gift.

He finished up at Carlton with 99 games, so if we can get him to 100 for the F/S, maybe the gift will live on...

All jokes aside, seems like a top bloke and no doubt will be best 22 and add some hardness and size. All the best in the red, white and blue Matt!

Go well Chugga.

Wonderful guy, good player, good pickup for the Dogs. Hopefully he feels a bit more valued at the Kennel, don't think he was one of Voss' favourites which is a shame cos the guy can really midfield, just needs good rotations and a bit of supporting leg speed around him.

 

[Jeremias]

You've got a much loved player - endeared himself to the club and supporter base with his personality and attitude.

No doubt you will love him too.

All the best, Bam Bam.

 

[King Harold]

Welcome aboard Matt !
Good addition for us

 

[Testekill]

Looking at his highlights from this year and in particular his tackling, he just latches on and doesn't let go. Our tackling this year was soft at times so that's a big change.

Thanks we have good rotations but it’s the leg speed we lack !

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Welcome Bam Bam, hopefully you cement yourself in our 22, and find the success that eluded you at Carlton.

 

[seaweed]

Welcome aboard, Bam Bam!

Opposition supporters popping in to commend him is a pretty big tick in my eyes so I’m keen to see what he can do.

 

[maddog37]

Go well young man.

The total opposite of the junk we just jettisoned down the highway.

 

[Testekill]

Someone on WOOF described him as ALDI Dunkley and that seems fitting, a lot of the same traits he has but not quite as good.

 

[geoffjennings79]

I've gotta get that tattoo fixed...

Anyway welcome aboard Matt Kennedy!
Woof, woof, woof!

 

[X_box_X]

My favourite Carlton player.

 

[Pep_x]

A proper short back and sides. No Caffeine shampoo conditioner mullets with this lad.

 

[BlueTongue]

Spewing to see him traded (especially for 38) but honestly happy that he got to a great traditional Vic club with a Premiership Window open. Will be a very good addition to you guys and give you a lot of options.

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Always impressed me for the blues with his hardness, tackling etc which is definitely a need for the team.

 

[Foxman98]

Miiiiiiiiissssssssssterrrrrrrr Kennedy!!!

Going to surprise a few fantastic pick up

 

[Dogsman16]

Whilst not an upgrade on Macrae as a player (or resume i should say), I think he offers more regarding the hybrid forward/mid role.

Seems like a positive character as well. Top 10 in a BnF this year can’t be overlooked either.

 

[Blue By Blood]

Hope he goes well for you guys and I hope he gets the mid time he wants.

He has his limitations (lack of speed) hence why you got him for pick 38 but he’s a very good player and very versatile. What he’s strong at he does very well (strong contested extractor, tough tackler, good overhead mark, solid kick).

Will float between midfield and half forward for you guys like with us but presumably he’s been offered more mid time to make the move because he played every game for us this year. He finished top 10 in our BnF and won best clubman. I think of all the players we’ve leaked in recent years he’s the best of the bunch and he might quickly become a fan favourite for you guys. Usually I don’t feel compelled to post on oppo boards but I’m disappointed to lose Kennedy.

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Welcome Matt, whilst speed is a pressing issue in this team we certainly can’t turn our nose up at the toughness and tackling he provides. Good move by the Dogs.

 

[MrJimmy]

Got yourselves a rippa there guys. Good luck Chugga. Hope you tear it up

 

[Scotch N Coke Monatore]

Hooray, a player with strength and bulk who can tackle hard. We need that. Welcome.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Good to see Carlton supporters are actually upset to see him go. Sometimes opposition supporters seem almost relieved.

We need someone to help in the transition away from Libba and Treloar over time so he’s the right age.

 

[ESKIE]

You’re gonna love him, he’s a ripper, great player great guy.
