Still does not alter the fact that they got Howe and we ended up with Kennedy.

We got the poorer of the two.

thats not the full story though is it Old...cmon....apples etc

He is very, very, very lazy footballer who gets by with talent.

It easy to be sucked in with these types of players as i remember thinking few years back that with his skill set he could play in the middle or run with if he had a "Big Preseason".... Pigs might fly...

Ben Kennedy should have played on the weekend. Wet weather football for the perfect small who has teamed up with Garlett and Kent to be a solid contributor.

Poor selection which unfortunately means he won't play this weekend due to Garlett coming back.

I must have missed his best games then dc, in the ones I have seen his good games have been a quarter then next to zip for the balance of the game.

Kennedy has averaged 17.3 disposals a game 3.1 marks 0.9 goals 2.6 tackles

Howe has averaged     19.0 disposals a game 6.9 marks 0.2 goals 2.6 tackles

There's not a lot in it, so we haven't lost and we don't have a player that only plays on his terms, I don't see where we would play Howe this year. He doesn't provide run and he doesn't have a great football brain.

I am just as uncertain where we play Kennedy Dante.

Why wasn't he played in place of Garlett?

Seems the FD don't have much confidence in him either in spite of big numbers at Casey.

BenKen got dropped earlier this year and played a great game at Casey, he was promoted the following week and didn't perform all that well in the following weeks. I think they may be telling him that he needs to be more consistent and not just play the odd good game.

He will be ok and I'd imagine they'd play him as a small forward, maybe a stint in the middle.

Small sample (only watched three Pies games this year) however Howe was very poor in each of them.  Atrocious at kicking in.

Too small a sample evidently. His kicking has been one of his real strengths this season. That's one thing that's a little annoying when I think back to the grubbers and floaters that were coming off his boot last season.

If you actually had a look at the three way trade with coll-Melb-port you would see we ended up with Kennedy and a pick which ended up (through a pick exchange with Gold Coast) giving us the pick we traded for Bugg. So Ben Ken and Bugg and pick 50 for Howe, Toumpass and pick 64. Which,over the next few years, will be a win for us

Unfortunately he was the same at Collingwood. Some strong performances in the VFL, comes up to AFL then back down again.

I think that we picked up a couple of depth players...not sure if that's a win or not.

Nope. He's a required player. For the MFC.

 

Seen nothing yet to suggest he is more than a very good Casey player RB.He is the SKK for me.

One of sports greatest commentators Richie Benaud had 8 rules for commentary,

  1. Never ask a statement.
  2. Remember the value of a pause.
  3. There are no teams in the world called 'we' or 'they'.
  4. Avoid cliches and banalities, such as 'he's hit that to the boundary', 'he won't want to get out now', 'of course', 'as you can see on the screen'.
  5. The Titanic was a tragedy, the Ethiopian drought a disaster, and neither bears any relation to a dropped catch.
  6. Put your brain into gear before opening your mouth.
  7. Concentrate fiercely at all times.
  8. Above all, don't take yourself too seriously, and have fun.

-The channel 7 commentators get every one wrong.

Gold.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
