No disrespect to Macrae, who is a club legend, but I think Sanders takes his spot from Rd 1 and we don’t notice his absence.

Hopefully he gets there, currently Sanders has not shown anything to suggest he’s fit to tie Macca’s boot laces as yet. The knock on Macca is speed but Sanders wasn’t much quicker. He played half forward for 11 games this year, not his position sure but didn’t kick a single goal. People lament Macca’s dinky kicks but I legit have never seen a player handball backwards as much as Sanders.

Hopefully has a big pre-season and we see a different beast next year.

How stupid is this 2pm crap, let’s make the trade period a spectacle by having the last day start at 2pm and finish at 7.30pm. Everyone will forget we ran trade period for 10 days and nothing happened.

Surely if you want it as a spectacle run it for 48 hours.

Kennedy is going to end up being a fan favourite.

He is a lot better than most are making out.

My boss is the biggest Carlton nuff you will meet and he says the same thing. He’s devo, reckons he’s his fave player

This could be a Leon Cameron moment for them. Something they might regret in hindsight

Kennedy kicks it to O'Halloran who handballs it to HARMES streaming into an open

Sounds too simple for us, we’d eff up the play and the opposition would go coast-to-coast on the rebound

Imagine what we could of got last year. I guess the decision for him not to play mid was made last offseason. He's never been able to play another position. Don't know why that would change. Fair enough to give him a chance but could have been great for both if a trade happened then. Bev and Sam not aligned there.

When he had 4 years left on a contact and no intention to leave?

I'm wondering what he brings that Macrae doesn't. It doesn't sound like pace and a slow midfielder isn't high on the list of priorities.

A lower salary is my guess

 

[Barking Mad]

Nooo, he's clearly coming to us, so he's slow, he's a plodder and he's s***. He must be.

Ahhhh another Rory Lobb then

Also the higher pick that Macrae should generate (hopefully) and Kennedy is probably a better forward and is 3 years younger. There’s a few reasons.

Macrae is clearly a better overall player but in his current role? Debatable.
