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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
