[dazzledavey36 55,912]

Werribee small forward who's recently done a medical at the Dees according to the Hun.

Yes - as discussed in the pick 79/83 thread. Really hoping we pick him...

[demoncat 1,629]

I’d love to get some more goals out of our small forwards not named Kozzie - so I reckon Jack would be a great get

Hopefully he’s available at our last pick 🙏

[Colm 2,195]

Interesting that he’s been linked along with the Berry. Seems a small forward is on our wish list. 
Starting  to look like we will go with two mids, a tall and a small forward with our pick in draft and rookies

[spirit of norm smith 16,617]

We watch on tomorrow night to see.  Henderson might get his chance.

VFL Showreel, GF: Jack Henderson highlights

He's got a bit of zip and x factor around stoppage. Little bit Papley-esque, dare I say it.

[640MD 3,494]

Pardon a question I should know the answer to.

But did Werribee  win their GF

Anyway nice kick from the 50m line went through 1/2 way up the goal posts. So nice kick!

Looks like he is a bit older than 18 so has been made to work,

Not a bad thing at all.

[Palace Dees 2,352]

Bit of an insight as to who is is as a player and person. Seems versatile too.

[Red and Blue Flame 242]

Looking unlikely now according to the man himself given we picked two mids with picks 6 and 11.

Here's hoping we still pick him

I'm guessing we're going a tall?

[Red and Blue Flame 242]

Seems that way - but I'd rather take Jack Henderson. 

Can take Riak Andrew as a rookie and the possibility of White next year F/S.

He reminds me of that kid in junior footy who probably studied every single way that an oval shaped ball can bounce. Whether it comes to gathering it or kicking bouncers.

[DeeSpencer 26,329]

With Lindsay probably starting half back and Langford likely starting out as a medium forward/rotational mid I still think the list balance would be well served with a running forward/mid.

Especially if we get Riak through to the Cat B list.

 

[JTR 2,887]

Like the sound of him.

Would be very handy to have a small forward who is also capable of going down back to play a lock down role on opposition smalls.

Jack Henderson still a chance in the rookie draft tomorrow for the Demons?

I don't think we have any spots. We retained all six 2024 rookies without drafting any of them to the primary list, so we're still full.

Disappointing - thought he could have come in and had a Shaun Mannagh type impact

very disappointed - I'm sure Johnson will be great but shattered for Jack

I thought we had one spot after elevating Melksham to the senior list?

[Red and Blue Flame 242]

We have 4 rookies (Verrall, Sestan, Hore, Brown) plus AMW (cat B) and then Kentfield (MSD Rookie). Max is 6 cat A and then 2 cat b...

Ricky Mentha might count as a cat b/nga?

[Red and Blue Flame 242]

Having spoken to a Werribee coach about Hendo missing, he said it was between Johnson and Hendo.

Said we can be VERY excited about Johnson, who comes into a full time environment with plenty of room for improvement and stops bending over/working all day as a tradie. Said he is an absolute brute who can play forward in the AFL almost straight away.

This is brilliant news and means we could rookie Hendo.

FWIW, it means Yze misses and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. F/S can be picked up beyond 18yo...

I think we are done, R&BF.

Thanks for the insight from the Bees coach

Didn't see the point of re-signing Hore as a rookie. Petty and Turner can play back if the need arises, and we have ample key forwards on our list to replace them. Hore is 29 and had an injury interrupted season. Can't see any upside in the player we previously delisted.

From what I saw of the Werribee finals, Henderson looks like a real talent, whilst Johnson didn't look AFL level.

Our list management continues to be puzzling.
