Ive seen Gumby a few times as a junior and i can tell you he doesnt drop chest marks on a regular basis (hi Kennedy)..
Jonathan Brown averaged 3.8 marks in his first season (I'm assuming 2000 was his first, if not it re-enforces my point further), Kennedy 3.6.

Try again.

I like the look of Kennedy from what I have seen so far. But watching Gumbleton at training whilst he was supposedly carrying an injury, his hands were like clamps. He looks awesome.
An earlier post was spot on though, we will wait and see how he goes against men. Give them both 3 years and it might be like comparing Dunstall to Lockett

Why is Roughead being brought into this? All i said was the truth. Kennedy really does suck :)
Put Dawson or Dowler on him and we'll see who really sucks. ;) :cool:

At least Kennedy will never have a nickname like Footsteps Franklin and avoid crashing packs to take a contested mark like the plague. Kennedy is still young but he's still showing good signs for the future is a good tackler who ran down faster opponents and set up a few goals last week.

Kernahan didn't debut until he was 23.
Kennedy is the new Travis Gaspar, big and athletic and hits packs hard but never marks it and is a poor kick.
Kennedy is a better talent Lynch and Hansen and he'll be a better player than both those good ordinary players, but it's no surprise an Eagles fan doesn't recognise a gun KPP when he sees one. ;)

Here's two videos I found of Kennedy dropping marks and not kicking straight against WCE and Essendon. :rolleyes:

Carey liked what he saw.

Gee some ground shattering evidence there.. one was an uncontested mark 10m out and the other was more notable for Houlihans cheap hit.

Come talk to us when he kicks a bag or 2 and tears a game open.

Lance is only 6 months older than Kennedy.... Yeah I know, scary isn't it?
