AFL Fantasy Player Notes - Henderson Kid At Full Forward For NAB Cup
Lachlan Henderson was taken early in the draft by the Brisbane Lions and Brisbane fans will get an early look at him in the NAB Cup game. With injuries possibly keeping a few other tall forwards out of the lineup for the regular season opener, Henderson could be combining with Jonathan Brown in the forward 50 when the real games begin.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Henderson could provide some financial value for fantasy teams in the first month of the season. If he plays the first 4 or 5 games his initial fantasy price could at least double, which would make him a useful trade asset.
When Brisbane have Bradshaw back to his best, and Brown dominating, there probably won’t be a spot for Henderson up forward. Maybe he can find a spot in the back half, as there isn’t a lot of height back there, although that didn’t seem to be a problem last year for the Lions.

Although Brown will be ready by then, Bradshaw will still be at least a month away from playing and Clark might struggle for selection given Matthews's long-standing rule that players must have had competitive match practice before a senior call-up.
By then Henderson could have impressed enough to earn a spot, either in attack or across half back, making him just the second draftee in 10 years to play his first game in round 1 of his first season at the Lions.
