HahahaStocker would have stood up for Kennedy......just saying.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Iron sharpens iron.
People were delisting him a year or so ago.......
I wasn’t after his 2nd half of 2021, but he went to another level last year.
He’s the exception that proves the rule though. For all the ones who look like they are gone (kennedy, Jones) and still survive and thrive there are 10 others who look like they aren’t up to it, and that analysis proves correct.
I think he’s looked more at home at the level than Dow or Stocker, and seems to have the body and smarts to match it at top level.
However, I’m not sure what position he is. Only thing I really see him being is 3rd defender, and maybe break glass in case of emergency forward.
If Gov and Marchy can’t get fit, Kemp can fill that 3rd tall role. If both those guys stay fit, I think Kemp would need to look elsewhere for opportunities.

I think you know what you get with EC, similar to Newman, although there's more leadership density and better coaching I don't think we've passed the need for more consistent players who give you a solid 7/10 and provide leadership, not when the other choice is a flaky one dimensional mid who occasionally plays a blinder*
*Literally last time, his first quarter against Essendon before the huge black eye was arguably his best ever game

im not sure dow is even on a pecking order - deadwood and the club just waiting it out - his contract extension will be used as a case of what not to do in future i reckon.
does seem to be good fun around the boys so thats one good thing i guess

hard to tell from here but I've never had the feeling dow has ever sulked it up or dropped his head.............
Same quite the opposite, seems to have a good attitude in that sense, as we know just lacking with some of the fundamentals required…

Yep.
Never been a fan of writing people off. We’re fascinating creatures with the capacity to astound and perform the most unlikeliest of feats. Dow has an opportunity to do something this year. No more, no less. We’ll judge the result at season’s end.

1 million % this!! Loved it
If he were a sulk, he wouldn’t have dominated in the twos and then would’ve asked for a trade
THIS!! Kicking has improved a bit, if the tank could follow suit then he’d be set
Good to see you Salty

100%.
Matt Kennedy was stuck in the VFL at a similar stage in his career to Dow. And for an extended period. Now one of the first picked.
It happens. Players take time to find their feet sometimes.
