Free Agency Jack Carroll - signs with St Kilda

Im actually surprised both Kennedy & Carroll have been let go
I would have thought 1 of the 2 would have been kept (Carroll)

Agree. I feel it could backfire very quickly. Hopefully I’m wrong and Hewett / Cerra can hold their bodies together.

Realistically Carroll was either the sub or was subbed out in pretty much every game that he played last year and was mainly played due to injuries to Cerra or Walsh.

Our midfield basically loses Kennedy and back up in Carroll to be replaced by Cooper Lord (who looked the goods in limited starts) pick 3 and Ben Camporeale with Sam Docherty to primarily to play wing/mid after missing all of this year.

If Cerra and Walsh are injury free we are clearly better off and it allows us to refresh a midfield that either dominated or was dominated last year. The bigger mistake would have been to assume that our midfield that couldn't get the job done this year would somehow be able to next year .

…you’re welcome.

May he look as good with a football in hand, as he does in November.

He looks pretty good a training

Has a great side step with sharp skills to match

He's an AFL footballer, he should look great at training.

That 'good look' didn't translate on-field at Carlton to any great effect. Time will tell whether it does at St Kilda, but given what I've seen over 4 years I am skeptical.
