FFS - Give the kid a go he will be under enormous pressure as it is without his so called "supporters" sweating on every mistake he makes to crucify him.

Correct, you just have to wonder about the mentality of some people. I hope JK shoves it right up em and he becomes the player we believe he will.

I actually thought he looked quite servicable in the ruck in the second half, but you guys didn't like Pagan playing him there did you? Why was that, thought he was wasted? His run back with the flight of the ball shows he has courage and he's a big unit, so yes, you've got to give guys like that time.

I still think some Eagles supporters are cut up about a certain 2 players not being there that they expect every kid to come out and burn from bounce one and we know that doesn't happen with big men.

I can't believe that you guys drove such a hard bargain to get him, only to waste him as a back-up ruckman.

How the **** do you only have 2 genuine rucks on your whole list?
FFS, give him back and let us use him where he should be used.:(
 
You said it, it seems cruel to waste his ability at CHF:(.

Expect Kennedy to be in the paper about either getting into a fight, getting drunk and acting like a fool or having an addiction.:thumbsdown:

You've gotta feel for the guy!

OK, but that's what I'm asking you BB, and other Carlton supporters. Where do you think he should be used? I'm not knocking the kid, what I am saying is if he should be a certain position, ie FF or CHF then we should put him there and give him a run pre-season, at the expense of the incumbents in those positions.

Oh, and on your query about having only 2 genuine rucks, I thought Carlton, of all clubs would understand how that can happen! Although, we did pick up a third in the rookie draft and I would think they have enough faith in various players, including Kennedy it looks, to ruck around the ground.

You're confusing him for someone that WANTS to be a WCE..............like Chris Masten for example.:p

We have always had more than two rucks on our list.........its just they haven't been very good.:D

Kennedy did ruck for us last year, after McLaren was injured with his back, Cloke did his shoulder, and Ackland pulled a heart muscle.........even then he was next choice behind our full back.

We had another two rucks on our list in Aisake and Hampson, but we didn't want to stunt their development by rucking them too soon.

If you have seen any of Hampson you'll ubderstand that this was a VERY good plan. He is about to set the comp on fire in the ruck........but I digress.

Kennedy is a lead up CHF who due to our "Kick it long to Fev" game plan constantly watched his hard work on the lead be ignored for a longer option.

He would fit nicely into our new game plan.

GIVE HIM BACK!!:D

I only saw the second half, and although he was quiet, he did give it 110% when he was close to the ball. Looked ok in the ruck, and even managed to stick it down the throat of one of his team-mates more than once. He'll get better during the season.

Crikey HBF, still making excuses for him? Let it go son :p.
