Thread: Swans team vs Brisbane (OFFICIAL teams named)

  1. #37
    I think this is a good week to be playing Brisbane when Jonathan Brown isn't 100%
    He was clearly suffering last week against Melbourne.

    Agreed - Josh Kennedy has been great for us so far this year. Some of the inside work he does is outstanding - its not flashy and not always easy to notice, but he has a pretty decent knack for extracting the hard ball out of a pack and getting it on to someone else. He may not be the messiah but he's developing very nicely thank you.

    Good to see Ted back - I hope he does well....

    I have seen Jude Bolton, Kirk and McVeigh do some incredible hard ball gets in a pack and deliver accurately.Goodes too. If that is Josh's job too I guess it has passed me by.I saw him get it a few times and get it going in the general direction but have also seen miskicks and turnovers.Maybe you need to be at the games and not watch them on TV to appreciate what he does. His goals that I saw were often being at the end of a loose man chain,handy, but hardly spectacular in a dominating team. Lets see him kick a few against Geelong and Collingwood and I will be impressed.Still believe he is lucky to be in the team.

    You've never seen Jude or Kirk turn the ball over off the boot either? Or counted how many direct goal assists Kennedy has contributed this year?

    It's a big call but I have been watching Kennedy and thinking that he's getting set to take on Kirk's role. He's in the middle of it a lot and mainly gets it done - wait till he gets a bit more confidence.

    You must be blind.

    Josh has been fantastic this year thus far, he is averaging near on 20 possessions a game at 74% efficiency.

    His work in tight has been a pleasure to watch.

    According to the Record I had on the weekend, Kennedy was 2nd for I50s for the Swans. Getting better each week - more than convinced he's a good pick up for us.

    But in Hartijon's defence, Kennedy seems to be less noticeable on the field as the others.
    I often seem to notice him a few times, and then I see his stats and wonder were I was looking.

    He's also 3rd in tackles. behind guess who ... 31 and 24.
