Wonder if @melbournefc will pick up Lachie Henderson. Good character, leadership and can play both ends. #demons20/20

 

 

Just say Burgess/Brukner heal everyone up, do we need another tall or would it just be a depth signing?

Could be a handy depth player, isn’t heaps in the way of key position depth on our list and could fill a need for a couple of seasons until a better option comes along

 

Had a good season or two at Carlton but looked completely lazy when at Geelong. I question his motivation levels, depth at best.

Is he better than Oscar??


  • Demonland changed the title to The Lachie Henderson Thread

A fairly smart player with decent skills but his body is shot. There's no mobility and speed left there. Some guys are just done by 30.

No thanks.

 

As cheap depth, yep. If we're serious about next year, we need experience and depth come the second half of the year. We've lost quite a bit of experience with Lewis. If May goes down or Omac isn't up to it and we need someone to play on a gorilla, he'd be a handy in.


His body is shot. Pass.

No Bloody way Known!!

Absolutely no.

He'd be our second bet key forward behind McDonald and our third best key defender behind May and Lever who are both injury prone so yes we should look at getting him.

Do you mean so he can be company for May and Lever in the medical room?

Depth or Death ?

A one year contract even rookie for a versatile KPF and KPD plus leadership

YES 

If we wanted a mature forward who couldn't get on the park, we would have kept Smith.

Probably true. I'm definitely in favour on paper but then I see that Geelong have re-signed Harry Taylor in preference. I wouldn't be in favour of picking up Taylor so thats  a good indicator.

Henderson better than Omac....make it happen!

And you are basing that assessment on  or just your opinion,if your opinion, very sad, Henderson is done physically

Geelong rarely get a delist wrong

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
