple of games at end of H&A which wouldn’t have helped. Wonder if Hendo retiring and Scarlett leaving will give Freddie second thoughts on leaving.

 

[Larry Donohue]

I think Henderson still had more in him. Was really solid in our defense and we will miss his steadiness and accurate disposal hitting targets in space.
Fine player

I suspect that there’s more going on off field for him personally that forced his hand

I think this is 90% of what drove him to retire.
