Even a slightly unfit Kennedy would be better than Blair.
Just stick him in the forward pocket and let him sneak a few goals.
F**k it. It's time for me to return to Aus and take over the coaching job at Collingwood.
Blair better make me eat my words today or I could go on a rant which will bore the crap out of all you unfortunate fellow posters.

Kennedy the sub? Has that been confirmed? If thats the case im truly disenchated with whats going on down there.
Not confidant, if we dont hit the scoreboard early and get some confidence i can see this being another long frustrating afternoon.

You live in Perth? Surely it would be on free to air there?
Yep. It's on the club's twitter feed.
I'm actually a little worried that we could loose him because of it. He still not re-signed and both South Australian clubs are on record as being interested (in both him and Broomhead). If he keeps getting the sub vest he may request a trade home for more opportunity.

Whilst I can understand BenKen as sub it still pisses me off.
I know players and coaches are in constant communication but surely any player becomes disenchanted when he has a really good gsme then is sub the following 2 weeks.

Kennedy is a good impact player but fact remains he is a better player than Blair. So why play him for only 20% of the game? If true its typical of the crap coaching lately
As much as I hate to admit it Kennedy does make more sense as the sub rather than Blair. Blair is really a one dimensional type of player, and if we don't get any injury, the idea of the sub is to come on between the 3rd & 4th quarter to create a bit of run and have an impact. Blair isn't quick, nor is he an impact player. My feeling on him is that he is either best 21 or not selected.
However impressive bucks is in the media, his team selection, positioning of those players truly baffles the mind.

In fact, he's so unfit that when he played a full game he was in our top 3 players
This.^^
We've seen him get one chance this year and play well, and he gets the sub vest AGAIN!
Simply mind boggling from Buckley

I agree. If you think about the experience that we lost from the side this week, it was always going to be one of the three you mentioned (all young and inexperienced).
Bucks is a master troll; good to see the same posters lose their shit before the game has even started.
So what u basically saying is kennedy is banished to the subs bench because he is a more talented player than blair. Yep, that makes sense bucks

Obviously Kennedy is the sub for a reason; just because you do not know that reason (or perhaps you know what the reason could possibly be and simply disagree with it) does not make the decision incorrect.
If BenKen gets an uninterrupted pre-season, he will not be the sub at all next year. Just be patient.

How long before the game are the teams officially submitted?

Nope not saying I agree with Kennedy as sub. I'm saying Blair shouldn't be sub. Personally, like many, I don't think he should have been selected. But now that he has, he shouldn't be sub because he isn't the sort of player who can have an impact or change a game even when he's in form. Based on the 22 selected I'd have preferred Young to be sub. Kennedy is in better form, but Young is the sort of player who can take advantage of coming on late and have an impact, especially with that penetrating kick he has.
