Lachie Henderson won’t play for the Blues again

Re: Lachie Henderson won’t play for the Blues again

Why wouldn't they stick in the northern bull ant blues side?
I'd be surprised if they get a top 10 for him(that was proposed)

Why would they risk him getting injured in the remaining 3 games and see his trade value completely disappear? I think they're making the best of a bad situation.....worse luck. With him and Yarran more than likely both exiting and maybe Bell too, they are going to have a few picks inside the first 3 rounds to play with.

What are you basing that on?

Same as what you are with Carlisle ie attitude.

Talia played pretty exclusively on Grundy and Witts against the Pies. I didn't see him match up on Moore at all.

The last 3 he was matched up on him. Incidentally his first 2 game from Talia being outmarked further up the ground.

Perhaps I dreamt I was there.

p.s may need to rethink hanging onto him if he's getting stiched up by an 18 year old.

From memory there was a Joe the goose and then a dodgy free kick in the last quarter.

Does Talia panic and take his eyes of the ball in marking contests? Quite often his opponent seems to come from nowhere to mark the ball while Talia is looking in the other direction.

Good question I'll be sure to watch him closely on Sunday. His biggest test is coming up.

I think it's Moore's last mark. Talia is in prime position in the contest but somehow gets turned around and has his back to the ball when Moore takes the grab.

I noticed that and know exactly what you're saying - he didn't even get off the ground and did seem a bit panic stricken grabbing Moore around the waist as he went up. Not sure how much this is happening but it does tell me that he's more worried about his man than where the ball is going. If you struggle reading the flight of the ball and your positioning is compromised you're in a world of hurt as a key defender.

With Henderson you can add terrible form for the greater part of the season.

Whilst Carlisle's attitude has suffered under the weight of his Club's plight and expectations on him, and whilst not having a stand out season, I would still give him a pass mark for his on field form which is far from where Lachie Henderson has found himself battling away in the seconds.

For mine, Henderson's a nice, flexible footballer when in form, whereas to unlock the key to Carlisle will offer more in effecting the outcome of a game.

Luke's ability this season to get outstanding results from the unexpected should give us confidence that he can tap in to Carlisle's immense potential.

Gil Mc slammed Hendo today, absolutely lined him up and slapped him down on radio. I don't recall his predecessors doing it, but I have to agree with his reasoning about this not becoming a pattern.

Henderson has been a good citizen all his career, I'm not sure that the 'attitude' between the two players is comparable.

Yet he didnt line up and slam Brisbane for doing the same to Adcock.

Double standards by the AFL.

I don't know about off field, I guess I mean he hasn't put in 100% this year as he has been unhappy at Carlton. Performance will be effected if you just don't want to be at your work place.

We would need to take a good look at him before we decide.

So Henderson says he doesn't want to be at Carlton next year three games prior to season's end and gets slammed by the AFL's CEO, and within the same 24 hour period the Lions tell Adcock he won't have his contract renewed...............presumably with no comment from AFL House (unless I missed it).

Where's the balance in perception? Both players are at the end of their contracts, so what's the big deal?

I acknowledge players and clubs aren't supposed to cut deals mid season with contracted players, but if the AFL is really stupid enough to believe we don't think managers get sounded out by clubs and communicate with their players then it's just another example of how they take us for fools. They're heavy handedly trying to protect an image or ideal that doesn't really exist.

Re: Lachie Henderson won’t play for the Blues again

Interesting take on Henderson by i think Andy Maher of all people. Henderson very early on found out the hard way footy is a business and players are a commodity. Being part of the Fevola deal, he didnt want to leave Brisbane at all but was forced to.

Henderson just getting in first this time.
