I prefer specialist KP forwards rather than manufactured ones...we need to recruit a young KP who is a good kick at U18 level and doesn't need remedial work.
Brendon Fevola comes to mind...we don't have that player like a Fevola, Gunston, Elliott, Robbie Gray who can kick that set shot match winner in the final seconds under pressure.

Agreed, a Gunston would be gold. Not Norman though.

And another thread bites the dust. ::)  ::)

It's a fruitless argument that is dominating many threads.
The same things are being written time after time.
Yet I doubt one mind has been changed.

And in twelve months from now the whole thing will just be another sad chapter in our 21st century history.
We'll have no doubt moved on next year to a new crisis or new beginnings.
People have had their say, it's on the record.
It'll still be here as long as the site exists in it's present form.
But I doubt anyone will look back more than a few pages on any thread they engage with.

At the very least, can posters please try and confine the Voss/Fraser discussion to the relevant coach thread.

I wouldn't be dropping Kemp unless you have someone banging the door down in the VFL.

He is doing a lot right and has been pretty good.   Just needs to finish his work.    Could watch a bit of Gunstan's work.    Doesn't waste it and can draw an odd free kick.

Score Assists:   1.118 (4th)
Score Impact:   13.588 (1st)
Goals:   24 (2nd)
Marks:   5:118 (Behind McKay only as a forward)
MarksInside50:  2.176 (1st)

And consider he has only been a forward for a short period of time.

Kemp is a good kick for goal generally.
He had a terrible patch earlier this year but that's not the norm.

Even with that terrible patch, he's better than McKay who has won a Coleman.

Make him the 3rd tall.
Get mids who can kick
Kemp is no longer a 'problem'

Inclined to agree. . Kemp is one Carlton forward prepared to lead for the ball. Just needs to keep working on his kicking for goal.
