Could he fill ANB’s role?

Would definitely fit the bill if we’re looking for experienced midfield depth 

I actually really rate Kennedy so wouldn’t mind it at all if he came for a later pick 

Our second round pick tied to Swans (38?) perhaps?

I hope we don't touch 5 & soon to be 25

He killed us in (was it?) 2020 in an empty Marvel stadium.

If he's been told to go elsewhere and not part of their best 22 plans then they surely can't expect a 2nd round pick, no matter how late it is.

Bulldogs 3rd at pick 50 should do if we were interested.

[titan_uranus 24,558]

I’m very much in favour of exploring the Matt Kennedy situation. 

We need more midfield power. He wants that opportunity. But he can genuinely play forward which helps with rotations. 

[Witches Hat 317]

Matt Owies gone too. Carlton mates are fuming that they've flicked Owies but kept Fantasia.

He didn't play.

[spirit of norm smith 15,059]

Carlton pair Matt Kennedy + Lewis Young have been told they’re free to look around elsewhere for a new home in 2025.
Kennedy had an honest conversation with Michael Voss last week - he sees himself as an inside midfielder, the Blues see him continuing half-forward role. 

I’d be happy to grab Kennedy for a pick in the 50s/60s

[hardtack 10,398]

Owies was a player I’d thought would be nice to have as he’s very handy around the goals.

Could wax and wane fwd/mid with Trac

[einstein251 61]

Matthew Kennedy would be a good get for the club but I suspect the Blues will want us to pay too high a price.

Was it in pre season then? Didn't he kick 4 goals against us?

Edited Monday at 10:26 by Adam The God
It was pre season 2022, and he kicked 2 goals and had 37 touches.

As @Nascent says, they can't tell him to explore his options and then demand a particularly high price.

[Adam The God 29,292]

Where is Owies going? He'd be handy.

They are clearing space for Houston I suspect. Kennedy won’t be too expensive.

[Pink Freud 364]

Kennedy and Owies would both be worthwhile options if not too expensive but I wouldn’t touch Lewis Young - not a clean ball handler.

We might also be well advised to move on a couple of players who are likely to be list cloggers to make way for them.

[Demon Disciple 11,607]

Wouldn’t mind Owies. He doesn’t do a whole heap, but he bobs up every now and then and also stays put in the forward line.

[DeeSpencer 24,682]

Kennedy is slow and a poor kick, but at least has some flexibility to play forward.

Another one for the ‘if no one else is better’ category but not a prime target.

Brew has got some interest at AFL level. There is a level of resilience and dedication similar to Mannagh in why clubs love him. 

His work rate is elite and obviously his consistency at VFL level is why I think clubs see similar to Mannagh.

And he takes home the Liston. Great stuff.

[BW511 2,567]

Carlton folk suggest Owies is a small forward that plays like a lead up forward - Basically a smaller version of Fritta. Doesn’t apply any pressure defensively or work well at the feet of their talls.

I’d look at Kennedy for midfield depths for sure

 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

Carlton are obviously wanting to clear the decks for a run at Houston. Kennedy wont be on big money but is in contract. He fills our need and style and provides another mature inside bull whilst we see where Clarry and Trac are at. Has also shown quality pinch hitting forward so could play alternate to Trac (or the role subject to how long his return). If they want him out the key is getting him to request us and then we should get him for cheap (pick 45 or 50 could get it done).

Hes been told his not going to be a starting inside mid, but Carl see him only playing the half fwd role that he played every game this year as. He wants to play inside mid.

Feel like you’ve just described our entire incumbent forward line. He’d fit right in!

Kicked 16-10 when drifting forward. Some of those points are snaps, so not a bad kick for goal.

[layzie 32,726]

Absolute yes for Kennedy. As far as ANB replacement suggestions go this has been the best one so far. 

Not perfect but work rate is right up there.
