Quote:
If you turn back the clock two years, Carlton has acquired a gem. The 197cm Henderson went to Brisbane via pick eight, in a star-studded draft that included Cyril Rioli at No. 12, Callan Ward at 19 and Tayte Pears at 23.

Later, this was the appraisal from Lions football manager Graeme Allan: "We rated Henderson at four. Mick Turner (Geelong Falcons' manager) told me that he would be a marquee player and captain of the club one day."

Nixon agrees, likening some of Henderson's attributes to Saints skipper Nick Riewoldt.

"He is that type of leadership person," Nixon said.

"He's what I call a millimetre man. He cuts the fat off a steak, runs that extra yard and takes pride in whatever he does.

...yet still says he has to work on his second and third efforts.


Looking forward to his progress.

What's the point in having a quote from his manager?

..humility is a good thing too.... ..he's not lazy or unaccountable, and he always keeps trying for the limited number of games i've seen.. ..haven't heard any brions supporters whinging about any percieved lack of repeat efforts.. ..Hendos is just sayin' that, the usual gig where players comment on some flaw in their game that they're working on improving.. .and yer can always improve on yer game as well, but don't worry if yer think he doesn't keep tryin', cos he does..
