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.

All our forwards need to sharpen up their goal kicking - Byrne and Ison have sprayed important kicks and Harry's goal kicking issues are an established fact.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

And missing a relatively easy kick for goal can sap team confidence, particularly when players have worked hard to create the opportunity.

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.
Reality always wins in the end.

Kemp was named full forward in the 2019 Under 18 All Australian team.  You could say that we're finally playing him in his best position.

I know he was named at FF in that team but his rookie profile on AFL.com has him as a utility playing as a defender who was destined to play as a midfielder.
Thats not my idea of a specialist FF who has spent their career playing forward only....
