He's not becoming their best player obviously, but he could be one of their most important. All he really needs to do is improve the power side of his kicking, his confidence at goals and continue his form from the second half of this year and his addition will be a big boost structurally for the Saints.
My thoughts exactly. Like comparing Hayden Young to Sonny Walters.
Fk oath he gets booed. Hope he cries as well.

His kicks have all the penetrative power of oyster penis, so, yes, he would be better if he could improve the power side of his kicking.
Ideally, you want your transition players to run 10 or 20 and kick 30 or 40. A good wing does what Liam could potentially do in a third of the effort and opportunity for error. He's mincing around doing three or four dinky little chip kicks to cover the same ground gained by one dash from a genuine wing.
He's not particularly fast. Add that to the fact he can't kick the skin off a custard and you have quite a bit of remedial work to do.
If he gets more of the pill as his career progresses, it'll be a function of teams letting him.

Wouldn't kicking the skin off a custard require more precision than power? You add more power, and you have no custard at all.

How do you know this? About oysters?
He's a marine biologist.
Bradley Hill will be a big influence on him also - I can see Henry having a big season next year with a big pre-season, unfortunately.

Runty the girly boy.
Don't forget we also drafted the little campaigner injured.

The comparison was in terms of how Lyon's game plan in the main relies on certain players as trusted distributor types. He gives some players a kind of controlled freedom while the rest of the team plays a contested and defensive game that puts the clamps on the opposition to prevent them playing the way they want.
Adding Henry to B. Hill, Wanganeen-Milera and Sinclair will give them one more of the playmaker type that Lyon's game plan needs to make the defensive side of it work on the scoreboard, in a similar way that adding D Pearce to a team helped spread the load that had been carried mostly by S Hill and the Duffield, Mundy types. We probably didn't have that many.
In terms of Henry's trade worth its a specific St Kilda need to add a player like him to their best 22, rather than just a nice talent who wants to come to their club and that they have to figure out how to use. So I'm saying that there's more to it than just Henry going there on a whim because Colon told him that's where he can earn himself some more money or because Liam gets on well with Brad Hill, or because Ross brought one of his ties or SOS picked him at 9 in the 2019 draft, or whatever.
Lol of course he does. There were some games this year where fans literally had to hold themselves back from booing him while he still played for us.

Nah, man, I share it around.
Players leaving doesn't usually bother me but this guy is a peanut.
Not really.
Honestly believe St Kilda have too many players competing for that role. Shill Henry Sinclair. Overload of front runners then don’t apply defensive pressure the other way, which is Ross’ motto

I hoped he would develop but it never happened. A turnover king.
Seems like a weird decision to me to go after Henry. They also have Wanganeen-Milera (sure, maybe he has been playing HBF a lot, but would think he is a wing/mid long term). Mason Wood as well played OK on the wing and gives that size you need to help in the air.
