Very happy for Lachie last night. Interestingly Fly mentioned in his presser that Lachie was dealing with some 'off field' stuff.
Just a reminder we never really know what is going on with our players, aka AJ |

True dat. There must be hidden reasons affecting performances but we can only comment on the known stuff. We probably get it wrong without right info.

I also think he probably thrives more with an open forward line and being more of a target than he has been as a 5th-6th forward in earlier rounds.
It was a lot of what that Hawthorn sook was going on about, he has probably been struggling to adapt to the structure of the Collingwood forward line where Freo being shit he probably had more freedom. |

Very good game on Friday, I do sense that he (Shoota) as I believe the freo fans called him.
Has struggled with the change of game plan, between Freo and Collingwood. Freo play more of the 'Buckley style' sideways nonsense (in my opinion).
Collingwood is a tight structure with a chaos element..which i am sure might take a full year to learn his role. That is fine.
I still don't think the trade was worth what Collingwood paid. That is not the players problem. We hand over a player like Henry for under his value. Yet overpay for in the incoming?

How could we have avoided handing over Henry for less than his value?

The biggest regret we'll have is opting to have Johnson over Henry late in 2022.
Johnson was a flash in the pan at the time, but Henry was worth investing in despite his flaws with his defensive game. Maybe he would have left anyway, but giving him more game time might have helped him stay.

Exactly. I don't believe we chose AJ over Henry. We were forced to give up Henry.

| Henry lost a nut after moving to Geelong, so the trade came out even in the end |

Back to Shultz. Best game for us and now to see if he can cement a place by his good form as against reputation

Coach alluded to some personal/off field things he's had to deal with too. None of my business what they are, but would take a robot-psyche to not that kind of stuff have some impact on your game-day output.
I think he's been going pretty well. He's got 4.5 years to run on the contract and when its done I'm pretty sure we'll say it was a good acquisition.

I think our club knew Henry wanted out early in the 2022 season, when he refused to sign a contract extension. If they knew he has determined to join his brother at the Cats, then there was no reason to play him in our senior team. |

Important now to build on his good game against Doggie’s on a personal basis
But more so at this time with Billy absent for a period and Joe Richards too!!
Important also to the team
