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

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

    Where is Owies going? He'd be handy.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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).

    NO

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I must be on an island with Lewis Young. I thought he was a good solid defender and at his age I would be snapping him up if cheap. 

    I must be looking at him all wrong as I'm shocked he is being traded in the first place.

    Keep an eye out for Riley Bice and Dom Brew from Werribee. 

    Thought you meant Bailey Rice for a sec…but he’s still punting for Charlotte.

    Fair point, but still maintain that he won't command high compensation given he's a player in the back half of his career and been given permission to chase better opportunities (inside mid or otherwise) next year.

    Had a really good run of games at the start of this or last season (they all blend together to me these days). Outside that brief period, he's looked Oscar McDonald-esque to me. It's not a very nice thing to say but the word "hapless" comes to mind.

    Kennedy is treacle slow. As the game gets faster, spread and speed rule. Teams can carry some one paced players but not many, there is no position to hide them. Looking out our midfield mix we need more speed than less.

    If the Blues don't see him as a centre bounce mid maybe he is not a centre bounce mid. If his endurance is elite then maybe he could lay a Nibbler type role but its not clear that it is.

    If we want to persist with both Turner and Petty inside F50 and Tomlinson goes Young might be worthy of a list spot. I think hapless is a stretch tbh and he can kick off both sides pretty well which is rare for a KPD.

    If Jed Adams was showing more I’d agree he may not be worth pursuing but atm if May or Lever gets injured which they seem prone to do he might be a good back up

    He might be worth a spot, but I'd rather treat TMac as the back up or the guy who starts 2025 in the best 23 and look to push someone like a Riak Andrew through there by the end of the year.

    Can cross a line through Angwin, re-signed for two years recently.

    Kennedy def fits the bill keys hope we go after him! 
     

    Wade Derkson — as reported by afl.com.au & above is someone we have interest in and his hands are allegedly super-strong so watch that space could be a nice little get for not much & giants signed him up so they def saw something on him

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
