Thought he tried at least unlike one Melb player in Fritsch, talk about lazy, if it wasnt delivered silver service style then he couldnt be bothered chasing or even competing and Goodwin dragged him several times and it was only in the last quarter I saw him making any effort after Petracca had done the hard work.
I thought we had players who were beaten on the night but at least tried, reckon Melb had a few who couldnt be bothered at all or sooked all night ie Gawn.
Vossy said that Kennedy probably did too good a job on Petracca!
It's interesting how the run with player's role normally changes when their opponent is shifted. I suspect that Kennedy would have continued to get the job done if he had stayed with Petracca. He has played as a defender recently and knows the structures and patterns. We would have been a midfielder down, but Melbourne was and we have plenty others to rotate through the midfield.
