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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
