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

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

From senior list to rookie list to 3yr deal.
Well earned.

Came from a long way back - both parties Carlton and Matthew have been patient - reward for effort.

I've had a soft spot for Bam Bam from day 1 when he signed with us and drove down to Wagga(?) to grab a Carlton jumper to wear for the news - he was so keen to wear the Navy Blue.
Love his intensity, how he has overcome so many hurdles and hopefully his body is over the silly niggles that held him back.
Strong in a contest, solid mark and doesn't make you completely terrified when he takes a shot at goal.

 

[Blue Reaper]

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

Ratts was one of my favorites and I’m a huge fan of BamBam. Has worked so hard and is now an indispensable part of our midfield. Just so wrapped he’s signed up and excited to see him continue to develop with his superhero mates in the midfield. And just turned 25.

 

[Jimmae]

Correct contract length given the situation.

He's earned the deal.

Was hanging on by a thread there for a little while, but has finally started to really put it together and play great footy. Rapt for him and for us! I thought a bunch of other clubs would come knocking with him out of contract at the end of this year.

yep, smart ploy to nail him down so early in season.

Sends a bit of a message to his team mates too!

 

[Accidental genius]

One word...

AWESOME NEWS!

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Good on him. Reward for effort and performance.

 

[ferrisb]

doesn't get much better than b & f in a flag team - fair team that 95.............

That 95 team against the opposition? Not what I call fair

 

[Bostonian]

Correct contract length given the situation.

He's earned the deal.

Sends out a good message that if you put the work in and it matches the output on the field you'll be rewarded by the club.

 

[ferrisb]

This wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support from BF Blues' very own ctacp!!!

Where you at, Vinny?!?!?!

I think this calls for another photo of your glorious Bam Bam banner!!!

 

[Blue Doormat]

Love this. Well done Matt. Well deserved.

 

[AB_Blue]

Wrapped…such a reward for the club and the player…go well MK

ctacp feeling like a proud dad right about now, I reckon.

When we traded in MK it meant that 5 of the top 25 picks of the 2015 draft went to us. Add JSOS and that could be one-third of the starting 18 of our next premiership (I still think Cuningham is a key piece of the puzzle)
Reckon Kennedy is the type of player who could win a Norm Smith, too

 

[Accidental genius]

Ideally contract length would have been 4 years. But 3 is still good.

Absolutely!

He is going to thrive as that quick evasive skill full type out of the centre to compliment our contested bulls just like how I think Carroll will turn out and they can be swapped out on a HFF/wing as well to add even more dynamics to the team.

We really are starting to show some "D" word and it's

We’re not talking “The Beatles” here.

Well deserved Matthew. It's a bloody good feeling when you see someone want it and do everything in there power to get it in the face of pretty stiff conditions physically and club wise. Great story.
He ain't slow he's my brother...

Well your brother is a bloody good player. Love how he fought it out and now getting the reward as is Carlton.

There was a mention in here some time ago that he was happy to go back to the family farm. I’m glad things have turned around since earlier last year.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Big thumbs up to both MK & the club. Handled really well.
Tough 25 year old big bodied mid about to hit his prime.
Ive got a feeling we’re going to enjoy these next three years.

 

[Blue Reaper]

MK’s commitment to the club, and this early in the season, shows his belief in the club’s direction & prospects. He could’ve easily waited for other suitors and likely better offers.

A lesson for others on the list in this.

 

[haveago]

Stupendous , wunderbar, bellissimo, bravo .........

He has become damn close to an A grader in his last 20 games or so and he still has upside.

14 disposals in third quarter last week

Awesome signing , well deserved.

An integral part of our new,powerhouse mid field .

Have always liked Kennedy, even before he was getting regular games. I've loved watching his progress and the way he goes about his footy.

He's definitely earned this contract and is one of our most important players. The reaction from the boys speaks volumes too.

Onwards and upwards from here Bam Bam!
