Brodie Kemp (drafted by Carlton)

[Return to Glory 8,518]

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?

 

[Ted Lasso 19,583]

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 

[Lord Travis 10,816]

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.

[Mach5 4,768]

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

[John Demonic 5,987]

Splitting the pick and getting nobody we wanted. The darkest timeline

[Swooper1987 3,322]

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

[RalphiusMaximus 6,111]

Speed, marking and goal-kicking.  We need all of these things.  His size is an added bonus.  I'd love him in the side. 

[Clintosaurus 7,938]

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.

[deebug 1,754]

Yes from me?

[Pennant St Dee 13,426]

I like this kid, think the upside is enormous 

[Adam The God 30,677]

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.

[Demon Disciple 12,525]

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)

[Adam The God 30,677]

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)

[olisik 4,060]

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.

[olisik 4,060]

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

[RalphiusMaximus 6,111]

Still want this guy.  We can go for the little pacey guy at three and hope he's still standing (or not given his knee) at eight.

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
