WTF has happened with Lachie Henderson? Seriously, what is going on with this guy? The "Oh - but he missed a massive chunk of the pre-season" excuse no longer cuts it @ round 14......something's gotten into this guy's head & he simpy hasn't got a clue or the desire out there at the monent & it's hurting us. He's a deadset witches hat right now.

One thing is for sure, it's all the player's fault.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Yep...it's getting a bit late now for the pre-season argument.
It's probably time for him to go back to defence....or out for a rest (plays like he's still injured).

By the same token there was a bit of a difference between the GWS delivery to Patton and the Carlton delivery to Henderson.

A week away from the club for Lauchie to get his head straight and then into the NBs.

Lachie has only played a few good games at CHF, it's a very tough position to play and only the good ones cut it.
He's not the player a lot of Carlton supporters think he is, he's no hack but he's no gun either.
He didn't have it easy yesterday, Waite was playing well up the ground and Casboult gave us nothing, and the delivery was haphazard at best.
He needs to go back but that probably means Rowe forward, and he's definitely not up to CHF.
We're paying the price for a succession of recruiting failures.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Henderson is a CHB who you swing forward for a lift but not every week.......like I have said many times he has been played out of form.

Missing chunks of the pre-season does have more effect as the season goes. Without that base that's oh so important you get to this time of the year and your tired. Your touch has gone as had the confidence. That's the same for any sportsperson, not just a footballer. Worse for KP players as they rely on touch and confidence alot.

He's had good games as well Jimbo.......that's too much of a cop out for mine.
