Autopsy Welcome to Freo Liam Henry – Fremantle’s 3rd 2019 National Draft Pick [Match bid Pick #9]

[apuchar]

What's to stop us from picking him up in the draft before St Kilda then?

Nothing but he won't get past Hawthorn

 

[Dockernut]

Nothing but he won't get past Hawthorn

I’m genuinely easy either way. If he nets us something from the Aints great, if he walks to a draft and doesn’t get to where he’s been promised/wants to go I’m cool with that too.

I don't even know why Bell asked him what his preferred club was. He just wanted to live in Melbourne with his mates.

Nothing but no team would ever have the balls to do it.

Bugger that ! He had his chance of premiership glory. He's dead to me.

I'd make him play ruck at Peel.

Your trade scenarios are frustrating and pessimistic because you like it being your schtick though so whatever

Well this time I am realistic. Some people on here actually think we will get a 1st rounder for Henry alone. LoL.

Dockers get the bad end of the trading stick. This is no exception.

Freo don't always get the bad end of the stick at all. Freo often make dumb decisions with picks.

Picking up Hogan and Lobb instead of going to the draft with excellent picks in a very strong draft. Etc etc

That’s not really true. We’ve done well in some cases and not so well in others. Some trades were just on par. Overall it’s more of a case of a mixed bag really.

 

[MadMac]

This doesn’t make any sense. It’s not up to Henry to go to the draft.

I would have thought he can nominate for a draft and refuse any trade scenario since he’s out of contract, unless something changed recently

 

[Halfbaked]

Why does Colon have such a boner for us?

Not sure if it's relevant or not but in 2016 Bob Maumill outed Hagdorn as a very good friend with Young on air. Always remember it because Crumpet face was , for some reason, very angry and upset with maumill.

All hail Maumill

because we have drafted him 1 time too many as it is.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

As satisfying as it would be in the immediate term, wouldn’t walking Henry to the draft and then picking him again create massive discontent amongst the players? Sounds like the ultimate case of cutting off your nose to spite your face to me.

I don't care. It would piss off Colin Young.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I’d dare say Colin isn’t living in our decision makers’ heads rent-free to the extent they’d effectively turn the club into a prison to spite him.

 

[Waterhouzin]

I reckon it would be far more humorous if he got picked up by West Coast.
I’m assuming it’s the pre-season draft we’re talking ?

Only if Henry sooks it up big time

I don't reckon he would, probs would sack Col for failing him though

Don't think that was ever a big secret. Crumpets and Colon both worked on that online sports gossip production called "Sports News First".

Actually heard Crumpets on radio recommending that Fremantle should consider Colon as list manager around the time when Mark Micallef had the job.

 

[Superkoops]

Henry wouldn’t make it to Freo. North have shown interest, also Hawks (Sam Mitchell) met with with Henry.

I doubt West Coast would stand in his way and draft him. But the other two absolutely would. Western Bulldogs, Essendon also likely before the Saints pick. So Saints have no Pre-season threat at all.

 

[freo_leo29]

Saints only threat is walking him through the national draft, a risky play in a shallow draft for a recently turned 22 year old, its not like he is Luke Ball at the end of his career, this bloke has 10 years if you draft him.

 

[stax on the mull]

My initial thinking was that maybe Liam wanted to go to St Kilda more than St Kilda actually wanted him but it could be that Silvagni really did think he was the best available talent in the draft when Carlton placed a bid on him.

For Lyon, I could see Henry as being somewhat similar to the type of player that Danyle Pearce

was when he came to Fremantle in 2013 - someone that he could teach the physical contest, make him a harder player while playing the role in his game plan which has always relied on having preferred players that the rest of the team can give the ball to for that run and carry and delivery into the 50m.

So I think there's probably much more to the move to St Kilda than just Liam picking the team he likes or Colon telling him where the best dollar is.

Danyle Pearce could kick a ball more than 40m.

 

[Joao]

Henry will be much better than DP even accounting for the difference in kicking depth.

 

[freo_leo29]

Danyle Pearce could kick a ball more than 40m.

He also chose to do that almost every kick he took

Henry loves trying to hit a target, usually a good target
