It smells like Carlton are freeing up space for Houston. In which case, we drive a hard bargain and could get him cheap (pick in 40s). I think he’d do well taking the defensive mid role with flexibility to play forward also. I’m all for it - we need more depth in this area.


Not just freeing up space - looking for assets to acquire Houston.

I don’t think we want to be anywhere near any of their discards, unless virtually free, and even then I’m suspect.

I think he could be handy for us but we are obviously not interested.

The game is demanding more speed and Kennedy does not offer this

Maybe, but Cripps and Tracc are not speedy and they go ok.

He is a big bodied mid, who can drift forward and score and who would come cheap.

He also is a good culture team first guy, as evidenced in the last final, where he left his wife and baby to fly to Brisbane for the game.

I would rather him than Billings or Laurie.

See below, Cal Twomey on Langford. Sound like anyone?

"Harvey Langford is the other one who has to be considered. I'm a big Harvey Langford fan," Twomey said.

"I don't worry about him not being super quick because I think he's a finals player. He's a metres gained player and he marks well above his head. He's been good as a goalkicker this year - 20-plus goals - and he's a big guy. Walking next to him at the Combine, he's a big presence as a midfielder."

Please don’t compare Kennedy to Cripps and Trac 

You can't compare Kennedy to Cripps and Tracc but he is a good honest footballer who can play several roles if needed. A handy club man who tries at whatever role he is thrown.

I hope he isn't traded by Carlton now, he sits on 99 games for the Blues and has a baby son, Theodore (just thinking ahead .... 😁) ... he is a handy player to have around.

His best position is being ripped away from his newborn just to be subbed off

Thought I read Macrae wanted to leave cos Harmes leapfrogged him, now Kennedy is leapfrogging Harmes?

Harmes now has an injury history that they need to cover, not to mention upgrade. Kennedy can play on all 3 lines. Neither of them are best 22 if Sanders and the other speedier young kids kick on. Will be interesting to see if they accept Caleb Daniel’s North deal if they land Kennedy. Getting off Macrae and Daniel’s salaries should help them if they can land someone next year (big if though, small clubs keep struggling to attract quality).

It’s a bit like Billings in to cover Hunter. None of it is sexy but you got to try to make the best out of what you’ve got when you’re in a window, which the Dogs still are if Libba, Treloar and peak Bont exist.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
