Persistent knee injuries impacted Lachie Henderson's last two seasons at centre half back, so he'll be keen to forget them after being re-selected in the rookie draft.
Considering that Henderson has only averaged over 70 once in his 12-season career, even if he can lock down a defensive post, he remains largely irrelevant in terms of fantasy value.
Henderson is bigfoot
Persistent knee injuries impacted Lachie Henderson's last two seasons at centre half back, so he'll be keen to forget them after being re-selected in the rookie draft.
Considering that Henderson has only averaged over 70 once in his 12-season career, even if he can lock down a defensive post, he remains largely irrelevant in terms of fantasy value.
Harried Henderson
After missing close to all of 2018 with a knee injury, Lachie Henderson appears to be ready to tackle a full season in 2019. He pays close attention to his attacking opponents, and rarely has been given the opportunity to chalk up fantasy-relevant statistics. Heading into 2019, a fit Henderson will slide into half back for Geelong. However, this role is certainly an accountable one and, as his history shows, that does not equate to stellar fantasy scores. Pass on him in the draft.
Harry or the Henderson?
It was only late in 2017 that Lachie Henderson's role started changing from close-checking CHB to playing loose in defence, most notably in the semi final against Sydney for 13 marks. His scoring rose 14 points after the bye into startable range, with his better games characterised by mark totals pushing into double digits. It seems as if the Cats are going to persist with Harry Taylor up forward for as long as they can possibly manage it, though Taylor has always looked far more comfortable in defence. Nevertheless, as with Jamie Macmillan in 2017, it is folly to read too much into a late-season point spurt, and Henderson merits only a late pick.
