We might have brought him in with an eye on easing the inside midfielder role transition from Libba to Sanders in a year or two.

As much as we love Libba & he defies logic at times, he’s genuinely one incident away from it being all over.
 
Blues midfield isn’t exactly durable, brave to move him on when Cerra/Hewett are made of glass, Walsh has no back and Cripps still carrying them.
Not to mention the rest of the midfield are all just as one paced, yet they’re saying they needed to move Kennedy on to solve that but who are they bringing in to make it quicker?

Also, they gave up this year's first and next year's 1st & 2nd to move up to 3 this year, so they have 1 realistic shot at a high quality mid in the next 2 drafts.

Depth could take a big hit in the year or 2.
 
I know getting older slows you down, I know we have been told he is on the slower side but when he was drafted, he ran a 3.13 second 20m sprint.
That's definitely not lighting, but it's okay.

Their recent drafts have already been nothing special, no real youth at all coming through.

They are betting on the Campo twins being great players, but both are going to be late picks so that is unlikely. Their list strategy has been bizarre to say the least.

Their 22 draft looks a lot better than ours at the moment with Hollands and Cowan.

We'd like to get games into Cooper Lord who's basically a younger Kennedy but a far better runner. Obviously not as good as this stage but the club has a lot of faith in him.

Plus Elijah and Ollie Hollands who are looking for mid minutes.

Cowan expected to move up the ground too whether it be wing or on ball in coming years.

Then we have pick 3 this year, and we have a freak F/S coming in 2026 who's widely tipped to go at the very pointy end of the draft.

Kennedy is a very good player and imo will be a good addition as a Macrae replacement, but it was the right time for the Blues to move him on.
