A very consistent average of around 16 disposals. This is not on the low end for a small forward. He's not had a great year, but a decent one at least. With the too young team we've fielded most of the year, I can understand his continued inclusion. |

Signed on for another two years, so he is part of the future.
And as I say, we've been too young at times this year, going younger would not have helped. Not the team or the young players coming in. |
Has he Officially Re-Signed?
He said he is close to Re-Signing.
Well he should be in the Side for RD 1 2015 then |
I was talking about Blair. |
Oh Sorry - Then I do agree what you said

Has Ben Ken been played for a full game two matches in a row other than last week?
He was initially named as sub last week too, having shown something against the Eagles.
He clearly is not fit enough to run out 2 consecutive games in the view of the coaching staff.
I do not think it is anything more sinister than that.
He does not have a big enough tank, having had a bit of an interrupted pre-season post surgery on both of his calves.

Yes but according to you the selection committee never make errors. |

Wear your "YES MAN" badge with pride. Here's another thread where those that can't or won't stand side-by-side congregate. Some of you people need a good kick in the proverbials.

Better than blindly nodding your head and accepting yet another baffling selection shit sandwich.
I can't wait to hear more of the tripe about managing Kennedy's fitness when he's been playing every game since round one to justify his omission.
Even if he did have an interrupted pre-season after 21 rounds you'd think he might just have developed some match fitness to play even as a sub (where he normally sits on his arse for 3/4's of the game anyway) don't you think? |

Kennedy omitted!!
Mind boggling. Even more so with all the enforced outs.
If he's doing something wrong, such as setting up at stoppages incorrectly or something, let him bloody learn in the 1's with the best around to guide him. He's shown enough in other areas of his game to deserve to fix whatever it is he's doing wrong, in the seniors.
If it's anything to do with fitness, as pointed out already - it's round 22 and he's played at either level most weeks. Surely can't be a factor.

I'm gobsmacked that even after your tremendous post this week, these posters still post such crap. They either cant read or comprehend or both..... 
I guess Richmond fans is what they all want to be. If I read another post on Nick's criticising the behaviour of Richmond fans towards their own club and players, I'll fair dinkum puke.  We have definitely surpassed them this season as the worst at eating our own. These posters must be the younger generation of those terrible dickheads who used to be in front of the Members Stand at Victoria Park on game days constantly having a go at our plays all bloody day....  |

| I did read on another forum that he needed one more game of VFL to qualify to play VFL finals. That would make sense why is is playing there. |
