I don't care what people say, whether Joey played for 1.5 quarters or whatever, whether or not he was fresher than others, doesn't make a difference to me, Joey was playing for his life on Monday. I don't really care, the main thing for me was he was being played in position. I've said it before, but Kennedy needs to spend time in the middle, probably not the whole game, but he needs to play periods in the middle where he's playing to his strengths and can have a positive impact for the team.
There's a balance to be struck between playing to Joey's strengths, and developing our youth. It's pretty straight forward imo, the coaching staff just need to adjust their plan, and get Joey into the middle throughout the game.
You could see the competitive fire was still burning for him, he was hunting the ball like a man possessed.
I don't think I've ever questioned the swans coaching team and have always backed their decisions. But this is a situation where I'll be watching closely.
