He was pretty useful for a fair bit of that time, obviously not his last season or so at Adelaide

Maric & Giles clear top two for me. Maric would have to be in the top 4 ruckman this year at this stage.

Kennedy third, gone from a solid mid to Brownlow favourite is a fair jump.

Selwood & Danger next in line
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Kennedy was more than a solid midfielder last year.

Jay Schultz has improved a fair bit from his Richmond days, probably added some consistency to his game.

Jett's more improved than Kennedy IMO.

HOORAY. We agree on something.



also, off the top of my head, Kennedy led the league in contested possesions last season?

K Hunt gets a guernsey in this context as he has come of a very low base - much improved but a long way to go..
Maric always had potential under a coach who would use him differently.
