Last chance for Kennedy-Harris?



Recommended Posts

I actually thought he played well? 9 tackles and 15 ddisposal. He can build on todays game..

He did a lot of unrewarding running and i hope over the next few weeks he's rewarded more.

Keep it up JKH!

Is and always will be depth.

Well obviously.  But from player 15-30 is generally depth.  You need those to be readily replaceable on form or in injury and be able to perform.  If they are much better you won't be able to give them game time or $ and they'll leave, worse and you lose.  We don't want players 23-30 to be kids, we're wanting competitors who can play a role without leaving us a man short. 

Can he become that for us for the next 2-3 years? Perhaps.  He's shown alot of improvement at VFL, shown ability to find the ball and competitiveness and tackling.

We still have a number out of contract who aren't performing to that level.  So it'll come down to JKH or a very low pick.  Today was a pass, let's see how he goes the next few weeks.

A very measured takes on it all. He didn't shine... didn't really disgrace.

He might be on borrowed time but he might make it work.

Jury out....but not far off

Salvaged a very poor first half.

Came into the game in the last as all others tired.   Laid 9 tackles which I am sure is one if the KPIs the coaching staff love.  

Depending on injuries and Casey form I suspect he will get another go especially on the tighter Kardinia Park.

So you're suggesting his improvement lifted the team? :P

He was leading the tackles at half time. 

1st game this year, and only 7th in 3 seasons at AFL level.  He deserves a chance to work his way into the speed of the game, the same way we would for a senior player returning.

looked terrible before 1/2, once bulldogs dropped off looked better.  Junk time potions which made his day look better than it was. But it is the first game up in ages so it may have taken him time to adjust,  May keep his spot next week, but would be near the bottom of the list to stay in.

As a Casey supporter, it was nice to see JKH get a game with Melbourne after all his hard work at Casey. I wasn't overly impressed with him today but would like to see him keep his place and tighten up his game.

I heard he sleeps with a kiddie light on & is scared of his shadow when it’s infront of him.

He did lay some nice tackles when the game was iced.

Pathetic. Want to enlighten us on your illustrious football endeavours? I am sure you never shirked a contested ball in your career. In other words this is just a cheap shot on someone you don’t know.

Goodwin pointed out JKHs tackle count in the after game presser

No I didn’t pal. Nor did I drop chest marks out in the open that were lace out pal.

His tackling and hands in close were good. He needs to hold his marks, and work on his contested work in the air.

He was solid enough and deserves a second game. I'm really happy for him, earned a recall and didn't let the opportunity pass him by.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
