    I like Liam. I bought two of his ties and suggested he make bandanna's!

        Henry coming off a career best game on the wing on the weekend. I guess we will get to see him up close on Saturday.

          It will be interesting to see how he performs against us this weekend.
          He's been in and out of the team but capable of some brilliant football.

          I was just looking at a heat map of his from the last game and it looks like he got a lot of possessions in the back line or wing.

            Played wing but his defensive teammates praised him for getting back and helping them out. He also had 4 inside 50s so sounds like he was covering a lot of ground (32 possessions and 514 metres gained).

              Thanks, I wasn't sure where he lined up but the heat map indicated he got most of his possessions across half back.

                He played well but to say he was due is the understatement of the century.

                  Top 10 pick, 4th year in the system. Why has he struggled to make an impact thus far in his career?

                    Can I say this?

                    Doesn't run, wont stick his head over it. HARD PASS on signing up for the Liam Henry experience. Yes - he was good last week vs the Bombers but if you have 32 touches and your previous best was 21, what numbers should you be focussing on when considering whether or not to recruit a player to become part of your midfield.

                      Thanks. Will be interesting to see if this was a breakout game or a false dawn.

                          The Henry to Dogs supposed interest is at best speculative and I'd say his manager is trying to create some options to get a good deal.

                          This from SEN

                          Fremantle wingman Liam Henry is still weighing up his future and will attract significant interest from Victorian clubs, according to leading journalist Mitch Cleary.

                          The 21-year-old had a career-best performance against Essendon, finishing with a career-high 32 disposals, 25 kicks and eight marks.

                          Cleary pointed out the Western Bulldogs, Melbourne and St Kilda as three teams who could be right in the mix.

                          “He’s still weighing up whether he wants to stay at that footy club and there’s going to be a heap of offers,” he told the Tradies Podcast.

                          “I want to talk about three (clubs) in Victoria. Clubs that I think will have a look and clubs are looking for outside speed and dash.

                          “The Bulldogs, their wings are a concern. He’s got a relationship with Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, so that’s something for the Bulldogs to consider.

                          “They’ve got the extra first round pick this year thanks to the deal for Josh Dunkley and they’ll look to get rid of those because they’ve got Matthew Croft’s son that they’ll have to move picks on and get a bit flexible with. There’s talk he could go (in the first round).

                          “Then you’ve got Melbourne. They’ve secured Kozzie Pickett. Kozzie has a relationship with Liam Henry and an extra first round pick as part of the Luke Jackson trade, ironically from Fremantle.

                          “And then St Kilda. Stephen Silvagni was at Carlton when the Blues bid on Liam Henry in the draft. SOS is now at the Saints. A bit of outside dash, with a decision still to come on Jade Gresham who is weighing up his footy future, keep an eye on the Saints for Liam Henry.”

                          Henry was selected with pick nine in the 2019 National Draft and has played the 34 games, struggling to lock down a spot in Freo’s best 22 until the last few weeks.

                            Sounds like a very Un-Bevo type of player. Do not want.

                              Watch him get another 30 this week followed by us offering 5-years at $650/.

                              Feel the excitement.
