Not sure if I've created a new topic before so forgive me if this bloke's been covered. But I do like the look of Brodie Kemp, given we will probably be bumped down one.

He did his knee in July? but at 192 cm and with acceleration in the contest, he appeals. In a perfect world we'd split our pick and get another inside the first round (doubt it). It's whether the club can be patient, knowing that he wouldn't make his debut until the 2020 Prelim.

And besides, I can't get my head around a Caleb Serong at 178cm as a pick three.

Wonder if anyone else here has him as high as me?

    I think if not for his injury he'd probably be a top 6 pick, and with that in mind i think we should seriously consider him if we do decide to split the pick

    I rate him. Would’ve been taken at 3-5 before injury. According to recruiters he hasn’t slid much due to injury, likely coming around 8-10 now. If we split our pick and got picks in the teens back, he’ll likely be gone already.

    I doubt he’ll be available if we split it, but I still think splitting it is the right idea.

    I think he's in the top 3-4 players in this draft.  I'd take him and be patient.  If not him, then Young.

    I think the same Swooper.

    I definitely had Kemp only behind Anderson and Rowell.

    I will not be disappointed and we keep pick 3 and choose Kemp.  Reminded me of Dangerfield.  

    Though have to consider him missing most of 2020. Could we wait. Yes.  He is not good.  

    He is very very good.

    I think given the profile of our list we are probably in a good position to wait as well, teams like the Suns are probably relying a little bit more on draftees to make a big impact quickly

    Definite yes at pick 3 in my opinion.

    If we don't get Anderson I hope we pick Kemp with one of our picks happy 2 wait for him to recover & develop.

    Mister Taylor is really going to earn his bickies this year. If we can nail an elite mid to compliment Oliver and Harmes in there, it could set us up for the next 5-6 years.

    Agree that when pick1 & 2 go to GC, Kemp needs to be considered with the likes of Young and Ash for pick 3, unless we trade it for Ben King ? (this is not a draft to be splitting the pick when it's so shallow)

    Kemp seems to hit the contest in a similar way to Martin or Oliver. He accelerates into the stoppage, rather than being flat footed. Seems like a natural ball winner for that reason and unlike Oliver, appears to be able to play more time forward, followed by bursts in the midfield. This will suit him coming into the AFL system.

    It's early, but could have a similar trajectory to Martin. I can see the Bontempelli comparisons too, but will be interesting to see if we're seriously looking at this kid.

    JT will have to be seriously considering calling him name out at pick 3 (or even pick 6 if the giants deal happens)

    Inside competitive midfield beast. Goodwin will definitely be frothing at this guy.

    Early picks best available unless it's a line ball. We don't need the next Luke Nolan.

    Would you get him with 6? If he is what we want and he is there at 6 then you would still do a deal with GWS for 6, 2020 first and maybe something else. Maybe they could delist a player for us to take.

    I would have been open for Kemp if we had traded out Viney or Brayshaw.

    I'd take him with 8 and best available at 3. I'd also be getting Wrecker, Flash and Nev into Jack Martin's ear for pick 2 PSD.

    Bid for Green at number 3 and if we get him then you wouldn't take Kemp but go for a smaller ball user

    I'm not keen on GWS 's future 2nd rounder next year. Not doing them any favours

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
