Round 14 - Blues v Western Bulldogs (Aftermatch Aftermath)

[laj]

Hendo took more contested marks at CHB. He usually had the composure to punch in situation here he wasn't sure of the result. Up forward he is the one who has to take the grabs and that doesn't happen as much as he would want. That is why we have Levi, but he doesn't have the body work or the ability to read the play like Hendo does.

Yes, he's at CHF out of necessity right now. Maybe put him at CHB and bring in Watson or Jaksch. Watson's had a few good weeks in the twos, bar last week when it simply a waste of time being a forward. Be worth bringing him in to see how he goes under Barker. If we are to make a decision on him best see how he goes for a few weeks under a different game style.

BTW - I agree about Hendo - he is not much of a contested mark when opponents are trying to spoil him but he can take some contested marks.

Henderson's nothing flash.
He's better than average and far from a dud but he's not the big bodied forward we need and never will be.
I'm not leaning towards trading him because we won't get a top 10 pick or probably even a top 20, and he's better than 90% of the players we'll draft outside that bracket.

What if the Cats gave us pick 10?

Alot more flash at CHB.

He already intimated now that he's staying.

Hendo is a backman and I bet that's where the Cats would play him.

Cripps said on a Fox footy program that he thought another good KP backman was our highest priority. Hendo certainly fits that bill so why not play him there and look for a forward e.g. Dixon?

Not another one calling for Watson :

I think the decision has been made

If Hendo goes to his best position at CHB. Rowe would be a better forward option - faster on the lead than Levi - better contested mark than Hendo - better competitor than Watson (low bar)

@RR

Agree on Watson, papers probably stamped.

No chance I reckon, but I'd take it in a flash.
