Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII - A return to normalcy

[ctwenty1]

Smith for Kennedy - Austin get it done.

Maybe Austin found an oil lamp

Wish 1 - 12,14 and Owies for Pick 3
Wish 2 - Kennedy for Smith
Wish 3 - Packet of Chips for Trac

Bye Chugga! Hope it was for 35!

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Yep - done deal

Any word on compensation or just that he's heading that way?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Also, I thought Kennedy wants more mid time? Dogs have a strong midfield.

Although getting weaker in recent years. Dunkley, Smith, Macrae all leaving. Libba 30+. Also there mids aren't really the big slow types so maybe they can afford him in there more then us.

Already done - but I’m not across the details yet sorry.

Love this for Matthew Kennedy. He’s clearly become an unrequired player at Carlton, so it’s good to see that he can continue his career elsewhere.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Ahhh **** - SOS could be serious, if 32 isn’t going to get it done for McCrae he could be looking to split 8, we take part of the split & give him back the Kennedy/Bull Dogs pick & a little something else (from Dogs)

Seems like a weird choice for him though, they seem pretty set for inside mids at the moment, no?

 

[The Bighouse]

I heard that Saints were sniffing around Kemp several days ago but as nothing had come out thought it may have been rebuked.


It's not beyond the realms that Kemp may be looking to move though, was dropped quite a few times (and prior to the prelim) and may not feel assured of his future at Carlton.

Interesting.

He’s just not that good - plays a dumb game too often.

 

[ajb72]

Kennedy is a good fit for the dogs. With Libba having concussion issues, it really does give Kennedy the opportunity to cement his spot and for the dogs to manage Libba.

 

[Wickzki]

Sorry APH

Thanks Matthew Kennedy. Am genuinely going to miss the hell outta you in the navy blue.

These are the hard decisions that sometimes hurt that the best clubs have got to make

For old times sake.

 

[carlton_99]

Kennedy gone.

Any idea who to and/or what for?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Bye Chugga! Hope it was for 35!

amazing if it is.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Any idea who to and/or what for?

Doggies - not sure what for yet

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Long shot but if Austin lands either 7 or 8 for Kemp, I would package that pick and Kennedy for Smith and a pick coming back

Hypothetical but if we get say a high 30’s low 40’s pick for Kennedy and then saints offer something irresistible for kemp. I’d then try to jump back in the ring for Houston somehow imo

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

& Daniel

Straight swap?

Smith and Macrae out are big, both would have been their 3-4th rotation.


Liberatore and Kennedy would be their inside mid rotation
Bontempelli, Sanders and Richards their more explosive, outside types.

I suspect that will be a pretty tight 5 this year.

 

[ctwenty1]

Im not sure how a plastics explosive home delivery service is somehow an ITK, but here we are

 

[Blue By Blood]

Kennedy will go to the Dogs expecting more midfield time and find himself rucking like they did with Dunkley.

In all seriousness I don’t see him getting any more mid time with the Dogs than he did with us. He’ll be moved around the ground to plug gaps. I don’t see trading Kennedy benefitting us as we won’t get value for him and we lose dependable depth.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

WaterIt’s hot in here today!

 

[Coona Blues]

Depends on the price we extract.

I love him but he's not untouchable.

Big fan, but yeah not untouchable, but not cheap.

Feel Vossy will always have him as a stop gap rather than give him opportunity to shine.

MK was on shaky ground for AFL games at CFC in ‘25.
WBD will be AFL games. A good fit IMO.

[Blue1980]

We underrate him because he's almost aggressively been misused to cover a wonky LM strategy..
It's understandable that someone would see him as a cheap acquisition that has a bit of ability.

Where should he be used? I think he is a 3rd defender, but Gov is better at doing the same thing.

They are going to want to put time into Saunders. He pushed McCrae out of the side at the start of the year.
