Suckling and jeffy are one way players. Neither can or do defend. Jeffy less of an issue but Suckling is horrible man on man. He might kick well but he has lots of warts.

If your partner has an awesome body but is crap in bed that ain't going to last.
At least Suckling can Kick as we have some Players who can't kick and can't defend

Didn't even show those classy traits that a Davis or Dids or rioli or Betts or Garlett or Kneed display.
No they didn't. But someone mentioned the 2 crumbing forwards we have drafted were Dick & Davis. The point is it's not that we haven't tried a few. Unfortunately they were all failures. They are gettable though. Cameron at the Crows was a rookie. So was Betts I think. Perhaps Hine doesn't have an eye for them like he does for flaky HBF's.

Good Point and When I 1st saw we Drafted Him. I thought of him a small damaging Forward but Club Stuffed his Development by as you say playing him out of Position in the VFL
It's a difficult balance, do you play a bloke in his AFL position and risk him stagnating or do you play him in another position to further his game?

Ideally I'd like to see a bit of both when in the VFL, so in the case of Kennedy stints in the middle and stints forward. By not having exposure as a small forward in the VFL it was a little unfair to expect him to succeed in an unfamiliar role when he was promoted to the seniors.

Also playing him as Sub just about everytime he played AFL hurt his Development at AFL Level
