Player Watch Ned McHenry

[Mr_Moogle]

Speaking of maturity, Ned is a small stature guy who plays above his weight division every game. Given this, a couple of extra years is needed for him to reach his physical peak. Compared to the man child types who are ready to go from a younger age.

Ned is as big as he's ever going to be.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Ned is as big as he's ever going to be.

That's okay. Eddie wasn't a big fella either.
Ned will get stronger as he fully develops a mature mans body. Is he 22years old now? That's still pretty young.

I think the improvement needed for Ned to become a solid AFL player would come from other places. eg. skills, discipline and composure. I don't see a lot of physical development left in him tbh. He already has the aerobic part sorted too.

I’ll give you discipline, composure and even add awareness, but I think his skills (within his limitations) are there. When composed, he’s arguably one of our best kicks going inside 50, honestly (which doesn’t say a whole lot, but it shows the base kicking skills are at least there). It’s just a matter of seeing it on a consistent basis

 

[Danger_zone]

Well, that's just one. I stand by my statement.

Zac Bailey?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Zac Bailey?

I think he’s being sarcastic

 

[Coopers]

I think he’s being sarcastic

Well, it's less funny when you point it out

ROB
Tex
Dusty
Hawkins
Sinclair
Lyons
Rankine

Maybe I missed your sarcasm

Well that's just 10 players.

Zac Bailey?

Well Ok, 11 players in the history of AFL that improved after 3 years.

But surely there's no more.

 

[Coopers]

Yeah you're posting crap?

I'd also like to point out that never in the history of bigfooty have I done anything like that.

 

[CrowFrenzy]

The kid has massive flaws in his game but one of the most courageous young Crows players I have seen. Does he get a pass mark for the year, probably not. Next year will be huge for him.

 

[cmndstab]

It's not always easy to tell.

It kinda is though.

 

[FR0GGY]

It's not always easy to tell.

Definitely not no

Next year we should have rankine, rachele and mcadam up and running.... so hopefully mchenry will not get a game.

 

[Redleg Crow]

I don’t care how many years he has played, he is what he is. A bloke who can’t kick over 30m and can’t hit a target. A third round pick who we took in the first round.

Include him in a trade to GC or North or the Dogs

 

[MrBarry]

Yeah just awful, I want him gone.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Get this spud of our list. He isn't getting any better.

 

[hippyhippy]

A third round pick who we took in the first round.

I don't understand... how could the recruiters get it so wrong. He has absolutely no skills. Absolutely none. No awareness, the one thing which everyone thought he brought, fwd pressure, non existent.... absolute failure recruiting.

How the hell could they take Turner over Carmichael as well. Fmd.

 

[huludicidal]

Small, slow, clumsy, undisciplined, poor decision maker, poor field kicking accuracy, unbelievably poor kicking penetration, shithouse tackler, inaccurate shot for goal, and terrible in all facets under pressure.

Yep, we’ll take him in the first round thanks. He really tries hard. What a monumentally stupid pick.

Combine that with taking midfield maestro Chayce Jones

instead of Z Butters, AND trading another first rounder in this draft for what ended up being McAsey (and could have been Serong, W Day or K Pickett), and it’s pretty easy to see why we are where we are.

I bet he comes from a great family though. Hope they support his amateur league career which will commence in 2025 once his ridiculous AFL contract expires.

 

[Dewy006]

The thing with Ned is that he always looks his best once the sting has gone out of the game. Once it slows down and things open up he looks like a competent AFL Player. It’s when there’s high pressure and heat on that he fumbles, drops marks, misses targets. If we ever do get to play finals again he would be an absolute liability.

 

[Southerntakeover]

His short kick **** up in the first was a major turning point.

Not good enough, nothing to project. Get him gone.

 

[Scorpus]

Contracted for 2 more years

 

[Drummond]

Disgusting player, just putrid.

 

[dogs105]

Poor bloke had a shocker tonight.
