Kennedy at 188 cm is not the man for lever

Be super interesting to see marchbank playing a role. All he has to do is bring it to ground to our advantage. Lever’s art is the same - to their advantage he’ll move it forward. Interestingly both similar sizes at 194 cm and both from the same draft. Time for you to shine Marchy

It's an interesting situation. We have Martin & McKay out but we know they are only out 1 week

We just need to find a forward mix that will work for 1 week, against one of the better defences in the league.

i'd take an underdone jack over kennedy. kennedy doesn't have any forward craft and isn't going to get separation leading etc ...seems weird voss said jack is fit and available, but underdone. yet he last played rnd 19, and kennedy last played rnd17.


i know ppl will say kennedy played the praccy match last week, but that's exactly that. a praccy match that went for 30 mins. it hardly made kennedy match ready?

Better off playing Gov forward than a mid

agree

with their defense i'd be using someone who can play forward.


between both the forwardlines and defences tomorrow night, the score might be 22-25 at full time.

So long as we are 25 that's absolutely fine.

Agree with that. Furthermore, that praccy match (if you could call it that), would have been nothing more than a game of touch footy.

Jack.... Kennedy....

nah, he's long "gone to God"

Marchbank has got too much working against him to be upended like that.

He’s come into the season with the axe dangling over his head and has got himself ‘right’ for half a dozen (?) games off limited training loads.

All things considered, he’s doing a top notch job where he is.

What’d that Filth advocate say the other night?… “the burden of expectation is on what’s reasonable, not what’s remarkable”… something like that.

Kennedy will be more underdone than JSOS and lacks the pace and athleticism to be effective up forward.
I'd put McGovern up forward as Weiters, Kemp and Marchbank should get the job done in defence. To be honest McGovern's form in defence hasn't been great the last few weeks.

There is no footy god

Jack won’t play as he has only just returned to full training
Kennedy has been training fully for a month and has also played scratch matches

We won’t change structure of defence or midfield. We are to much about structure and what works

Kennedy will likely coming in to replace Martin and Motlop for McKay and we will go smaller with TDK up forward with Charlie at times

Only other possible change will be Hollands for Fogarty or Cuningham to give some more run.

Kennedy might just be the opponent Lever would dislike.

He is physical - Lever is not and likes to play off his man to support May.
He is strong over the ball - Lever is not.
He can take a strong mark - Lever will be brave to zone off.
He just needs to bring the ball to ground if he can't mark - Lever likes to mark and rebound.
He can kick 55 so that will make Lever wary of letting him mark at or around 50.

If Kennedy does make the team, that hit up kick to around F45 to him, is just what we need. It will spread the defense and give Charlie room to roam.

Alternating Marchy/Kennedy and TDK to help out Charlie might just work as they are all different matchup's for the Demons. Kennedy onto the ball to give Crippa a spell, also keeps a bull in the heat of battle.

100% Agree. Other thing is with Kennedy Charlie they can cover a lot of ground and work May/Lever over

As I have said it's about how we use the ball inside 50 will determine how well we do

Agree with this Farmer and Cazz

This is critical. If we stand still and call for the ball to be kicked long May and Lever will set up and pick it off all day long. We need constant movement from our forwards. Charlie needs to get on his bike and take lever/May up the ground to create space for the smalls. If they let him go, he gets the ball at half forward and we have Charlie delivering inside 50

Kennedy rotating with Cripps forward but mainly Kennedy.

Forward pressure quite good, can mark and has a good long kick. Can play a more defensive forward role.

McGovern will be a quicker option if need be.

For me, with both sets of forward lines having so many question marks and if, buts and maybe's, think it might just come down to whoever kicks the straightest out of the 2, and butchers the fewest 50/50 shots at goal.

Daniel Gorringe has organised a Baggers March to the MCG tomorrow night.
Leaves from Federation Bells at 6.20 and due to arrive at the MCG at around 6.32.
I might go along for a bit of fun.
