Game Day Carlton Reserves Game Day Discussion Rnds 2 - 19

[1981]

The only upside in all this is at least the club are learning about players

Hard to see LOB, Kennedy and SPS at the club next year. Add Newnes too who was always a stop gap measure.

Whereas Honey looks fit, hungry and skilled.

Shame Durdin isn't in today because he has zip, skill and likes a tackle.

 

[Coona Blues]

A lot more similarities than just the number 17. Brodie Kemp reminds me so much of a young Brent Crosswell, and will be just as versatile. (sorry young 'uns)

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Feel for Kemp. A lot of casual VFL watchers will be tuning in to a televised game to see his long awaited debut and we're dishing up this?
A lot of those will be tuning out now.
I've been drifting in and out while doing house work, but Kennedy seems to be working hard. Kemp looks good. Can't wait for him to get a few games under his belt. Hopefully a seniors debut isn't too far away.

I'll join the chorus of discontent around Samo. Just seems to have lost it. Have we killed his confidence by persisting with playing him down back? Hard to see him bouncing back. Just doesn't seem to have the hunger.

TDK was an offshoot

Bloody hell, I was trying to think of the 3rd piece of that trade, could only think of Kennedy and LOB, should’ve looked it up

Would be fair to say that’s our winning part of the trade but it could’ve been so much better, the TDK pick was the smallest piece of currency we got

So yeah, a win for us in the end, even with 2 pretty big misses out of 3

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Trade is looking like a lose/lose at this stage

I keep telling people we should have traded him the previous year but will people believe me... nope!

LOB still has a contract until the end of next year.

That’s a big compliment if he’s half as good we’d be laughing …

 

[BigFrizz36]

It seems that some who couldn't make critical sweeping statements last night have re-found their voice.

 

[cookie monster]

You really need to have a better look at that trade before firing off posts like this

I suppose you are going to tell me we should be considering Kennedy's contribution in the evvaluation of that trade?

 

[Jimmae]

Where was the pace in that video? Looks the same 1 paced player to me, just skinnier.

Agree. Not a quick player, never has been. Has a decent top speed but takes a bit to reach it.

Don't give up your day job, because you're tuning out when he suddenly bursts and escapes the congestion... in almost every clip.

That's what disappeared.

TDK?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Not using this as an excuse, because we've been woeful, but does anyone know the free kick count?
Seems very one sided.

 

[Dramoth]

WTF... Newnes got rid of the ball cleanly. They didn't stick the tackle properly and he gets pinged... Free Kick Hawthorn again.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Kennedy is exactly where he should be, sadly.

 

[koutaaa]

Hawks ressies is what I hope our AFL team will be. Well drilled and ruthless

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

I keep telling people we should have traded him the previous year but will people believe me... nope!

Because it was a better draft??

I thought we did the right thing myself, had to make a stand for something. Harry Hindsight suggests getting picks in earlier may indeed have been the way to go though...

Though as Arr0w pointed out, we did get TDK out of it when you unlock the whole trade, so a good win there for us

 

[jj1978]

Hmmm wonder if our defensive all round game plan isn’t cutting the mustard coaches...

It is very one sided... seems that what the field umpires couldn't do yesterday, they are doing today.

Leppitich summed in up a month ago.

"Richmond wouldn't draft that kind of player"

Always looked a suspect pick

Didn’t Richmond get Naish in the same draft?

You must have missed the parts where Kennedy was chasing the oppositon.

Looked like a dinghy race, except he'd fallen out of his boat.

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Everyone enjoying their Sunday afternoon?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Kemp playing behind the ball??

 

[Kruezing]

Everyone enjoying their Sunday afternoon?

I am …

 

[Jimmae]

Box Hill had like 17 players in shot just then... with us having 20 metres of space on the left flank coming out of defence.

Are you telling me no one can run up to centre wing and present?

 

[thylacine60]

I keep telling people we should have traded him the previous year but will people believe me... nope!

why should anyone believe you about anything anymore than anyone else?
