I reckon he should play, but would be nice to see him play his 50th at Spotless.

Well done to kennedy who this week will join the likes of Treloar, Smith & Cameron in bringing up 50 games for the Giants
It's good to see Kennedy make it. Everyone always talks about all our high draft picks, but it's worth remembering that every club had three or four chances to take Kennedy in the 2010 draft and then the rookie draft that followed - nobody but nobody wanted him. So he came to us in 2011 for the NEAFL season and now he is easily sitting in our best 22 and performs solidly week in week out.
Great to see him hit this milestone.
He's also one of the nicest kids you'd ever like to meet. One of my favourites at the club.

Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
Spot on.
Known Adam since he was a kid and I'm so rapt for him because as you say he's just a champion fella.
Great family.
I watched him right through his under 18 career and thought he'd done enough and was glad he found his way to the Giants eventually.
Then it was just hoping he'd get a crack and when he got 30 touches or thereabouts on debut against Sydney in the inaugural game it was just fantastic.
So then I just hoped he could do ok and get another contract.
Now, all bias aside I reckon he'd be one of the first picked and if I were list management at Richmond I'd be going for him in a big way.
He's got 200 games written all over him.
He's highly skilled,quick and super courageous.
He was such a small kid but he's filled out and grown nicely.
So thrilled he brings his 50 up at the G against my Tigers and I'll be there to see it.
You've got a gem I reckon . One whose sparkle is hidden amongst the many other gems you have.
Well done Kenners and may you play many many more.
gee whiz giant
All Australian
I'm in full agreement. A 200-great clubman-gamer.
Imo, he's one of the core group that must be signed away for life if the club culture is to prosper as we all hope it will.

Next week against the roos its Greene's turn to join the 50 games club and have to say since his returned from his suspension his put together some very strong footy which is just as well for us given how manys mids were missing at the moment.
