Traded 7. Matthew Kennedy - Traded to the Western Bulldogs :((

Kennedy is an elite kick, mark, tackler and generally one touch at the stoppages. His 2nd efforts, blocks before and after the contest are rare compared to many of the players on our list, has great team ethos. Suffered from an ankle injury most of 2020, but we saw many of those elite/solid attributes 2nd half of 2021.

Sure, not the most agile or quickest player going around, but has lost that extra weight and looked to be moving a fair bit better. I think a more contested gameplan will continue to help Kennedy's game and can/does win his own pill

If H is resting on the pine or doing a stint in the ruck, would like to see Kennedy playing out of the square when he is rotating/resting forward

Well surmised

Nah. Wines would be around average for leg speed, Kennedy a little below. It seems to be a mission of yours to convince the world otherwise however, so carry on.

Yawn.

Did you know - Scott Pendlebury's 3.01, Marcus Bontempelli's 3.2 and Patrick Cripps' 3.23.

No way known is Wines quicker than Kennedy.

Whole body shape has changed. Has dropped weight but lost none of his strength. Super-fit. Also looks super confident (on hearing him speak after the game it is all about Vossy giving him belief).

Is now in our top 5 on-ballers...clearly.

Looks a little bigger and stronger for mine and playing that way.

Kennedy is gonna steal too many votes off Sam and Cripps for Charlie win
As long as there are more W’s than L’s
I don’t mind

Kennedy re-signs til 2025! Huge news and a massive reward for effort by Bam Bam.

After being rookied and close to gone, he has turned his career around and I love what he's providing us.

Love this. Reward for performance. You can tell Vossy loves the way he plays, tough, physical and skilful.

A good news story considering he was a second away from out the door completely. Sets an example for others, you put the work in you get rewarded

HUGE example for the likes of LOB and Dow who are essentially where he was last year. Not too late to turn things around.

In saying this, like you say - Kennedy's style was always going to gel with Vossy. It was just a matter of fitness and attitude - both of which seem to be in good shape.

One of my favourites.

Way to go Kanga. Need a strong number 7 in the team to win #17

Good piece of business, I imagine a few clubs like * and tigers making a play. Great to see he will be around for 17,18,19

 

[Foucault1989]

Carlton's social media team is the best in the business.

So rapt! Essendon and Richmond would have been right into him! Big part of our future

 

[marcmurphy3]

Great news for him and us. By signing him this early we probably got him for slight unders in terms of $ value which will be important in resigning other players. Must have been tough the last few years always feeling like you are playing for your career.

 

[Jatz]

No brainer this one.

 

[dangertroy]

Great to see him rewarded - must have been a rollercoaster for him the last few years. We had to move early because he's a free agent for life - easy to see a few other clubs starting to talk decent money and promises of being the main man in the middle to him. Setterfield's agent is probably going to get a few phone calls this morning...

 

[bigblueboy]

Our list management team is kicking goals. Sign the important ones, get value at trade and draft, keep the pressure on the borderline players to perform.

 

[Kramer1]

Great news, and MK isn't the type to sign a long contract and drop it back a couple of gears. Onward christian soldier!

 

[Coona Blues]

That is one serious highlights package!!!!!!!!

Just in from a couple of hours gardening, my old stuffed body exhausted. Seeing this news, now feeling no pain. Great news day, one of my favourites here for the long haul. Ecstatic.

Congratulations and thank you Bam Bam.

 

[thylacine60]

He's a beauty. Not completely unlike a previous wonderful wearer of the 7. Ratts be happy with his toughness and skill.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Great news and proof of his hard work. Well done to all parties.

 

[Revenant1965]

So excited. Glad he has signed. Thought he would 'make it' as a player, but he's gone next level to my expectations. And love that smile of his.
