From a seventeen year old future football star I'd be happy if they could grunt the words 'I like football and girls'. The rest we can work on over the years.

How about, 'I like swimming pools and [censored]'?

    Yeah, I think he was a bit older than that when he said that.

    You’re still not paying attention. It’s about engaging the left side of the brain and getting more honest answers to the subsequent questions. The weird questions themselves and their answers are irrelevant. What’s the harm?

    So you agree the question and answers are irrelevant.

    You got there in the end.

    I and many others thought @Mach5's comments reasonable and probably the most accurate assessment of the question. That's all.

    Obviously there’s no guarantees but Kemp has all the tools to become a Bontempelli/Fyfe type of player and the only reason he won’t be a top 5 pick is due to his knee injury. I’ve watched several of the U18 matches in their entirety and I can see the Bont/Fyfe resemblance.

    I just feel that if he is there at pick 8, we take the long term view and pick him. Hopefully the club feels the same.

    Brodie Kemp is the one player I saw in 2019 apart from Rowell and Anderson that I think can be a superstar.  Has the pace and strength and footy skills to be Dangerfield like.  His injury keeps him out for 2020 but his upside is he’d be ready to go round 1 2021.  Young might be the safe bet at 3 and I agree BUT if Kemp is available at 8, we simply could not afford to let him go

    From the story.......

    Kemp might’ve sat out on the draft combine due to his knee injury, but it didn’t stop Sydney asking the utility a puzzling question during the interview process.

    “(There was) a fake spider, big blue ball where you squeeze it, jelly, a puzzle and one of those slap bracelets,” he said.

     

    This sort of garbage would have me walking out of an interview. Psychobabble has invaded far too many areas of the AFL, and if it helped you identify a future champion i would be absolutely flabbergasted. 

    Only people who rate Mission Statements would believe a question like this could help identify a future champ. A 17-18 year old male has tons of mental development left, and his answer would change practically every year. Word wankery at its best.

    Cue the triggered Psychologists..........................

    That this would make you walk out of the interview is pretty revealing. It's worth including just for that.

    It "reveals" i have a very low tolerance for psychobabble. 

    That some think it is a good idea says how easily conned they are.

    But, you know, knock yourself out.

    Interesting article with a great quote from Adam Cerra   "

    “I got asked whether the fact I want to buy a house in a few years meant I was financially driven to play football,” Cerra said.

    “I think they were just trying to make a hard question out of nothing."

    I love the passive aggressive and condescending pet-name calling when ppl get in a tiff. 

    It's amazing.

    Maybe. You're going to walk out of an interview with Kinnear Beatson, Simon Dalrymple and John Longmire because you know better.

    Yep.

    Ofc if you asked me when i was 17 and wet behind the ears the answer would probably be different. 

    If anyone can show me some proof it assists in identifying a better footballer im all ears. Facts, not feelings. I reckon i will only hear crickets.

    So, highly paid professional coaching outfits roll out a question, that you feel as bogus, and it’s contingent on us to disprove your random claims..?

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
