He had his best game for the year against Norwood in the semi-final, where he kicked 4 goals, had 17 disposals, took 4 marks and laid 5 tackles.[5] Despite this, he was unable to break into the main side until 2020. McHenry debuted in the 2nd round of the 2020 AFL season, against the Port Adelaide Power.[6] In his first game, he picked up 12 disposals and kicked two behinds.[7]
