Speculation Matthew Kennedy [OOC 2025]

[THE_GUN]

Carlton will take what they can get, if the best offer is pick 45 for example then that's what they'll take. A west coast future third could be pick 40, so not the worst offer.

Kennedy will find a home. Parfitt won't.

If Kenny survives the Port hordes he will be back rummaging through our hard rubbish collection in October.

Well he's contracted so no. More like shopping him around for the right price.

 

[LordLucifer]

I feel he will pull a pick somewhere in the 30-40 range subject to which club really wants him & why.

If there are a couple of clubs in the bidding he may net us a pick in the late 20's but that may be wishful thinking on our part too.

 

[THE_GUN]

North melbourne pick #40 should come in by 5-6 spots might be a good range
but i doubt Carlton would accept that as the pick will get consumed with the father sons

 

[Makeshift Park]

The age is reporting the saints, cats and pies are all into him.

Houston remains on Victorian radars; Owies waits on Blues

Back-to-back All-Australian defender Dan Houston remains a live trade target for Victorian clubs as Carlton forward Matt Owies prepares for an extended wait to discover his fate.

Can't imagine Saints being keen after getting Macrae's signature today.

I said above Cats and Pies should be keen, Dons too. Would be a very good fit for any of them

Might be able to package it up with 31 to get to a pick in the 20s

In what way?

Your pushing him out the door, you've lost all leverage. "Shopping him around for the right price"?, that's not a very good look for the club. "Oh we'll trade you so you can get more opportunities" and then squash the idea once you realise he has next to no real value.

Where has anyone reported we want him gone? The report was he sees himself as a mid and we see him as a half forward, so for his sake we're open to letting him explore the market if he can find somewhere who will promise him mid minutes.

Quality player that would be gladly welcomed back in the door if a fair deal can't be struck.

Have a truckload of other spuds we can force out if we need list spots and cap space that badly.

Kennedy is not the same as Owies or Young who are more likely actually being pushed out the door.

Or maybe it went something like this

Kennedy was upset with being subbed and asked to be traded to a team that plays him as a midfielder
and carlton said well if you can find a club that will satisfy our demands then we will consider the trade and if it suits all sides we can get it done if not no trade and you can wait untiil next year when you are a free agent that attracts a band 2

Someone talking some sense. It's a miracle

 

[Footy Smarts]

Feels like he's a victim of how the game has changed. 10 years ago he would've been a very handy 3rd or 4th midfielder. But it's hard to carry many players like him now.

I hope Geelong passes on him. If we're getting Smith he'll be down the pecking order for mids and he doesn't fit us as a forward.

 

[jooce8891]

I would brace for disappointment.

Gibbs aside, at no point in our recent history have we dug in.

this is the best player we've traded out since gibbs, lets just see how we go.

Yep. Once you suggest to a player to look around and find a home, the leverage disappears. He will nominate the team he wants to play for and a deal will need to get done. There is a reason why the Blues have asked him to find other options. History suggests he won't be back at the club. Blues need some points don't they for FS?

A free agent next year. He wouldn't be on much at all.

Why band 2? He wouldn't be on much and will be 29 as a free agent. It's a little different to 2023 as the contracts offered were very high taking into consideration the new salary cap, while being assessed against the much lower 2023 salary cap.

"The exact formula used by the AFL for free agency compensation picks is unknown but the facts can be analysed.

A points value is assigned to free agents based on:

• Their average guaranteed contract value
• What percentile of the AFL contracts theirs falls into
• Age - with 25-year-old's getting most value

Once the point values are assessed, free agents are ranked in bands with the top five percent getting a first-round compensation pick, while the bottom 30 per cent get no compensation."

Next year the Blues won't get much compensation for him.

Hes still a good player you just need 3 or 4 speed players around him which we have.

And unfortunately for Kennedy we have 1

 

[rye]

third rounder gets it done

 

[hawkman]

And unfortunately for Kennedy we have 1

Who is the 1?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Who is the 1?

Walsh

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Pick in the 30's is about right. Kennedy would be a handy 3rd/4th midfielder for a struggling team. Also relativelt versatile which has played against him. Carlton shifted him everywhere this season and I think it really affected his form.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Probably realistically worth a mid 2nd round pick. Will likely be traded for a couple of mid to late 3rd rounders.

Except for the band 2 bit
