WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN KENNEDY

Brett Anderson who is usually relible just tweeted this and Toumpas set to go back to SA.

Rated kennedy highly as a junior. Dominates the 2s and is fan favorite with the pies but frustrated at Bucks for not giving him more opportunities.

13 games in the last 2 years?

sounds like more garbage the pies don't want

big fish


Iv heard Cameron o'shea is thinking about returning to melbourne

Similar player to Kent... Not sure what we'd have to give up for him but I see Kent infront of him as that small forward/midfield role. Doesn't fit the Roos "tall mid" profile

I like him as an ibbotson type player

 

Don't know which of him tbh. Could someone please elaborate on what sort of player he is?


Missed significant time with glandular fever this year, but when fit has pace and can kick goals. Will probably offer more on the outside than Toumpas was able to.

Has shown a willingness to work hard defensively and I know the Dee's rated him very highly in his draft year.

Wonder whether this will be part of a Jeremy Howe deal or whether we will on trade a pick we receive for Toumpas (2nd rounder?).

Had the same reaction to Melksham. Meh. Just waiting for the "but he's better than M.Jones, Terlich, Bail and Riley, and will add to our depth".

I'm not a fan of players that can't kick 35 metres from goal.

Cue Sam Mitchell.......

They are out in full force today. An upgrade to Matt Jones and Dean Terlich? Talk about aiming high!

A very knowledgable Collingwood supporting colleague at work reckons that Kennedy is the worst player on Collingwood's primary list. she wants him delisted or traded for a ham sandwich.

Gavin Brown couldn't kick 40 meters.

I actually rate Kennedy, good young player who can break the lines and kick goals.

Actually think he could be a good pick up.

and how much of a hole in our side did Kent leave when he went down injured, We lacked line breaking speed without him and his pace in and around wing/hf to create turnovers. I was a critic of Kent last year and before as I felt he was not working hard enough to reach his potential with the tools he had at his disposal. Before he went down injured he showed enough to suggest the penny had dropped and he was looking at having a good year.

What Kent getting injured did was amplify our lack of line breakers who can run between mid and forward, Kennedy offers that and you can't have to many of them on your list because sometimes you need to play two of them and have the depth to pick sides to beat the differing oppositions week to week.

Kennedy is a good user of the footy

Has good acceleration

Has very good cruise speed

Is a good decision maker in traffic

Good get for mine at the right price

Powell could kick the ball long, but not straight. Maybe Lewis Taylor is a better comparison.

Are we now collecting Kennedy's :rolleyes:

 

I really liked Kennedy in his under 18 year. Wouldn't be opposed.

Me too. Was very much hoping we'd draft him back then. Perhaps it's worked out for the best though.

If we were to send Howe over to Collingwood, I'm not sure I'd be content with just Kennedy back. Does have potential but is very unproven.

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).
