Kenny at CHF

[pext]

This experiment seemed to die a premature death in my opinion. Last year Kenny showed some good signs at CHF. He is clearly our best contested mark, as well, which makes him the best option at CHF in my opinion.

This was one of the few Aryesy moves that I think had some serious merit.

I'm interested to know if any of the guys at training have seen anything to indicate either Bocky or Rowdy being groomed for CHB or the K-Mac lurking with intent at CHF during drills?

 

[conVINCEd]

Kenny is our CHB.

That's all folks.

 

[Crowked]

I dont mind Kenny playing CHF, however he is easily our best CHB too. I would prefer to see him stay at CHB because basically no one else has shown enough to qualify as an adequate replacement for him there.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

IMO, Kenny should remain our CHB, However, on match-day if we are struggling, we should remain flexible to throw him forward if need be (but as a temporary option).

Couldnt agree more, he looks very comfortable most of the time at CHB. I am sure that Craigy will have someone in mind now to groom and nurture at CHF.

Good point, but I'd personally like to see our side start to settle, with players particularly down the spine being given game time in the same positions. Most premiership sides have a very settled side.

Hence, Kenny for CHB.

Hentschel has the all round talent and strength to be a star rebounding CHB. I think he could do the job beautifully and free up the K-Mac if need be. So now I ask, if Kenny can be freed up and put in the mix, who would be our best CHF at the moment?

IMO, CHF is the hardest spot to play and therefore your best tall player should be there. Our best tall is Kenny, hands down.

Kenny to CHF. Henschel to CHB. Best of both worlds. A developing player with good arial strength, smooth skills and great awareness rebounding off half back and a power forward providing a target and winning the ball at CHF.

Case closed!

I sort of agree, but not totally. I think Hentchell has the potential to be a better CHF than Kenny. I dont think CHF comes naturally to Kenny at all. He was IMO nearly a discard until he went to CHB. He has done the job a few times when put in the front half since but has been far more impresive at CHB for mine. I think Hentchel has more natural forward instincts than Kenny and you cant teach people instinct.

Far from case closed me thinks. CHF will still be a big problemo for a couple of seasons until either TH or perhaps Watts can step up and be consistent winners up there.

Case Closed?????? Not quite.

Hentschel might be more attacking CHB BUT he doesn't have the aerobic capacity to run with the best CHF out there and this is by his own admittion. Brown, Reilwoldt, Tredrea etc... have ENOURMOUS aerobic capacity and the only player that can go with them for a whole year is Kenny McGregor.

Kenny is one fo the best CHBs in the competition. He plays his best footy in the back half and thats where he should play. Groom Hentschel and Watts as a CHF over the next couple of year.

While Perrie is not the sharpest tool in the shed he will always give you a contest at CHF. Perrie is a better CHF than McGregor. McGregor is a great pinch hitter there but he plays his best footy at CHB, and the side has also played better when Kenny has been played as a CHB.

I think we can leave kenny at CHB - NC is more concerned about fixing other problems that the only part of the team that is working - IMO the back 6 needs the least work (ok I realise thats fairly obvoius), Hentschel is out best talent up forward by so far its sad, we need to get the best out of him and at the moment thats letting him run riot in the forward line,

Vote 1 for Kenny CHB !!

 

[noddy]

Vote 1 for Kenny CHB !!

Vote 2-39 for Kenny at CHB.

We gotta have a settled 1st class back six & that means Kenny at chb.

Exactly right. If its not broken dont fiddle with it. There are other positions that need fixing, but it's not CHB.

That my friends belongs to Mrs. McGregor's little boy Kennyyyyyyyyyy

Nope. Kenny ALWAYS is at CHB in the drills - always.

I don't think Craigy is giving CHF a moment's consideration for Kenny.

On the other hand Perrie is ALWAYS at CHF which probably also says something.

Hentschel seems to vary - sometimes up forward, sometimes down back, and that might also be a clue as to his up-coming season.

Bock has been a bit of both as well.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Bock has been a bit of both as well.

Wouldn't think with all players available that Bock could get a spot in the forward line?

Gee S Stevens better do something in the Wizard Cup (if he gets a game) - his value is dropping quickly

 

[Cove Cobra]

Very good to hear.

Hopefully they will persist with him in the season proper. All the fella needs is a bit of confidence and he will go alright this year.

He will probably have a couple of down games but his ability to keep the ball in the area will help the runners.

Like R Biglands is Ruck? Case Closed?

The modern AFL footballer MUST be flexible..as does the coach with his thinking. I am not saying KM should be played elsewhere but to have that closed mind attitude will see a club go backward

Oh and I do consider KM our starting CHB in most games

 

[pext]

Fair enough.

If Kenny is spending his time at CHB during the drills then I guess Craigy intends to do what he has been saying all pre-season.... Build up the team from the platfrom of a solid defensive unit.

I have no problem with that as Kenny is one of the premier CHB's in the league.

Just thought I would throw one up that may solve our CHF problem.

PC - my "case closed" remark was in response to the Pext line......

"Kenny to CHF. Henschel to CHB. Best of both worlds. A developing player with good arial strength, smooth skills and great awareness rebounding off half back and a power forward providing a target and winning the ball at CHF.

Case closed!"

I agree entirely with you flexibility remarks - and agree that no positional issues can be dismissed as easy as "case closed". To do so as you say is not to progress. Kenny is our best option at CHB and unless there are serious injury worries - he should play most of his footy there.
