Henderson out of Carlton
- Thread starter tigertim
- Start date
Interested in heal Gil Mc paying out on Lachie this morning on AW. Said he couldn't understand why Henderson said he wanted out with only 3 weeks to. I think he said it was selfish.
I find McL comments odd. I would've thought Henderson being honest and upfront to be commendable.

Henderson's mother just on AW gave Caro a bit of a spray and Gil too. Said Henderson would gladly have played out the year in whatever capacity required by Carlton. It's time for the AFL and the comp to grow up.

Disagree. If he doesn't want to be there, he forfeits the right to wear the jumper. Support the club on this one (even if it does comply with Tanking 101).
I just love the spray all the clubs seem to give their players in the media when they want to leave. The number of examples are legion.
And McLaughlin weighing into, via the media, a single player issue on behalf of the CFC is almost obscene really. Utterly inappropriate to his role.
There seems to be no easy way to leave if the club doesn't want you to go - hell even if the club couldn't care less it seems about 50% of the time it is still acrimonious.
Go Henderson's Mum. Just wish she could get a rolling media campaign going for a week or so to get AFL and CFC more defensive.

Let's have a player give a club a spray. "What a bunch of losers and hacks. Coach is an a-hole, boot studded is wanker, and the supporters are slobbering zombies. Get me the hell outta here."

I heard Blobbo on Saturday morning talkign about Carlisle. There was absolute venom in his voice when he spoke about how the club had looked after him (???) for 3 dark years and now he is shitting on them blah blah. It was like listening to a car crash. Couldnt believe what i was hearing, but couldnt manage to turn it off!

Heard Mick Malthouse on this the other day on SEN, of course it's Mick so take it with a grain of salt. He reckoned he knew Betts was leaving at the start of his last season with Carlton - he visited Mick for dinner early in the season and never said anything but Mick knew he was going to leave.
He kept playing Betts because he knew Eddie was professional enough to keep playing for the team while he was there. Maybe not 100% but still enough.

He's said this elsewhere also, but it's not the same as Betts telling the club he intends to leave. Even if that had happened, it's a different situation (pre-season) to Henderson saying he wants out with three games to go.
Personally hope we never get to the stage of the NRL, with the public knowing full well Player X has signed with Club Y for next year. Some call it "being mature", but it runs contrary to the game's essence whereby supporters invest emotionally in a player from the draft.
Henderson obviously has a right to be honest with the club, but he shouldn't be offended when told he won't be playing. Culture has to start somewhere (yeah, I know it's Carlton we're talking about).
Carlton have self destructed.
Personally I reckon they made a mistake with Trigg as their CEO - he stuffed up Adelaide when he was their and now doing the same at the blues
