Who were the one's earlier in the year who said the same about Kennedy. He come good and will be better when his ankle is sorted.
He's a receiver Laj, he doesn't win his own football and to a team like us that makes him next to worthless!
If we were over-loaded with inside ball winners and need a silky finisher he'd get a run, but under pressure and without the delivery he looks very very very ordinary!

He would want to because he has stunk.

That same argument could be made for another player

Kennedy and Lang need high quality players around them......

I don't fully judge players until I've seen them play fit. But yes, would want to show a bit.

No but maybe i should be.
Seem to be a few people who really rate this kid, including after tonights effort.
What i see is some rookie mistakes time and time again.
He does things that are good. He does things that are terrible.
The way i see him could probably be best summarised by Kerridge tonight.
Kerridge had 2 shots on goal.
One danced around 2 players, couple of steps, bangs it from 55. Goal.
Second, similarly dodged and went bang from 50. Out on the full....by a fair margin.
Kerridge had 22 touches - good
only 7 were contested - average
5 clangers for the night - terrible.
0 tackles too - terrible (he and mullet were the only 2 with 0 tackles
Whatever there is to like about Byrne, there is just as much to not like....including his body holding up to the rigours of the game.

Kennedy is way better. He wins his own footy

Agree, but his ball use is very average and he is slow.......
Lang is lazy and wants the easy ball.....

That's the key isn't it.....
For a 21 game player he goes OK....but the fact that he's only played 21 games in four years counts against him.
Doubt he'd be discarded at the end of this year so hopefully he gets a bit of continuity next year.

I wish we had another three or four as good as him.

First year he came over from Ireland never having played the game so counting that is a bit rough, last year was a knee reco.
When he's fit he plays seniors, the club has a very high opinion of him.
