I saw enough from him to want to give him more opportunities. 

It's little wonder JT had his eye on him for a while.

    He is ready made, highly skilled, great work rate and hungry.

    You can't ask or get better than that.

    Great pick up along with his Werribee team mate AJ.

    Clean player with a good bit of agility and pace. Got caught out of position a bit on defensive transition but not unexpected for his first game. 

    Deserves more opportunity but will face a bit of competition with Spargo and Tholstrup once they return from their respective injuries.

    That competition for spots will be great.

    If Spargo can get back to his best, I'd certainly see him as the closeset competition to Henderson, but no doubt Tholstrup will also heat things up as he matures and gains in confidence.  Hendo looks to have that maturity, hardness and composure to play at the top level already sorted.

    If only he didn't slightly overcook that pass around the 25 second mark, it would have been the perfect centring kick and forward 50 entry. 

    Still great signs for me that he had the skills and awareness to make space for himself at half forward and then lower the eyes to hit up a great leading option and not just chip it deep into the pocket to get bottled up or a low percentage shot on goal.

    Also took whoever it was to be making the lead straight down the ground giving the option.  Noticed that Jefferson provided that several times for us and hopefully it is team directive in our game plan over the pre-season marking an improvement in how we move the ball into forward 50.

    Pretty disappointing after a reasonable debut. Seems to lack aggression, can't stay on his feet and is hesitant in his decision making.

    I think he's still a decent squad based player, but hard to tell given everyone has been a bit toilet.

    Yeah I think it’s time he goes to Casey. If you’re getting 4 touches a game as a small forward you’d be wanting to impact the scoreboard, but he had 0 score involvements and was correctly subbed out.

    We need to get some height into our forward line. The likes of Spargo, Sharp and Henderson aren’t giving us much.

    Another to add to the large bucket of small forwards who can't score goals consistently. Can't have 4 of them in your team every week.

    I'm not sure what his point of difference is that will allow him to be a quality AFL player. He hasn't kicked or assisted on a goal in the past three weeks, so is basically a passenger at this point.

    He isn't quick, he is shorter than ideal, doesn't apply great tackle pressure, doesn't kick goals, doesn't win his own football.

    Basically another Spargo, and we already have one more of those than is required.

    some harsh comments here. first 4 games playing AFL were decent. had a quiet one on the weekend. so be it. looks a good user and given our shizen running patterns, its not a bad start.

    having said that he and spargo shouldnt both be playing with Kozzie and Chandler in the side. id keep him in and drop Spargo.

    Spargo had 2 GAs on the weekend. I'm happy for Hendo to be his understudy at present.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
