Josh Kennedy... the next J.Brown?

[bluesforever]

I've heard and read many reports on this guy... could we have the next Brown? He's certainly as tall enough, and if he puts on a few more kg's he could be a nightmare for opponents in years to come.

Anyone here seen him play?

Lets give the kid a chance firstly recover from his injury, then to actually put the boots on and get a game or two before we start labelling him the next whoever!

He's no J.Brown.

His style of play is probably more of a skilled version of Earl Spalding. He is big and strong and is constant motion. He has a great engine for a big bloke, but he is not explosive off the mark like a Brown.

He is as honest as the day is long, will not shirk an issue and will make defenders pay for getting in front of him.

Will be in the Dark Navy Blue jumper for many years to come.

Pull your head in. He might turn into the next Clint Bizzell after he was named the next G Ablett.

Sounds more like a more aggressive Kernahan to me. Gee I hate doing that though.
Lets hope the kid is part of our long term future and plays over 200 games.

I'd take that

And Kernahan wasn't aggressive enough Slurry?

Towards the man. No. Did you ever watch the great man?
And If you are going to be a smart ass, please don't.

 

[FIGJAM]

If he was the next J. Brown, you'd have taken him #1.

 

[Pivot]

No comparisons needed. The kid looks the goods and has a great attitude both on & off the field. Isn't that enough? Do we need to say he is Jonathon Brown, Steve Kernahan or whoever? He is Josh Kennedy and has his own style, skills, footy nous, etc. I don't want a Brown, Kernahan look-a-like, I want a Josh Kennedy 200 gamer at CHF playing his own style.

 

[stokesy]

I hope young Josh doesn't read message boards.

Next J Brown, settle down.

 

[bluesforever]

Ohh it's not ganna hurt to hope...

 

[Funkalicous]

Comparisons aren't unusual at this time of year. They let supporters know what to expect of a young gun.

It's happening everywhere:

Murphy = Cousins
Deledio = Judd
Tambling = Wells
Franklin = Riewoldt
Thomas = Hird
Hurn = Riccuito
Sylvia = God
ect..

Lets wait and see him play a season or so before we start making predictions about this kid. Certainly his attitude is terrific, but so is Prenda'a, although one would hope he'd go on to bigger and better things than Prenda.

 

[defier]

Anybody who has seen him play will tell you he has all the attributes required to play AFL. Surely thats enough?

Saying an 18 year old is an aggressive Kernahan is more ridiculous!

Does that make him a Wayne Carey?

If that is what you think I implied, the I think the heat is getting to you.

 

[Silvagnis]

What then does an "aggressive Kernahan" mean?

I rapt to have Kennedy, but it's ridiculous to label a kid like that when Gumbleton or Hansen would have gone number 1 this year.

 

[Silvagnis]

If he was the next J. Brown, you'd have taken him #1.

Carlton had him ranked as the second best kid in the draft.

 

[macca69]

how is his shoulder injury coming along?

 

[Muji]

very well macca, his got the sling off and is doing sprints and wont start the aggressive stuff for another month or so, but his attitude towards everything is great, hope he can get back well and play a few games.
