The basketball convert missed a chunk of the season with an ankle injury, but showed glimpses of his enormous potential in matches. A versatile athlete, Henderson switched between a wing and defence early in the year and kicked a career-best six goals playing as a forward against Port Adelaide in Round 15. Another player to commit to the Club in 2012, Henderson is on track to reach the 50-game milestone in 2013

Season by Season

Season by Season

After emerging as a surprise packet in attack in 2010, Henderson pushed up onto a wing last season. The shift gave the former basketballer greater freedom, allowing him to use his dangerous pace to exploit opposition teams. The 23-year-old, who battled a hip complaint in the latter stages of the season, kicked 12 goals in 18 matches and ranked No.1 at the Club for creating turnovers that led to Adelaide scores. His performance against the Western Bulldogs in round 13, where he gathered 28 disposals and took nine marks, was a highlight.
