Like most Carlton supporters, I am a big fan of Kennedy and sad to see him go but understanding of his want to play more midfield minutes. Our midfield was too one-paced when trying to accommodate him, Cripps and Hewett. Disappointed he didn't get one more game to get to 100 Carlton games. All the best to him at the Doggies. Given their midfield, I am surprised that they were the club to get him.

We don't have Cripps/Hewett types outside of Libba who is mid 30s and 1 head knock away form serious trouble,

Kennedy's overhead ability at half forward will make him a very valuable pick up

Hoping he frees up Richards and Bont the way he frees up Cripps to do his thing

He'll fill the same role that Macrae did this year and we will probably rest Libba more this season so he'll get to rotate more.

Kennedy can play but his type's stocks are in the basement right now because most of the best clubs now play 0-1 slow midfielders and there's a lot of good slow midfielders out there. If he goes it will be for an early third rounder at best.

Pick 38, used to call those early thirds ... these days it's a late second, or even mid second. Pretty spot on. Should have traded him to Gold Coast, could have got a first rounder.

No doubt in my mind Kennedy nudged him out the door due to salary cap issues.

No doubt in my mind Kennedy nudged him out the door due to salary cap issues.

The same salary cap issues that saw us chase Stengle and Hayward, and have some interest in Houston?

 

[Vindicater]

So Macrae becomes Kennedy?

Seems a dud deal to me.
