I do like the Kennedy pick up. We need more tough hombres!

Re: Bulldog ONLY Trade News
It seems like the pick slide with the Cats must have involved the pick used for Kennedy

Power does his assessments and doesn't fold easily.
Can only think we REALLY wanted Jack's salary off the books.

Power folds to Geel
Power folds to saints
Winners with Daniel coz NM are desperate
Kennedy is terrible (and pick 38 where Carlton said go look elsewhere)
Miss O?halloran
For mine that?s a 4/10 trade week
I will never see #16 the same!!

How has Power folded on Macrae? He's under contract. We could've kept him if we really wanted. Power obviously weighed up the salary vs the pick and decided the salary was more important.

Totally agree. Cap space will be crucial.

It is devastating losing the likes of Daniel and Macrae but given they were now fringe I think it ends up better for us in the long term. Smith is a big loss but wanted out so not much you can do. Not sure on the final make up of picks (17 & 25 & 47).
Happy that we got Kennedy. Nothing special but a hard bodied midfielder who has decent disposal is ok. Hoping we would get XOH but alas can get him next year.

That's pretty bad on the Smith front. It's basically just pick 17. That's really poor. How did we not keep 45?

Yeah we held out and went from 48 to 45, so the Cats could get it with Smith...

We upgraded it (Geelong) and ontraded it for Kennedy.

Re: Bulldog ONLY Trade News
Macrae is 30. Kennedy is 27. We can?t have all our prime mids 30+. Kennedy on less coin.
You can?t hold on to player for sentimental reasons when they are not even in your best 22.

Should have taken the pick instead. He'll be on the scrap heap soon enough like Harmes and for 3 years. Great!
