Josh Kennedy

[ABRL]

Demonland seems to think they will have him by tomorrow.

Be fairly warned - there is no source there, nothing.

The deal will be done by tomorrow 3pm. Some supporters may get a shock for the compensation we will be giving Sydney, but you have to pay overs to get these sorts of deals done.

I am told we should be thanking Chris Dawes for the effort he has put in to get Josh across. He and Kennedy are mates from their Sandringham Dragon days.

Go Dees!!

Has anyone heard anything about this?

* edit well, if no-one has heard anything about this then perhaps it should be closed/moved to the Rumours board until something concrete emerges.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Can't see it happening for anything less than 2 and 3, even then I don't know why he'd want to go there.

Aren't sydney banned from trading ???

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Nothing says bullshit like specifying the hour it will happen.

 

[Chaisa]

Banned from trading players in.

Which would make it hard for us to accept this deal, unless he really is desperate to leave.

 

[Membling]

Well if true, and Kennedy is headed, I expect dees to bend over and be positively flush.....





With draft picks for us

Why, if you're just receiving draft picks for him and not trading in players?

 

[Membling]

Because premiership window... Mature players needed for a push... Etc

 

[hench]

2 and 3 for Joey Kennedy, hey?

 

[doona]

I wouldn't mind Heeney + pick 2 + pick 3 in this draft

 

[The_Reaper]

Would be the only to make recruiting Dawes worth it

Wrong. It smelt like bullshit when it said Dawes was the tipping point. Like seriously what could he have said to Kennedy to sway him?

Oh Josh just imagine it we can recreate the halycon days at the Dragons. BFFs 4eva

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I actually heard this early today and just dismissed it. Surely not?

 

[scooby1279]

Ain't happening..

 

[master bate]

With Heeney and very highly rated kids coming in next year the last thing Sydney needs is two top picks. Ok sure maybe a key forward is handy, trade out Tippett next year or the year after to Brisbane maybe and take a key defender as well and that's a really good set up around Mitchell, Heeney and Mills etc. But there's a premiership window. If the swans are trading out Kennedy then why not retire Goodes and keep Membrey and so on.

The only way this gets done besides Melbourne's huge offer is if the Swans have a compassionate reason to let Kennedy go.

 

[Whiskers]

Yeah I've heard this from a 'supposed' reliable source.
Picks 2&3 for Kennedy, heard a while ago aswell that Kennedy wasn't happy with some teammates.

Melbourne would have the cap space to offer big money for a few years. I think it's an insane move on their part though. They need quality kids after screwing up pretty much every recruitment decision of the last 5 years.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Would have thought Roos had more pull in this than Dawes if true

Maybe that's the reason they want to trade in ready-made players? Scared of buggering up 2 top picks again....

 

[markm106]

As good as Kennedy is I wouldn't be giving up 2 and 3. I think the Trengove deal opened up some options with one of those picks plus 12. Now that's off I expect we go to the draft with 2 and 3.

Come on! The Dawes and Sandringham dragons connection is a perfect part of the story. Roos is way too obvious.

Personally if I were making one of these up I'd go with George Stone. He's already a bit of a mythical father figure type.

Yes we are going to sub contract out our drafting to Barry Prendergast, I'm sure Carlton won't mind.

 

[KissKiss]

Have been hearing stuff about Dees chasing someone big for about a week now so this makes sense

 

[AjsGuns]

Probably a good trade for Melbourne if you look at it like #2 and Frawley but yeah #2 and #3 seems overs.. Would be a huge get though for Melboune. I read somewhere on BF Melbourne released a statement saying they were now taking their picks to the draft today?

 

[The GOAT]

Anyone else think 2 and 3 would be fair? Don't really see how that can be overs for a guy in his mid 20s who is one of the best players in the comp.
