Henry is only 22 but the next eldest Indigenous player at the club. Windhager and Wanganeen-Milera have displayed their leadership qualities during their time at the club.

Henry wants to not only help the other young guns at the club, but others in the community who need direction navigating life challenges.
“I definitely do want to become a leader,” Henry said. “We’ve got emerging leaders like ‘Naz’ and ‘Windy’, who are both very welcoming. I hold myself to a high standard so they are setting the standard. I think that’s definitely a space I want to get into, not just for myself but for my family and community back home. There is more to life than the little community they grew up in and that shouldn’t define what they do. They can go into something bigger in AFL or studying in Perth or whatever they want to do.”
After missing six games with a hamstring injury, Henry is set to return for this weekend’s trip to Launceston to face Hawthorn, just in time to play in Sir Doug Nicholls Round, when St Kilda becomes Euro-Yroke for a fortnight.
