Wow, Kennedy is getting less and less minutes every week. Even Meredith and Jetta received more game time this week! On one hand it makes his clearances stats look super-duper impressive (currently top at the Swans) but then on the other it makes you wonder why he's being limited? Is it fitness? Surely he could spend some time up forward, I think his bigger size than your average midfielder could make him very effective up there.

Kennedy's clearance work is incredibly impressive. Not only is he racking up big clearance stats on small TOG, he's also spending a large chunk of time on the HFF. Maybe it's fitness that is holding him back, maybe it's just that his height and marking ability make him useful on the flank, but put him in the centre full time and I can't see us losing a clearance count for a fair while. He's a limited player, in that his disposal isn't fantastic (though I reckon it's better than some give him credit for) and he's definitely on the slow side, but put him, Bird and Tom Mitchell around the stoppages with the likes of Jetta, Rohan and Sumner feeding off them, and Jack and McVeigh rotating through, and that's a very well balanced midfield.
It was interesting to see Pyke start in the forward line for the beginning of each half. The stats show that the coaches are starting to use Mumford and Pyke more in the forward line when they are resting. Perhaps last week was a special case because they felt that Hawthorn's defence is a weak area of their team.
Young Dan, ahd a slow start ot the game.
