But I hope they SEN put up the Barker interview this morning. He goes into a bit of detail of how they are trying to get the forwards to work and how, at the moment, they (and others) are just not getting the system right.
I reckon he's keeping Henderson there not just for his smarts but because they want the system working with the people they have been working with.
I can accept that I guess.
Obviously we have to work within the limitations of a list.
I think we all see potential in players to play different roles and get a little frustrated by them being kept in (what we perceive) to be less than their ideal positions.

Been our problem for decades

While it wouldn't have altered the result, the umpiring was incredibly inconsistent last night. I think that the players not knowing who has been given a free is a pretty good indicator that the umpires are off their game.
Fifty-five free kicks were awarded last night compared to fifteen in the Collingwood-Port Adelaide game. I am a firm believer in free kicks being paid when they are there but I reckon almost a third of last night's frees were for inconsequential or non-existent actions.
On the other hand, why wasn't a free kick paid when Vickery made head high contact with Jamison when the ball was 50 metres away? Cotchin was the beneficiary of a free reversal when Cripps made light contact with an opponent's scone ???

Agree....Cam Ling said he plays his best footy down back where he can read the ball better....

I agree 100% with you but TBF Lingy did follow that up with 'he needs his opponent to take him to the ball' which is the exact opposite isn't it?

Maybe when his opponent gets him to to roughly where the ball he is he reads it better..
..all I know is he was next to useless down forward and had zero presence.I just dont want another Laidler scenario where we lose a good footballer because the footy dept dont have the nous to play him where he does his best work...

I don't reckon it's anything like the Laidler situation.

We owe it to ourselves to play him down back for the remainder of the year.
