I’ve changed it 🙂

Another 4 points in the bag with NO injuries please.

My only problem with pigeonholing Kemp as a defender is that unless we try another option for him we'll never know.
I just think he's too good a player not to be playing senior football.

Got to give the lad a go, ready made player, very classy, too good for VFL.

Or maybe its just horses for courses and Kemp has no obvious match up so we've gone a bit taller with another interceptor with more experience.

Kemp was used as a key forward and key defender but was unable to win a place in the firsts in either of those roles.  In his own words:

"I was, and still am, open to my strengths of being able to play multiple positions.

Vossy and I, we sat down last year and pieced together what we wanted to go after. We always wanted to keep the prospect of me being able to play multiple positions or play forward up our sleeve, but we just all agreed that we wanted to go after one role and being really clear on that.

I still like the idea of being able to play multiple positions, depending on what happens in a game or if there are areas I need to fill. But the continuity of just locking in one role and really going after that, it was good for me. It just gave me that clarity that I needed, in terms of what I wanted to go after."

The club could change his focus to key forward with the ability to go back but I suspect that his attributes lend themselves more to playing in defence.

Noticed him playing a bit forward today.
Kicked 1-1
