Pick a FF next weekend or clean out your locker Brendan, you're on notice.

Although Richmond did improve when they had that ill fated challenge.....
Nothing motivates like fighting for your life!

Those types you want to pick up in the third round or as rookies like Ed Curnow, you don't want to be trading good draft picks for them.
Why we were interested in Lang I have no idea.
If you revisit that swap you quickly find out he actually didn't cost us much in terms of a trade.
Which tells you a little bit about what we thought we were getting. We swapped pick 28 for him.
Perhaps we are being unrealistic. Sam Docherty looked a bit average in his first season with us too, but a year later he really improved. Let's hope this happens again (Kennedy was more surplus to requirements than Docherty was).

Kennedy is a solid foot soldier. He doen't have X-factor but could be useful with more talent around him. I don't see him as much more than that and have no expectations beyond that atm.

Both Lang and Kennedy had very interrupted pre seasons....don't judge them yet!

I agree, they both need a full pre-season then a string of games before we can tell what they bring. I do like patches of what I've seen from Kennedy. Lang is a worry at this stage, doesn't seem to want to put his nose over the ball when required

Do interrupted pre-seasons explain not contesting, or being brushed aside by a teenager?

Lang's not a worry, because players like him are a dime a dozen!
Cripps is the worry!

I saw St Kilda play earlier this year and they were shocking, as bad as us in fact.
If we bring our competitive game we can beat them, provided we pick another tall forward even if it's Casboult.
I can't believe I just said that but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Re: 2018 Rd 16: Pre Game Prattle: Carlton vs St Kilda - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-08-2018
Got a lot of injuries the Saints and they dont have the star power of Cripps and Charlie Curnow...I'd expect to win but it doesnt change anything..
Remember that Stkilda are a failed rebuild and are where you would expect them to be and bottom 4 material for a fair while yet.......
My son in law to be is a mad Saints fan and said he expects to lose by 5 goals......
