You believe in Homeopathy dont you.

 

Sorry thread. I will give it a rest.

I want Kemp at 8. Long term i believe he is worth the risk.

    brodie sounds such a collingwood name

    Broderick. Broderegar. Brodiegenhaarn. Brodear. Brodocea.

    I'm sure we'll find a solution for Mr Kempington's unfortunate condition.

    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.

     

     

     

    What an incredibly banal hill you’ve chosen to die on. 

    Anyway, you’ve demonstrated that recruiters wouldn’t even need to ask you one of these questions to put a line through you. Irrespective of talent you’ve shown a tendency to throw the toys out the cot at the mere prospect a minor inconvenience. Bravo.

    Wow, way to derail a thread.

    Give it a rest, or go to the General board

    What are the odds he makes it to pick 8? He would be a steal there

    Going by most reports, he's close to a certainly to be there at 8.

    He's ours to lose.

    He's a very good chance to still be there at our pick 8.

    Is there anything wrong with a sociopath or psychopath on the playing list? If they play their role on & off.

    You’d be trying to identify those who crumble or throw their toys out of the cot at the minutiae.

    They would probably be pretty harmful off field.  Prone to playing idiotic power games and manipulating people for personal gain.

    All of this nonsense for a fluffy ball?

    Come on guys.........

     

    The highlights vid of Kemp looks sensational. I'd be smiling if we got him at 8, although we all need to remember how Norf supporters carry on whenever draft time comes about. They "won the draft" year after year.

    There are still as many misses as hits in the top 10.  Would be nice to finally get some stars on the list.

    Yes - there’s a bit of a shock at No. 2 but not much of a shock for those who have been following this draft for longer than the last month. Tom Green is very, very, good.

    But the real shock might come for those of you who are fixated on us picking Brodie Kemp at No. 8 - have a look at where he’s rated here.

    Plays like Kyle Langford? Guess the Hun needed to get one of their precious Bombers in there.

    They could have at least tried to make it a good one.

    Still rated at 21 after missing half a season.  Champion data rankings are stats based.  Kemp will be a gun and had he not done his knee he'd be in top 5 or 6 calculations.

    If we bid on Henry wouldn't  we effectively be picking him at 7?

    I spent some time this morning relaxing in front of the tapes.  Because what else do you do when you've got all the pastries already in front of you?

    Even moer than both of these guys being decent marks, far from soft, long icks and having good vision and awareness - they both have initiative.  Neither of them need to stop and think or need to run backwards from the mark a bit to change their brain into gear before they look around.  I especially liked the times, for both of them, when a mark slipped or something else didn't quite connect and theere was not even time for an 'oh bugger' before they were back into it based on the new situation. Several times there was an instant recovery (i.e. dropped mark followed by getting the contested ball) or they influenced the play to limit the damage.

    Give us 22 footballers with that mindset thanks, Mr Taylor.

    Swooper got in before me. Champion data is based on... data.  It is kind of impressive that Kemp is anywhere on the data radar.

    Surely it’s based on data averages, not aggregate.

    Not sure why Kemp gets so much love. Good size, but I think a few too many have been sucked in by the Dangerfield comparisons. He’s not the first utility to come along at 192cm.

    I don't think Dangerfield is a good comparison. He doesn't have the explosive movement that is Dangerfield's biggest weapon. He does have a lot of power though, and knows how to use his size and strength to break through tacklers. He is also a good mark and kick and executes under pressure. I see a lot of upside there.

    Interesting that Cooper Stephens, who played 2 games before breaking his leg and missing the rest of the year, is ranked at 16.

    It is indeed, but Cooper Stephens would never be in top 10 consideration. Be interested to see champion data rankings for Alex Rance at the moment.  They provoke discussion but I wonder as to how relevant they actually are. My view from watching games (not stats) hasn't changed.  Young and Kemp will both be very good to excellent AFL players.I hope we take them both.

    I have no idea how they arrive at their rankings but i wonder if the data is a tad weighted towards factors that tend to result in inside mids accumulating somewhat more favourable outcomes vs someone who doesn't play alot of time at stoppages.

    I can't speak for Stephens as i can't recall seeing much of him in the Nats (inj?) but Kemp spent minimal time as an on baller, mostly playing up forward.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
