We need to look at what is going on inside our club. Our draftees have shown talent individually. Why isn't it being developed. Rhys Palmer might've been onto something with that tweet. You'd think he'd have an idea.

Kennedy I've liked the last few weeks. Can't help injuries and fitness. It's done the job of helping out Cripps alot and letting him float forward rather than getting clobbered all day.

Kennedy looks like a workhorse to me, a bit of a plodder with no real class but he has a dip and keeps at it.
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.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

There are some teflon types around our club that seem to survive year after year while not making the grade, not just the players by the way!
Who do you refer to?

Agree on Kennedy, blue collar worker but you have to be careful who you play him on and if to make him a offensive or defensive player....
Also agree on the 3rd/4th rounder or VFL rookie type value.......
Lang was pushed out of Geelong by their midfield riches/salary cap but was never really trialled as a mid much.......you look at Tim Kelly who they brought from the WAFL and you think
wow how good was that drafting but would he be any better than Lang in our team?..probably not.
We recruit supporting actors and then try and turn them into lead actors...doesnt work.

Didnt know Tom could play, coach and list manage?

Although Richmond did improve when they had that ill fated challenge.....
