Straight swap for Toumpas.

It's meh, but I'll probably take it.

Left footer and speed at least gives us something different.

Still torching it at VFL level just can't adapt to AFL yet (and maybe never).

which one you talking about lol

Wouldn't have known Ben Kennedy, but watching his highlights pack the one thing that stands out is competitive aggression. If those of you naysayers can't see what this club are trying to create, or s

I watched his 2nd goal yesterday that many times. Best goal of the day by a mile when you consider the whole sequence.  The strong tackle to stop the potential rebound and keep it alive in our fo

We really need a 'WTF' button... I would call it The 'dee-luded' Button.

Think he can. Just needs an extended run.

His best season was his debut year where he got to play 12 games. He's been in & out of tbe side a lot the last two yearsand sub a lot, so would like to think at Melbourne he could get an extended run on a wing.

I know they they are highlights but he looked pretty pretty exciting at times there. Him and Kent up forward along with Garlett would inject some serious speed.

He reminds me of Nath Hrovat.

Im sure he is going to offer much more than toumpus, toumpus is a good kid but just might not work out.

Same height, different types though. Kennedy has more speed, Hrovat better in close, more composed with ball in hand. More Sam Mitchell in the way Hrovat plays, if Kennedy hits his potential, more a Boomer Harvey type.

This was a VFL game he played earlier in the year:

http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/2014-08-05/vfl-ben-kennedy

The stat line read: 38 disposals, 9 clearances, 7 inside 50's, 3 tackles (and a goal judging by the video).

In other news, Toumpas fails to get a sniff at VFL level.

Let's hope Toumpas' reputation in being a prior Pick 4 gets the deal over the line.

No doubting the depth of collingwood's midfield as well, its a difficult side to get into for a guy like him, they do have one of the best young midfields in the league. If a pick number 10 isn't getting a game on their list and moving, then i can see why kennedy would want to move on as well.

I'm all for it. It's a bit similar to the Melksham case in my opinion. We're not necessarily recruiting players that can slide straight into our best 22 but instead depth players with more upside than your everyday Rohan Bail.

Kennedy would be handy backup in case Kent were to go down again.

You make an excellent point. Having said that, i can see Kennedy slotting straight into a wing for us.

Howe to the filth for Kennedy & their 3rd round pick?

Also worth noting that Kennedy was recruited at the filth the last year Jason Taylor was there. So if we are looking at him, it's fair to say Taylor should know what he's capable of.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
