Welcome to Demonland: Jack Henderson

[Pennant St Dee 13,406]

Welcome aboard Jack (Hendo). 

Best of luck, earned your opportunity the hard way.

 

[Ollie fan 3,639]

It certainly looks like he has the ability. It will be whether he has the desire and determination. 🤞🤞

Was disappointed when we didn't draft him. He addresses a need, and I reckon he'll play a lot of senior football this year.

Haha you’ve got this the wrong way round OF. The second bit is not in question at all.

The first bit, we’ll see!

Could help to fill a gap we've had since Harmes left and we lost Angus😪.

Yeah. Don’t mind the Bee Dees - as long as it’s not a Tragedy, and they’re not just Staying Alive.

I just watched his show reel. Is there any doubt at all? He's got bargain-basement written all over him. Anyone have his Brownlow odds?

Welcome aboard the Dee Train Jack Henderson just in time to make a big impact and shore up our stocks. Good luck Jack.

Small forward, the game is tilting in that direction 

Welcome Jack…

Comming through as a rookie / secondary list type player like Harmes too. 

Still dispointed that things went somewhat south between Harmes and the club in the end.  Though I haven't really watched many of his games for the Dogs, he still seems to be getting a senior game there and thought we could have used the depth and his hard edge and attacking dare in our team last season.  All the same, I think it's also good (perhaps for all involved) that we let him go, even just from the perspective if list balance age profile wise.

Think he only played  9 last year.

Understand.  So probably frindge, not best 22 (similar to where he ended up with us).  The thing being, we could have done with a findge mid to provide depth last season, as I'm fairly sure he would have given us way more than Laurie Vs GWS and say maybe a game we lost by a few points against Brisbane etc and might have tipped us into playing finals contention... not that we might have had that much impact with the way our season ended.

In some respects I think it was actually better for us not to make finals last year.  Few better draft picks and extended presason for Oliver and whoever else was carrying injuries and tires from x3 intense seasons running right to the pointy end.

A list really needs top 28-30 so these so called fringe players are vital.

Has there been an official announcement anywhere or are we just relying on media commentary? I can find nothing on the MFC or AFL websites (although both sites are so poor it could be there).

The media is always right, isn't it?

[Little Goffy 14,762]

There's something strange and impressive about some of his tackles. It is like the opponent goes docile, just accepting 'yep, I'm tackled, oh well'.

If footy doesn't work out he could earn just as much as a shearer with that skill... does he have quick hands?

[BDA 23,020]

good luck young man

Thanks - but that article is still conjecturing. It may well be correct, but it's not an official statement.

Welcome aboard! Great goal sense and a very good mark for his height but not overly quick.  

Fills a need.
