AFL Rd 5 2022 Post Game Carlton vs Port Adelaide

He was good, because his work inside F50 meant players like Butters, Burton and Boak could hang back and not push so deep, it leaves them with run in their legs when they know they have someone deep at either end to do the heavy lifting, and Rozee was icing.

Kennedy was playing the SPP type role for us in the first couple of rounds, but has gone off the boil a bit, is that because we've asked him to tag?

Of course in AFL you can only do that if you have team-mates prepared to sacrifice, because AFL opposition will always try to make you accountable. But if everyone starts expecting someone else to sacrifice for them things will go sour pretty quickly.

Fair points on Kennedy, he was dominating in early games and racking up big numbers and then was switched to tagging roles which I found strange. I think he works better as an offensive player and Hewett is the one who does the tagging as he seems able to work both ways picking up a man and getting the ball himself which not many can do to the level he can.
