Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[Chrispiesssss]

For me it was comparable to Billy’s goal after the siren against the Bombers.
Both times I thought my eardrum was going to burst!

Completely agree. First and only time I’ve ever ran to the fence from 10 rows back!!

Got beer spilled all over me, but absolutely worth it.

just quietly....anyone know why he was given that 50 and another shot at goal in the 3rd quarter?

Ollie Henry, who's she?

The free kick was for high contact (Murphy barely grazed his shoulder in a marking contest in the goal square) and I think the 50 was for Maynard mouthing off.

“In the goalsquare” is generous. “A metre over the goal line” perhaps.

God I can't stand him

Yes I noticed that too.
The only thing I came up with is the Goal Umpire hadn’t signalled a behind so it was still considered part of play.

The jazz hands. I’m still laughing

ed watching him have a Riewoldt moment

But at the end of the day he had a solid game

• 15 disposals at over 93% DE…10 of which contested…
• 6 marks…including 2 contested
• 2 clearances
• 2 goals… should’ve been 3
• 2 tackles

I maintain what I’ve said all along… he’s no dud… he’ll have a good career at Geelong

He will but what a punchable face

 

[Kappa]

He showed tonight he's gonna be a superstar in a few years.

But we move on.

 

[jc37]

Who would he have replaced in the side tonight? and would you have him ahead of Ginnivan?

Henry would've been playing VFL all year barring injury if he was still with us.

He'll probably have a good career in the end, but at the moment we don't miss him in the slightest.

I'd have him ahead of Ginnivan as upside on him is far higher than Jack. both have super high footy iqs.
I think he would be in our side he would be very good in defence and he is potentially a 40-50 goal a year forward. McInness to me is a 20-30 goal fwd.
To me he is a huge loss. Massive traitor and I hate him as he clearly played us and we ended up getting dudded at the trade table.

Should have been 1 goal actually…. The Murphy free should never have been paid, even then he missed from two metres out and only got a second due to Maynard gobbing off.

The Moore one was his own fault due to showboating

The only legit goal he kicked was when the Collingwood defence was a shambles and he marked uncontested 25 out.

But yes he has talent. Hence why we held out to get a Brownlow medallist as steakknives.

Ginnivan is already a 40 goal forward

Could just have easily have been one goal. Dubious free on the behind line, which he initially didn’t take advantage of by missing the first set shot.

Talented player, but bloody soft. When it was his turn to go and win the hard in the first minute he hesitated and took short steps.

A bit was made about Henry running away from the scuffle that involved Ginnivan last year, however he done the same at quarter time last night.

 

[barrackers]

Lol. At least his mum will tuck him in tonight.View attachment 1632202

Did someone in the crowd ask him how much a vline ticket costs from March 31?

 

[sr36]

Would have kicked more for us if he could have earned frees when the ball was already out of play. What a couple of gifts he got tonight. Credit for his tackle on Sidebottom but other than that, didn’t do a lot.

Good second half. His field kicking has improved.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Who would you drop to bring Ollie into our side - I'd prefer Reef's game to Ollie's, two soft goals with some nice marks vs Reef who really showed some class.

In retrospect, it's easy to say Ollie would not have got a game. I'd have dropped WHE and given his role to someone else.

He played in a losing team and had decent stats. Actually, I could see him replacing Howe in defence..

 

[stormskye]

He played a decent game, was gifted a couple of easy ones. He’s going to be a good player for them. But still has defensive weaknesses that doesn’t suit us

Should have been 0

Can we start referring to Ollie as jazz hands?

The thing with Ollie is for all his skill he is as soft as they come.

The thread needs to be renamed!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

we ended up getting dudded at the trade table.

I completely reject that theory. Ed Allen will hopefully be a very good player whilst Tom Mitchell already is elite . And subsidised.

Geelong gave away a top 20 draftee to enable the Mitchell part of the deal, plus threw away most of next years picks to land pick 25 in the first place.
