Liam Henry came across from Fremantle in the off season after a breakout campaign running off a wing, beating the likes of Nic Martin. At St Kilda he has largely been stuck on a half forward flank, a position which does not maximise his tireless running to present on the outside. In recent weeks, however, coach Ross Lyon has tried him as an inside midfielder where he has shown that his ceiling as a player might not be teammate Bradley Hill but Bradley's brother Stephen, who could tear teams apart with inside/outside bursts. If he can add accumulation, he could be anything.

Liam Henry is rumoured for a shift to inside midfield, hoping to use his jets to scoot away from congestion rather than motoring around the wings.
Henry is a fresh prince
One of a host of early Freo selections in last November's draft, Liam Henry arrives as a dashing outlet capable as a half forward or wing. His highlight performance came against Vic Country in the Championships, collecting 25 disposals and five tackles. A consistent performer in the WAFL Colts, he averaged 23 disposals, two goals and six score involvements. Following the retirement of Hayden Ballantyne and the departures of Bradley Hill and Ed Langdon, Henry has every chance to debut early in 2020. He will need to overcome a knee injury suffered in August, which has kept him on a modified program. Relevant fantasy seasons from draftees are a rarity, we may be twelve months too early.
