Data data data. Ridiculous. Kemp missed last half of 2019. Ā Pick 21. Kyle Langford comparison is a joke.Ā 
Ā 

I donā€™t think this article is based on watching games.Ā 
Ā 

Kemp is top 5. Ā He slides due the ACL injury which rules him out for 2020. But his physical size and pace alongside versatility and kicking make him very very likely to go top 10. He looked ā€œDangerfield likeā€ in some stoppages with a burst of pace.Ā 
Ā 

Dees would be mad to miss him at 8 or 10 (if we trade 8 for 10 &22 from Freo)

    Worrying about an 18 year old kid not playing in his first season is pointless. He shouldn't be playing seniors in his first season anyway. A year of rehab means he will be better prepared physically when he does debut.

    But....but...how can he possibly be the club saviour if he does not play for 12 months...???

    Another saviour hasn't shown his face now for over 2000 years, 12 months is nothing SL ?

    I saw him live. I saw his highlights. Forget the ACL.Ā 

    This kid has the ability for a future superstar. Dees might not punt in him at 3 but would definitely HAVE TO GRAB KEMP AT PICK 8 IF AVAILABLE!! Speed. Strength. Goal kicking. Dangerfield like at times.Ā

    Exactly. That is why gave away so much including our First pick in 2020 to get Brodie Kemp. I'm more confident now we will not split number 8 pick. Brodie Kemp potentially could've been a top 5 pick if he didn't get injured. His highlights package was awesome to watch.Ā

    I don't think we split just to potentially target Kemp. We have a range of players that we are looking at pick 8, which Kemp is part of that list.

    As Jason Taylor said, you can't trade into a first a first round just to focus on that one particular player because at the end of the day they might not even be there at that pick.

    Swans are really looking hard at Kemp with pick 5 potentially if they bid on Green and GWS match the bid.

    Write up on Kemp on the Official AFL websiteĀ today has linked himĀ to Carlton, Hawthorn and Melbourne.

    The short-term pessimist long-term optimist part of me that thinks taking Kemp and accepting his year out actually kind of works out in a twisted way.

    We've got quite a list management puzzle at the moment particularly dealing with a LOT of players who are hovering on the fringe or who need to find a way back from injury.Ā  And there's a serious concentration of that status at similar height and potential roles to Kemp; Hannan, Hunt, Vandenberg, J Wagner, Kolodjasnij, Hibberd and Smith.

    That's seven names Kemp could replace their role and would anticipate surpassing pretty quickly. And any (Maybe even most. Maybe even all!) of them might be gone at end of 2020.Ā  But for now, we've got them all to sort through and see what we can make of them. To unclog a list you actually need to get the lumps flowing.

    We've traded out of the pointy end of the 2020 draft but it is likely we will have major list turnover then as well. Is it conceivable that Kemp is basically our '2020 No.1' selection?

    I like this idea, mate. Mostly because I think Kemp could be a star and if he's the second player we pick, the risk is lessened.

    What are you basing this on? You have knowledge from someone or just from reading one of the draft writers pieces?

    Every chance the blues grab him at 9 you'd think

    Agree. Heā€™s got real talent. Some of Kempā€™s burst of pace out of packs at the championship was very ā€œDangerfield likeā€. If we still have pick 10, he would be the definite choice.Ā

    Where do you play himĀ NS?Ā  Forward?Ā  Played quite well when forward in some of the latter Nat matches.Ā  Proved to be a solid to impressive competitor in the air.Ā  A very decent set shot action which should hold him in good stead as a medium mobile tall prospect.

    Good by hand in theĀ middle, at times, but not necessarily elite here.Ā  Does show elite glimpses (by hand) though.Ā  By foot and movement away from stoppages?Ā  Lots of work ahead imoĀ and a WIP if he is to become a decentĀ to top liner in the mid.Ā  Might take a bit longer than some to find his feet in this sort of role given his height and possibly a poor tank at this point vs others he was competing against.Ā  Ability to win the ground ball at a very good to elite level as a mid?Ā  Again a WIP imv vs some of the better mids in the Nats.Ā  Good to vg work at timesĀ when receiving from others around stoppages on the exits but again, disposal by foot (on the run) needs a fair amount of work.

    Kemp has 12 months recovery through to June 2020 from ACL. Ā He will do a lot of gym work and build up his upper body.
    Ā 

    Where does he play? Ā  At the start, Ā probably half back. Ā Within 2 years he can play ruck rover and be very damaging alongside Viney and Oliver and Petracca. He may also play as anĀ attacking CHB/half back like BrendonĀ Goddard.Ā

    Kemp can move. He has real pace and strength. If we hold 10, I hope heā€™s available. I think Blues will grab him unfortunately.Ā

    Pumping up his tyres a lot you are. Are you his favourite uncle @spirit of norm smith?

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark.Ā The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss.Ā The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the leagueā€™s present set up.Ā

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus Oā€™Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, thereā€™s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbellā€™s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
