I watched a doco/series on Anna Meares on the weekend (she is a sporting hero of mine) and her old coach made a statement along the lines of "you are only as good as your worst day" meaning flashes of brilliance every now and then amount to nothing if you are very ordinary the rest of the time. This applies to the three that left us.
Shouldn't a player be judged over their entire career, rather than cherry picking a good or bad game here and there ?
Hendo was a former top 10 pick, who apart from last year, gave us good service. The Cats were prepared to offer a future 1st rounder to secure him, and his first season with them has been positively reviewed. He wasn't the only one who stunk it up last year and looked like they'd rather be elsewhere.
