Busy bye the ideal refresher as Henry, Saints, set sights to Power
A refreshed Liam Henry is ready to take on Port Adelaide to kick off St Kilda's post-bye run, expecting the Power to come out firing after an eventful week.www.saints.com.au
TLDR: I think Liam Henry wanted to move to St Kilda football club because of the reputation of St Kilda the suburb.
Last week Henry spent 10 minutes talking to the media. Henry IMO is currently outrageously overrated and is trading at a ridiculous price to earnings ratio.
How I would love to short Henry stock. The media seem to love him because he is recognisable and his interest in fashion makes for a nice human interest story.
I've watched his games closely and he does SFA hovering a few metres in front of the contest asking someone to give it to him.
He's averaging 0.7 goals a game but when he does happen to kick one or two they seem more memorable to everyone for some reason. Commentators will then attribute qualities to Henry's game that are true not to reality but to the narrative of a fast outside skillful indigenous player with tremendous vision and classy execution.
I can see where the misattribution comes from. High draft pick, skinny, indigenous, left a defense focussed club and seems to love the limelight.
The bizarro thing for me is that he went to a Ross Lyon coached St Kilda team. He said it was a dream come true to have played in front of 70000 at the MCG. It doesn't seem to make sense but I think I've got it figured out.
In the presser there is a weird (for a footballer) moment where he talks about liking it better in the colder Melbourne climate. He said this was because it allows you to wear puffer jackets and suits as opposed to Perth and Broome where there isn't much you can do to dress up in shorts and a singlet.

Heh
"Fashion Reasons"
All laughing aside I think this is fairly accurate. I don't think it's unreasonable Henry might end up delisted inside 3, maybe 4 years from now having barely made a dent in the football side of things; .... if he finds fashion/modelling and that world an area of success......good luck to him. But based on current output, effort and desire he was 100% no longer a fit for Freo even if he wanted to stay. I know the club wanted him to stay, but I'm glad he's gone - peacock player, flashing his false dawn wares. He wasn't recruited to be, but even so - he's no difference maker at the Saints, they got lured by something they found irresistible....which clearly isn't there. Probably a strange trade for them in retrospect. He chased the bright lights/big city aspect of things over East and it's probably only a matter of time before it's a distraction to his football, which I get the feeling only suits him if he looks like a flash in the pan (he occasionally hits the "spotlight" with a nice move/goal...whatever) and robotic sycophants in the commentary box are mystifyingly fapping over him. Based on current trajectory, a pick 25 or higher is deliciously overs. He is (and probably was always going to be..) vastly overrated and not that football-focused I'd imagine![]()

Apparently Hamling is playing forward in the Swans 2’s & kicked 5 last week.
Always interesting comparing the guys who are happy to play anywhere any role as long as it benefits the team vs the guys who care more about their own game than the team game.Wow listening to the press conference is even more jarring re moving east to wear puffer jackets lol. Besides that, he is definitely much better in front of the mic this year
Actually pretty impressed with how positive he was about Freo. I think tbf he probably has a point about Jlo being a system coach which doesn't suit him as well. Pretty happy with how everything landed overall.
Speculating obviously, but I'd suggest Chopper was having a lend of JS there. But he took it seriously. Which should reinforce to us all we need to be very careful in the workplace when we make jokes.
Dixon is in Victoria? Interesting.He is 12th on the VFL goalkicking stats with 21.9 from 11 games (not sure how many of those as a forward).
Hugh Dixon is 4th with 25.15 from 13 games.
He was far too lazy in his time at Fremantle.Dixon is in Victoria? Interesting.
Always talented, just work ethic/tank not there
Seven coaches votes in R16Lobb is now a key defender. Guess Jl never played him in his best position.

He tried to tell us JL had NFI and we didn't listen.Lobb is now a key defender. Guess Jl never played him in his best position.
