Not sure I get the love for Kennedy to win the Coleman.

Not the forward he used to be, and another year on the ageing clock along with a forward line that looks more potent than it has done for a while, I reckon he will struggle for the number of goals needed to win it.

He’s a gun, body holding up is the question
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He was a gun, but haven't seen him at that level for a good 18 months.

Yep, injuries have no doubt affected him.

I have always been a massive fan of twinkle toes Kennedy. I also love that for every goal he kicks Carlton fans can think to themselves if only.....
