I would be amazed if Henry plays another AFL game this year. He’s nowhere near the required level
I thought Henry did a couple of nice things and he tried hard.
The handball under pressure in the third was really good
He will be in and out for a while.

What a night both my NRL team and Freo won tonight. Great start to the weekend.
Watched the first half on my phone.
We just look like a well oiled machine atm. No matter who is playing everyone knows what there role is. Top 4 should be aim from here we are good enough.
I hope covid stays away for that fortnight against Brisbane and Melbourne. I think we will give it a shake if we are close to full strength.
The fact we knocked another 6 off the covid list means a third of the squad have had it. So thats 6 less we have to worry about at our next outbreak.
And Gerard wheatley will be in shock he thought we were at tipping point with covid. Almost to the point we were at a disadvantage.

I mean, remove 4 senior players from any side and its going to seriously dent their average games played.
We're performing light years ahead of where our list profile suggests we should be.

In all honesty the round 2 game of WC vs Roos was potentially the worst AFL / VFL footy I reckon I’ve ever seen played.
One of the highlights for me was Brodies kicking. He hit targets at will tonight - very few hack kicks out of the contest and instead backed himself to take on the tackler, throw a fend and deliver it on a silver platter all night.
It was a truly A grade performance from him.

Thoughts on players...
- it only took me two games to forget how good Chapman is. Seriously, this guy is one of the best players we've ever drafted and manages to stand out in a team full of young talent as being a cut above the rest. I hope I'm not underselling him when I say he's like MJ and Roger got together and had a baby with Fyfe
- Brayshaw continues to make me feel stupid by being so much better than the safe, vanilla Masten clone I initially thought we'd drafted. I like to regularly remind myself of my early expectations of him to keep myself grounded about what a poor judge of talent I am
- Banfield - first half I was like 'this guy is making me look like an idiot', second half I was like 'this guy is exactly what I thought he is'. Regardless, it's handy when someone who kicks two goals a game is your emergency depth
- Darcy absolutely monstered a guy who was considered one of the best rucks in the game not that long ago
- Serong isn't getting the same clean ball he did last year but he's still a ferocious competitor affecting the contest around the stoppages
- Amiss pretty much matched my expectations - looked like he has the talent for AFL while also looking like it was too early for him
- Same could be said about Henry actually

I've missed you Esti.
Just shows enough to suggest that when it clicks he'll be a huge asset.
Gotta love the old "I'm not gonna" claim, then do anyway.
I'm not sure how "so many have gone past
him", when he's barely had a chance to start. Plus he's effectively restarting somewhat, with shifting positions already.
He'll continue his development in the WAFL, hopefully with more continuity than he's had. He'll be fine with a bit of confidence and feeling more at home in senior ranks.

Serong is quite the leader out there. He was lining the team up behind Amiss for that set shot ready to mob him and then later when Young slotted that one on the run he was almost dragging Schultz into getting to Young for a pump up.
Drives high standards that Caleb. Good.

You werent alone in the Chapman thing, it was doing my head in reading people not have Chappy best 22. Insanity, the guy is an auto-pick the rest of his 350 game career
Not saying anything hugely original here, but there’s something seriously wrong with this ranking points system if it has Goldstein above Darcy. Sure Goldy tried hard, but Swaggy was unstoppable.

Firstly, I’d like to say that Ziebell is a campaigner and that was embarrassing from a club captain. Beyond that, beautiful stuff, being slightly whelmed by the performance and still winning by 78 points is a pretty ****ing handy spot to be in.
I completely take back my complaints at the ground it wasn’t a 100 point win upon realising that, proud of the boys
Was talking to Ryan post game on the ground so was up and moving at least
good effort from you to post after your effort on the ground
weren’t we actually below them in both somehow?Reminder also that we were on par with North in terms of experience and average age tonight
The little things like calling the boys in for Young’s first goal was heartwarming stuff.
For the rest of the career the question is almost certainly where he’ll play instead of if he’ll play. What a ****ing gun
How good of a play was it when Amiss kicks it, almost goes in for a point - O'Driscoll TAPS IT BACK THE **** INTO PLAY(!) to Cox who snaps it through!

Not only that but he both overran the ball after knocking it back and then beat the opponent to it... againHow good of a play was it when Amiss kicks it, almost goes in for a point - O'Driscoll TAPS IT BACK THE fu** INTO PLAY(!) to Cox who snaps it through!
Great bit of desperation
