Agreed. Plus just feels like its a matter of time when he puts it all together. Just needs to play. WHE then? he can be the sub, which would work perfectly given he can play in multiple positions.

If we were choosing between Henry or WHE I'd choose WHE. Only because I feel like he too can give wing minutes and further push J Daicos and Sidebottom forward.
yep - with Ash, Checkers, Ginn, McCreery, Jamie all going down, I think the likes of Henry and even WHE may get a reprieve (even though I had them as outs a few days ago)
OUT - Mihochek Ginnivan Elliott Henry Cameron Madgen
IN - Krueger DeGoey Adams Poulter Roughead Cox
Six changes is probably at least one too many but IMO Henry badly needs a rest. His output slipped last week and he will be lucky to touch it against a quality backline in humid Brisbane.
Poulter to come in and play wing, releasing Sidebottom to play forward.
Cameron was really disappointing last week, with his only goal coming from a handball receive on the goal line. Cox to replace him and play at FF, to draw the key defenders to him, giving Krueger a bit more freedom to roam.
Somehow Cal Brown survives for another game, despite a very bland, beige performance last week. Has cockroach-like survival skills!
Lions by about 40 pts.

Yup - those ins were my initial feel last Saturday, but with Checkers and Ginn now forced out, we may find a couple of those suggested outs hanging on

I reckon Henry/Reef will be the sub.. if they get a run against Bris great if not they'll come back down and play a full VFL game on the Saturday.
Gave us a sneaky chance before Mihochek went out and Elliott wrecked his shoulder. I'd love to see our forward line operate with DeGoey, Elliott, McCreery, Kreuger, Cox and Mihocek up front.
His output has slipped and he’s looking tired, so the likelihood of Henry kicking a bag against a very settled Brisbane backline on their home deck looks very slim to me.
Rd 1-3 Henry averaged about 11 disposals, about 2 goals and about 2 tackles. Rd 4 he struggled to get near it, had only 6 disposals, 1 goal and zero tackles.

Watch how much we struggle without Checkers forward of the ball. The most underrated player on our list
Pagan's paddock with DeGoey. We win by 5 goals.
Agreed. He is one of the best bang-for-buck recruits in 20 years. Always finds a way to take contested marks and kick a couple of goals for us, even when undersized. Hard to see where we can get 10+ goals from this week.

So one bad game so we cut him? Right
Especially in a team with either the most defensive mindset or worst delivery in the comp…or both.

I still can’t understand the point of naming one of our first or second year players as the medical sub - how does this help their development in any way?
I’d have one of the Browns as sub

WHE for mine lol He is flexible.
My thoughts exactly…
If Roughead returns is there really any defensive need to retain Madgen alongside Moore, Howe and Maynard?
I guess if we wanted to shift Howe forward for 1 week to help cover for the loss of Mihocek and Elliott it might be warranted or how about giving Maynard a run with role on Neale?
Feel like we need to mix it up this week given the outs and probably have little to lose in the process.

Y’know, Roughead has played as a marking forward before…

If you’re holding a forward in their first game in that role accountable for being “loose” on their opponent I think what impressed me is largely irrelevant because we’re not only on different pages, but reading from different books in different dimensions. What’s next Howe’s out because he didn’t hit the scoreboard? Lipinski because he didn’t register a hitout?
EFA.

Let’s not go down that awful path again…
We tried Madgen as a forward once too.
Roughead is required on Daniher for mine.
