A very Pfft player, does not make us a better side!

Plenty of ways to manipulate the list but so far we are:

-7: Spargo, Billings, Fullarton, Verrall, Sestan, Brown, Hore

+2: Henderson, Culley

Strongly linked with 2 more: Heath, Derksen

Probably drafting 2 more: White, Sinnema

Hopefully anyone of quality that we trade brings in quality picks and/or players, but I’d have Woey competing for that last spot in Feb (if he wants it)

I have no problem with those de listings, clearly over the last two year we lost out in the talent pool especially in the 20 to 30 range of players. Add VFL players who never showed more talent than VFL level e.g Verrall. I am no big fan of Spargo and he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons. He can walk away with a premiership medal that is something a lot never achieve. Changes need to be made!

New coach might give him a new lease on life.

Similar to a new Girlfriend.

🕺👌👍

You have to have a back up small guy to cover injuries that is not a 19 year old, and if he suddenly starts kicking 4 or 5 goals at Casey give him a go. However if a younger small guy plays well at Casey you'd give him a chance first. Insurance value. He is not on the senior list so makes some sense.

Odd debut season - picked for Round 1 after zero practice games alongside his new teammates, then got dropped and never looked like being recalled before his injury. Doesn't hurt to park some experience on the list but not holding my breath for him making a big difference in the future.

My one positive recollection of him in the seniors was when he nailed a set shot against North in an early season game when every man and his dog couldn't hit the side of a shed that afternoon.

Kind of forgot he was on the list to be truthful.

Congratulations Hendo!

So happy for him to have been offered another year. He works very hard and he deserves to be given a go under Kingy, and with the new game-plan. His positivity is infectious. Onya Jack!!!

Totally underwhelmed. I thought Sestan showed more.

Agree Cranky and disposal of high standard.

A bottom 6 player. The type which we need to improve upon.

Like to think with a new senior coach some unheralded players may get greater opportunities to flourish. After being overlooked or undernourished thru lack of exposure by the previous regime.

Jack Henderson does of course have a second bow as a trained agronomist. So his skills could be in greater demand with King Steven’s arrival. Who has expressed a desire to greet and meet not just the old hands but the new crop, first and second years’ green shoots. After all his alter ego did write Children of the 🌽.

And a very good one, at that…

My recollection of Jack is last minute fumble which allowed GWS to score & win the game.

I am neither here nor there on Henderson staying on, i probably think this is a direct result of Spargo leaving as to not completely wipe out our small forward depth though.

Noticed he didn't want to 'put all his eggs in one basket', Chook. You'd have life experience in that area? 😊
