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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
