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.

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

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".

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

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

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).

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
