It also pisses me off that the club is criticised for not drafting a tall forward to replace Fevola, as if a 17-18 year old could possibly fill the void anyway. Whereas the actual fact is the club did better than drafting a new kid by securing Henderson in the Fevola trade. That is, a highly-rated key forward with a couple of years AFL development under his belt.

Nobody knows if the outcome of the trade will bear fruit, but the fact the club is being wahcked for bot recruiting a key forward says a lot more about the people making the criticisms than it does about the club.

Essendon* cheated, simple as that

Emma Quayle gets it. She rates Henderson right up at the pointy end of tall forwards drafted over the last few years.

But then he thinks GWS will prob never read this thread again LOL

Writing on Twitter this morning, Quayle spruiked: “That is an amazing trade. Henderson is an awesome, awesome get for the Blues, exactly what they would have been trying to draft”.
