Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 20 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast at Marvel
Last post by kruddler -Kemp is a good utility player being asked to perform a role he has performed for approximately less than 15 games at AFL level and is currently doing a pretty good job of it, with some warts on his game.
Give him some time to sort those out. He is a reliable enough kick, its possibly the first time in his career he has a monkey on his back. The fans jumping on him for lack of finishing wont help him, there is no reason he cant be our Jack Gunston.
Agreed.
Plenty of time for him to turn things around.
That doesn't mean he needs to play 1's every week until he does.
This kind of form is exactly why you drop players to the 2's to regain some confidence.
Problem is, we don't have anyone to bring in. Closest you could argue is Ison, and we already dropped him for similar reasons.
Kemp is a good player to have in your 23. Traditional utility player.
We just can't plan for him to be our FF for the next 7 years.
