Makes his way out of traffic very well & he seems to consciously weight kicks to the advantage of his target. Granted, he doesn't execute every kick, but shows that he's thinking & composed with ball in hand.
He's the anti-Worpel, in that regard.
Sam mentioned last night that Henry has the best hands in the draft, he said that there’s already been moments at training where the coaches have been quite surprised at how well he can find targets by hand, how clean he is in the contest, and at his size how it doesn’t matter if he has to go under or over the tackler. Sam seems like a fan.
That's who I thought of as well, when I saw his highlights video.His highlight passage of play last week that I mentioned in my post left me and two fellow posters here impressed.
It was a good mix of skill and timing in one smooth motion. Kind of reminded me of Pendles (time warp) and Burgoyne (perfect timing of his run).
Ahhhhh couldn't resist. Thanks for a good laugh Bris.Better be or we are screwed![]()
Husthwaite, Weddle and Ramsden
Sounds like a northern Britain law firm that’s been there 150 years

Henry Husthwaite came to Old Melbourne Town with the greatest of expectations and along the way made a great friend in Mr Weddle and thwarted the devious machinations of the villainous Colonel Ramsden.

I think Ramsden is related to an Egyptian King.Ramsden sounds like the proprietor of a 100 year old northern English fish and chip emporium.
Oh hold on...
Hustwaite is a good ball winner in tight and distributor by hand and foot what we have been crying out for. Imagine him freeing newk and mackenzie to drill inside 50, or backwards to CJ or Bailey MacDonald off the hbf for the next decade plus - I think he’s a steal!Oddly excited about this bloke and his work in close
Lacks speed and athleticism.Showed a fair bit in the first intraclub. Would be expected to get at least a couple games this season.
General consensus was he was rated late first/early second in this years crop but slid all the way to 37. Any draft gurus know what traits or lack thereof could have caused this?
Davo-27 may be able to shed some light?
I don't think it will matter if he creates his own time and space.Lacks speed and athleticism.
Has smarts and skill.
Can he make it without burst speed?
We'll see, but he has made a strong early impression.
Absolutely.He's class.
Can see the Pendles comparisons.
I think most people had him around the early 2nd round, I think Cal liked him as a late 1st, I think he may have slid a bit after having some ordinary late season form, maybe ran out of petrol tickets and it saw him slide a little, but as were seeing he has some ability in tight and can pinch hit as an interceptor med/tall Def as well if needed.Showed a fair bit in the first intraclub. Would be expected to get at least a couple games this season.
