Keep at all costs is a bit silly - Grundy is a much better player than Henry and pretty much no one wants to keep him on his current contract and every one would agree offering Henry a million or more a year is not reasonable. Every player has their value, and Henry has his. The reality is we all think he will be a good player BUT he's got some deficiencies, he needs to work on a few things when he doesn't have the ball AND he needs to want to be part of this team. He's not alone there (I wonder if that's what's really driving the Grundy trade) but if he doesn't tick the boxes, he can leave. And we'll get rewarded with a high draft pick, or he can go to the draft...
It's not rocket science, he's worth what he's worth and that's a mid to low first round pick to the right club, he's not worth a top 10 pick (or he'd be playing in the ones) and he's worth more than a low second round pick. If the price isn't right he either re signs with us or ends up at North Melbourne for free... He would be basically guaranteed a seniors game at North Melbourne, but he'd be lucky to play finals at all in his career. The choice is his really.

Would be more of a worry had Geelong knocked off Collingwood, that would be an absolute kick in the guts. But the thought crossed my mind. Would he be sitting with his Collingwood teammates but hoping for Geelong to get up? #awkward
Then again, he could be playing after 2-Touch Johnson was nowhere to be seen in the prelim.

Have the cats cooled on Henry?
Why no noise coming from either party?
Can’t see him getting a game at the catery and he certainly won’t be paid what he thinks he should. Without a decent deal on a trade he might need to rethink he’s strategy as to how he gets there. We hold the cards on this one.
