Oppo Camp Oliver Henry (Traded to Geelong 2022)

[legendstatus]

Hang on, you’ve been told what the Cats are offering him?
This seems unlikely.

Nope I haven’t been told anything

I only think Reef and Johnson have better rounded games not Kreuger or McStay but the latter isn’t relevant because he’ll be a lock and not competition and it will be up to the rest to adapt around his specialised game style.

Henry’s class around the goals is great my issue is he’s not offering anything else.

McStay a lock?? Sounds like we're heading back to the old Quinton Lynch days.
Why would we lock in a guy barely able to get a kick in Queensland?

Stick with the development of the kids. I have no idea why we'd recruit and play McStay in preference to such promising kids.

That will come with time in the gym. In the context of where he is currently and what you’d expect of him playing the role he is I think he’s had a decent season. I mean he’s tracking along at the same rate as Stephenson did in his RS year in all bar possessions when getting a KPD most weeks v Stephenson being about 5th in line being serviced by a vastly superior midfield. He’ll be a lock next year

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

just sign him!

 

[Markfs]

He has a certain class his competition don’t have I don’t disagree there, I just think his competition have more well rounded games and are more suited to McRae’s style. Henry is Collingwood 2018 era style player.

Its strange how we've got three quarters of the current team that played in that era.....

but perhaps they're blossoming under the changed coaching structure?

 

[No SPIN]

If you're Ollie, where are you more likely to play seniors most regularly, at CFC or Geel?

In a fwd line with Hawkins, Cameron and Rohan how does Ollie get a game?

Hawkins and Rohan will be gone in the next couple of years and Cameron is 30 next year. Having said that im desperate for him to stay. Screw Geelong

Is Ollie really happy to play VFL until these guys move on - I doubt it.
So I'm not sure he's going anywhere

it would seem so... i wouldnt think henry would have done any better under buckley.... some people would like buckley's total honesty and some like to be under something more positive all the time. It was just a comment on a post... on a personal level, while i am 100% behind mcrae's bland positivities, I wouldn't like to be coached by someone who talks about the jumper etc. I'm not much into symbols. Eech to their own...

 

[nahnah]

you don't leave Collingwood when Collingwood are up and about, especially to go play country footy on a cow paddock

Yeah im hoping so too. Ollie would take Rohan's spot in a heartbeat though to play devils advocate again. We dont lose players to Geelong though. Surely

Geelong have been a much more successful side this millennium

 

[Jen2310]

I fixed it for you.

In reality, we don't lose players we want. And we definitely want.

 

[Pistol Night]

Well yeah, that's not really a debate. We don't lose players to them generally though. They rely on the come home factor to that shit hole

why would you leave out my geelong cheap shot though

 

[Bianconeri]

Which applies to Ollie

haha fair

 

[Jen2310]

Which applies to Ollie

Not really. He isn't home sick. In fact enjoys living in melbourne and his independance.

Perhaps we should target Jack

Depends on your definition of successful.

If its wins and losses then yes.

If its flags then no they aren't.

Im assuming he means since 2000? Which if not for the last quarter of the 2011 GF we would of been level pegging.

 

[jmac70]

Not really. As someone who grew up in Geelong I couldn’t wait to get out of that place.

In terms of the last 130 years or so we have them covered for wins and flags.

I never claimed Ollie was homesick himself, I just thought Geelong relying on the go home factor was an odd argument since he’s from there.
