Exit Plan for JK

[MrWoollie]

Let him choose.

He deserves that.

Yeah at this point you just ask him every week if he wants to play

 

[Tugga27]

The game against adelaide is looking likely as a farewell match

No Derby you think?

 

[KERRPOW]

No Derby you think?

Its dockers home derby, i think the thought of that being his last game is icky.

Unless we beat them

 

[Westend]

They should make a big deal about it v Adelaide but still have him play v Freo.

I agree

 

[Westend]

No Derby you think?

Reckon JK would love to go out with a derby game

 

[ThePuma #9]

Send the great man off with a win in a home game.

Adelaide makes sense.

He has nothing left to achieve and it’s not making a difference to our year so let’s say goodbye in the classiest way possible.

Eagles to salute Kennedy in fitting Optus farewell

West Coast’s round 21 home clash with Adelaide is looming as Josh Kennedy’s likely farewell match to lower the curtain on his 290- game, 711-goal career.

Why not derby I'm sure freo will be classy and stand up and cheer for a fellow WA man

We wont be controlling the entertainment being an "away" game.

 

[KERRPOW]

Its a pity he couldnt reach 300 games for west coast.

I'm sure Fremantle will be willing to negotiate since he's a fellow WA man? Maybe put a blowtorch on it and say JK wants derby farewell but Fremantle have control. Guaranteed Fremantle will be willing to give it up

Channel Nine explicitly stated tonight that Round 21 vs the Crows will be his final game.

 

[Hack_Watts]

I would love to go to the Worsfold Medal event this year to see the great man sent off in style by the club. How much do tickets typically cost for that event and when is it normally held? Will this be announced soon?

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Nothing special about a derby that it needs to be his final game.
If it does turn out to be his final game, he'll get the proper send off in the previous game vs Crows. I reckon he's such a humble bloke that I don't think he will mind too much.

 

[WCErevival]

I can see it now against the Crows. Down by 5 points as the siren goes. After taking a mark, JK is 80m out and unleashes a torp that wins us the game as both his knees simultaneously fall apart. The crowd erupts and we go on to finish 17th.

The greatest ever WA full forward - how fitting

I thought a free BBQ would go down well.

Having Pav on the boundary being salty AF at now being the 2nd best would be perfect.

Russel Gibbs on radio:

He also confirmed that West Coast were planning for Josh Kennedy to have a farewell game against Adelaide at Optus Stadium next weekend.

“Certainly that is the plan at this stage. He has still got to get through training to play the game. I know there are a lot of guys that would like to play with Josh. He is highly respected throughout the club,” he said.

Why is the farwel game so low key?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Why is the farwel game so low key?

My assumption is it’ll be the biggest story and the only thing they pump up once we get past the GC game. There’s been a bit of a drip feed of this info for weeks, but I guess they don’t want to be accused of looking too far ahead?

Dunno. Hopefully it gets the all guns blazing treatment come tomorrow 5pm.

 

[ep2018]

Apparently likely to be his last game too I understand not coming along to the GMHBA slaughterhouse in the last round but he should play in the derby.
