Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

[Mofra]

Late deal for pick for 38.
Carlton fans gutted, they really like him.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

He's a big tough player, works hard and likes to tackle. The type of clubman that you want at the club because everyone walks taller when he's there.

Happy enough with this. Welcome to the club.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

I'm okay with this. He's got some traits that will fit in nicely for us and is versatile enough.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

I like Kennedy, good pick up for us.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

This sucks. We suck. I’d say at least when he’s bad we will learn our lesson and stop trading for players like this but who am I kidding that is all we do.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

Carlton supporters I know rate him. I think it was required with Caleb and Macrae going, we need midfield depth.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

Why wouldn't other clubs or even saints for that matter want him? We're fairly flush for mids so would think he'd have had other suitors?

I'm on board

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

Will improve our side. Paid slightly more than I’d have liked to for a player they didn’t want but eh, sometimes you just get the deal done right (I’ll keep telling myself that!).

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

We lose midfield depth so to being in Kennedy is good for us.

Likely to be over Pick 40 I’d imagine after bids/shuffling. What’s a top 10 B&F finisher in a finals team who played all year worth who was under contract?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

Looking at a clip of highlights from this year, his tackles don't get broken often. That tackling intent is a big bonus for us, hopefully we rotate through the middle a little more aggressively like we did back in 2021.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

I don?t mind the inclusion of Kennedy. Hopefully he can go
some way in filling the void left after Dunkley?s exit, with both having similar attributes. If it works as I hope, it will be Cripps loss, and Bont?s gain.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Matt Kennedy

Nice highlights. Someone here called him ‘Aldi Dunkley’.

Without the insult some might infer, it’s pretty close. He’s a not quite as good Dunkley. Defensive when he needs to be, tackles well, team player, can go forward and kick goals. We’ve done worse. Much worse.
