Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[Mollythedolly]

He is scoring goals but all of his other involvements have been poo.

Ash Johnson.

Johnson is bigger than Mihochek so hardly fits the small-medium tag.

Johnson is also the most likely replacement for JDG. I suppose we could use Tyler Brown to replace him instead.

He’s taller than Mihocek not sure about bigger. It’s not really relevant though it their playing styles that are comparable.

Wins and losses matter. We can play finals if we get a good run with injuries. We had a similar number of kids in the team in 2010.

Nah, not this year mate.

I think you're underselling us.

I think you're underselling us.

No way of telling on the back of 3 games, pointless speculating until we have got the bye behind us at the least.

Happy for him to continue in the seniors.

Hopefully he holds on to the first one and goes from there.

Checkers a similar weight advantage over Johnson as Johnson has over Henry. But now it’s playing styles. Moore arguably has a similar playing style, maybe we just swap them given size isn’t relevant.

Johnson’s has a weight advantage over Henry because Henry doesn’t have an AFL ready body yet.

So that's relevant because we're talking this year not some distant time in the future?

Just trying to keep up with the shifting goal posts.

There are not binary goal posts. There are many factors at play. If you can’t comprehend that it’s on you.

Agree that Henry needs time back in the seconds, probably lucky we’ve lost a few soldiers in the last week or so

Needs to work on being cleaner with hands and more mobile below his knees, lastly, stop flying for speckies from way back

Oh I’m keeping up. But I and the selectors continue to disagree with you. I’ll leave it there.

I said I wouldn’t drop him this week but it seems you didn’t catch that

 

[Mollythedolly]

Who is the small-medium forward replacing him? Bianco? Cal Brown?

Ash Johnson.

Not to me you didn’t. If you think I hang on your every word in your every post you’ll be sadly disappointed.

Make love not war.

Predicting a three to five goal game for the young fella this week. Should shut people up for at least a week or two.

I'm predicting athat from Ginnivan, including a goal celebration that gets tongues wagging.

Will it involve a thrusting action from his groin?

We can only hope.

Would a few weeks in defence or on the wing help him? I think he needs a few 20+ disposals game to get into the flow of things.

Not playing as the main target in the vfl would help him.. he needs support. Got double teamed most of the day, and still kicked 2. Im still perplexed why people are worried about him.

He won’t be getting support anytime soon. Cox back in seniors. He will be the main target up forward.

I don’t think people are worried about him. I think he’s shown glimpses and they just wish it happened more often.

He’s a kid. The unrealistic expectations of the 2020 class need to drop. They’ve had 2020 and 2021 affected, and IMO are tracking fine. I’d love to compare other clubs picks and see where they are at. There’s no standouts. Even ess, Cox and Perkins both much higher picks aren’t setting the world on fire, nor should they be.

Because the club is struggling so many just want the kids to be superstars and impact inmediately, not everyone is daicos unfortunately.

I understand what you’re saying. However, I don’t think a change in position to allow him to get his hands on the ball more often is a bad thing. He did play some midfield minutes in the preseason games.

Fair enough. I just think keeping him in his position of preference and gaining confidence is better. We’ve swapped far to many kids into different positions IMO
