I know we could never match what the Saints are offering (and I don’t think he leaves the Blues anyway), but geez he’d be almost the ideal player for us to chase A first or second ruck option who can genuinely play forward - not many of them around

What a whirlwind for Culley - gets delisted by West Coast, trains the house down at Melbourne before missing out on our first SSP spot only for a second to open up a few days later 😱 Anyway glad to have him despite AMW’s unfortunate injury I reckon the Eagles just might regret delisting him

Poor Andy 😢 let’s hope common sense prevails and us and Carlton can receive an exemption to the current SSP deadline If that’s the case, I wonder if it’s as simple as adding Culley to the list? He’s too good to not be on an AFL list and has some upside at only 21(?) years old

Not a bad debut at all! And from following a few of the other practice matches it seems like he had one of the better stat lines of the other rookies who played I reckon we’ve got one here

I personally didn’t see his pace as an issue at all He’s not quick but he’s got high footy IQ and great positioning - it’s almost like he knows he’s not quick but can use his smarts find space Had an absolutely beautiful lace out kick inside 50 at one point too

MFC socials confirming McAdam being moved to the inactive list this morning Poor Shane, but hopefully official confirmation of Henderson joining later today

Langford, Sharp and one of AJ/Jefferson would be my tip, with Henderson a smokey considering Kozzy and Kolt won’t be available, and question marks over Spargo

Love Green as a player but it’s a huge win for us They’ll need Cogs and Kelly to play like they did five years ago or guys like Callaghan to make the step up to match us in there Of course they can still beat us on the outside, but we’ll take what we can get!

Some more highlights from his 2024 season here Jack Henderson 2024 highlights

Good get @BC_1718_DC!

Love this! Welcome Jack and up the Bees! 🐝 😈

Surely not having the move interstate would be a selling point 👀 Thanks for the intel though!

Been big on Henderson since last year and was surprised when we took AJ over him with our last pick Perhaps now a chance to reunite a couple of Bees!

I can’t speak for anyone else but I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a part of my thinking No disrespect to Luker but it was a near zero chance he’d be playing AFL this year, and now it’s unclear at what point he’ll return to even playing in the VFL I’d still like to keep him on the list to let him develop, but I think adding two ready made players in Culley and potentially Henderson could really strengthen our depth in a way a developing tall simply can’t Plus we’ve seen the type of impact these guys can have at a contending club (think Markov at the Pies or Mannagh at Geelong), and I think we’ve been sorely lacking in this recruiting space recently When life gives you lemons make lemonade

Thanks @BC_1718_DC that’s good intel I said in another thread that I was shocked when the Eagles delisted Culley Would be more than happy to add him to the list despite the unfortunate circumstance
