The Kemp argument is probably a bit futile because it all depends on what happens with other players...and what the side looks like in five years time.
What I'm pretty confident of is that Kemp has shown enough to indicate he'll be a big part of that.

All I'm saying is don't close our minds and pigeonhole him.
Robbie Walls would still be playing back pocket if we thought like that ;)  :D

It's a little ironic and sad that a guy who had an impact on turning our season around can't stay on the field
DLWWWW...that's Jack's season.

The cynic in me suggests this is the best way to be 'disrespectful' to the opposition without being blatantly 'disrespectful'

Jack Martin has managed 141 games over his career, so whilst not a write off in any way, it's certainly a career of unrealised potential. He indisputably makes us a better team, and I've heard Voss refer to him as tough with a glint in his eye on 2 occasions. There can't be many higher compliments in football than that IMO.

That would be twice in a season😮‍💨
Surely not the predicably unpredictable performers. We need the very opposite to happen. Continue to build and consolidate.

Go Blues.

I think I'd prefer Fisher to Honey. What I've seen of Honey in the 2's hasn't filled me with hope he's able to play a role at this level.

Dont need Martin to beat WC......you take on players like McGovern, Martin, Williams etc you just have to hope they are fit at the business end of the season and can stand up for the big games and finals. Reality is they miss a third of every season,

Walls was recruited as a CHF.  He and Rod Macfarlane (who kicked 100 goals for Coburg ammos and was briefly on Essendon’s list) terrorised our backline when we played Coburg High. 

Walls kicked a goal with his first kick but, as a skinny 16 year old, would have been hammered by the gorillas most teams employed as CHBs.  A brief sojourn down back was good for his self-preservation but his destiny as a CHF was pre-ordained 🙂

Honey has the chance of a new contract (personally i wouldn't give it to him) but Fishers papers appeared to be stamped, but i agree.

His 'brief sojurn' lasted more than a season ;)  :D ....And maybe that's what's happening with Kemp
We'll see what his role is this time next year.
Interestingly it looks like Kemp has put on about 7kg since he was drafted.

This is an old article and maybe Brodie and the club's position has changed.

Kemp has spent portions of his underage career in every position on the ground, which is what saw Carlton draft the talented youngster with pick No.17.

Of course, Kemp was touted as one of the most talented youngsters in the draft pool prior to a knee injury he sustained.

One of those reasons was his showing against South Australia as an inside midfielder, where he would ultimately kick the match-winning goal.
It’s in that position where Kemp hopes to strut his stuff for years to come.

“I’d probably say the midfield, based on my top-age and bottom-age years,” he said.


“I started to working into playing midfield and that helped me grow my ability in terms of footy.

“If I can keep working really hard and try to model my game on the best players and picking ‘Crippa’s’ brain, that’ll definitely help me.”
