Indeed. Cunners has really shown something so far this year.

Cunningham out.
O’Brien in.
Bigger loss then it may look I reckon. Is one of only a few that we have that has geniune speed around the ball.
Surely Kennedy against his own mob should have been given a go ahead of O’Brien.

Agree....maybe the brains trust think we cant win and LOB needs the development vs Kelly and crew.
I would have picked Kennedy as I think he would be value and know the opposition better but he seems on the outer at the moment....

I just don’t get why he gets to develop in the firsts while Kennedy keeps running out in the vfl to work on his game. (Or this week - not play at all)

I'm pretty shocked he hasn't cracked it for a game yet. He has been dominating some games in the VFL, has a bigger body and has been on the fringes for a while. Some have leapfrogged him going in and out of the side. It seems he is the 23rd best player on our list, and 22nd and 24th seem to swap positions every week. Not sure what else he needs to do.
re Intel vs GWS, that works both ways though. Maybe GWS know his weakness and can take him out of the game relatively easy. Who knows.
As for LOB <-> Cunners swap. Its as much about speed as anything else i suspect. LOB is pretty quick. We just don't get to see it enough.

At least my eyesight is still working
I reckon we are worried more about their outside run given our size. I will watch him closely.

Maybe Kennedy called BB and SOS a c@nt behind closed doors and they have long memories. Stranger things have happened to keep players from getting a game. ????

I am all for the direction of the club but the selection of LOB has me totally baffled, he has done SFA.

Maybe it ‘the need for speed’. O’Brien has it, Kennedy doesn’t. But then you need to get the pill!!
