Think Allen or Ginnivan still a chance of playing should Murphy be rested late

Don’t need more than Moore and Frampton down back to curtail Cameron

Henry can be managed by Maynard

Then it’s just Stengel and the rare cameo from Rohan

Rohan's rare cameos only seem to occur against Collingwood.

Do they though?

Goals in the last 5 seasons against us:

2, 3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0

In those 5 seasons, his best returns have been:

1 x 5 goals
3 x 4 goals
9 x 3 goals (1 against us)

Played a pearler in the QF, but don't let that recency bias flat out misinform people.

That's a lot of research you put in

I wouldn't be too cocky about Maynard managing Henry. He played a great first half last week. He is definitely one who got away.

I certainly appreciate Henry

I was arguing 12 months ago that we needed to do all we could to keep him

He was elite for his age

But many on here we’re focused on his weaknesses.. low tackle numbers

And they’ve fallen into the same line of erroneous thinking with ginnivan

Another who we will lose if we are not careful

We didn’t lose Henry because we weren’t playing him, he had something like the second or third most games played from his draft year at the end of last year. He was always leaving regardless.

Wasn’t selected for 8 home and away games.. was unused sub in two games of his 15 games… plus missed finals

but if believing that helps you cope, then yeah 👍

There were Geelong posters on the trade board who knew his family who said this would happen to any club that drafted him, before he was even drafted. Kid was intent on playing at the cats with his brother. You’re kidding yourself if you genuinely believe a second year player left the club after 2 years with 25 games to his name because of lack of opportunity.

But if that helps you cope with the pain of rejection, have at it I guess.

I think Apex is correct that he was always leaving, but I still think he should have been played more often. May as well put him to good use while we have him.

Eh, who knows. If he plays the QF maybe he tanks so his beloved Cats get over us 😂

Who cares anyway. He and Johnson were probably a close call last year. Coaches picked Johnson. We were top 4, we sure as hell shouldn't have picked a team designed to appease one player - we were trying to win the flag.
 
Loved his last 2 Games in the VFL.

Winning Clearnces and using the Ball Well.

Loved his 2 Clearnces in 3rd qtr when get Ball and Run away from Ruck Contest

He could be a secret weapon before the end of this year. Definitely has the talent along with road runner type speed.
 
Last night when l got to the G, the screen inside was showing Allen as the sub. Looked to see who was missing in the side and thought that Ginni had made way for some reason.

Obviously a mistake on the screen.
