I'll readily admit I was very doubtful he'd make the team when he was first named on the extended Thursday night bench because I've watched a fair bit of BHH games and while HH showed his clean, quick hands he hardly ever did anything that screamed AFL ready. I felt he was at the very least another full pre-season away from getting a call-up.
How very wrong I was. Seems some people just need that push into the limelight to perform, and his performance was so very, very good.
And on top of all that, regardless of how many times I saw him at City Oval he never looked like a 195cm player.
More strength to you Henry.

He looks very at home on the big field that is the MCG which is weird because…

If this was the off-season that above post would be a thread. * I hate off-season

I dont too fixated on players heights .....but Day would be the shortest 191cm person I've seen .
I think he has grown a bit looks closer to 6'4 in the old scale

HIs quickness of mind and hand was amazing to watch, and i think players who have that natural meter of space because they think so quickly don't need the leg speed. What does need is an ability to cover more miles than anyone else so he can get to contests.
The midfield is now deeper than we have had for many many years.
What I liked the most was his temperament. No nerves was calm and quietly confident. That's an AFL trait right there. Very pleased we gave him a game as that will fuel real belief for 2024.

Correct weight. He has two elite afl traits (quick hands and time and space in traffic) get the rest of his game up to a C+ B level and we are looking at a serious player. Will need to, obviously, find a second position also
What was great as well is that as we saw due to his height he pops up as a target inside F50 ala the Breust kick. Sides will have to mark him closely when he drifts fwd which will help create space for others.
Don't think we can afford to carry an undersized ruck.

I think someone else already mentioned it and its a true statement. His game didn't change from u18s to VFL to AFL. The faster pace of the AFL didn't bother him when gaining possession and disposing it. This is a fundamental advantage for any young player. He just didn't seem flustered or rushed at AFL level. Lots to like from the kid. Pendles is a very good nick name for him

He's going to be a big strong unit too. Can see him being able to stand up in the tackle in a few years and be really hard to stop giving off possession.
Will be very handy if he develops a connection with noodle
He's the fifth best player in the competition.
What? What the hell are you talking about Roby?
Well.. He ranks 5th in the competition for Score Involments percentage behind, Trac, Curnow, Kelly and Greene.
So, yep, 5th best player in the comp. Convince me otherwise.

Not that I give a flying fcuk but thought Henry Houdini played a superior game to that of the Rnd 23 Rising Star Matt Johnson
Like AA (AllAustralian Anonymous) selections I never pay them that much attention as it’s a boys club type mentality process.
All I really care about is Premiership’s- nothing more , nothing less.
Can guarantee Houdini will have his fair share in the years to come - mark my words

He did play a better game, but Johnson got in over a good year.
Why this Hawk's debut had Where's Wally on his feet
The younger sibling in a proud football family, Henry Hustwaite's debut had his loved ones - and a group of pub patrons - in raptures
He has a very good temperament and upside.

Q: I know he is likely going to be an inside mid but can we get him in as a third tall forward? Spots are hard to find in the middle
