So by that logic everything is awesome because we made a prelim
It goes both ways tbh.There’s a fair rewrite of history going on here.
Was comprehensively beaten in the finals, delivery to him was poor - as was the ball movement into the forward line.
Who would have thunk that slow build up and transition would effect Charlie’s ability to impact
Found the article, it was Daniel Hoyne - supports what Harry and I have been saying.
Kemp could easily be our Cam Raynor, a powerful forward/drifting into the midfield.
I'd actually flip that on it's head and say that he could be a powerful mid with that burst of speed, who can drift up forward. We've seen how strong he is overhead, so could be a nightmare match up for the opposition when he drifts forward - much like Crippa, but better overhead.
IMO It depends on how we opt to structure the side.
No, I didn't say that .I ŵas intimating that we don't need to fix much, as we made a prelim een with the issue you raised.So by that logic everything is awesome because we made a prelim
There’s a number of factors that make up whole - personally I believe that the stagnant ball movement was a major contributor to a number of issues.
We are allowed to assess what we can improve on - the narrative of just looking at how deep we went doesn’t help to improve us.
We have actively added more pace & creative attack to the list.
I think this is the heart of it for me. At the end of 2022, we seemed to have a shortage of outside run, and we got Acres and O.Hollands, both of whom made a difference.
Did the filfth make the 8? No idea what happened to other clubs, let alone them.
Bit of a big head who's shown a little bit (not too much) who could be o.k. but also could be a bust. Fair chance that he wants to get back to Adelaide at some stage.
Kemp definitely quality. No chance he is a bust.
I thought that his body of work during the season would have been enough to keep him in the side so I thought he was unfortunate to miss the preliminary final. Was a very promising junior career struck down by injury and undoubtedly has talent. Feel like he could be redeployed elsewhere in our team to better effect. As someone suggested earlier, maybe he should be the understudy for Crippa with a view to assuming the main gig in time. Has all the attributes. I'd like to see him in a forward role as well. While the selectors seem infatuated with Marchy, I'm not sure where Kempy fits in down back if Weiters and McG are good to go. So maybe a positional change is on the cards.
Doesn’t make sense what your saying , before the Gold Coast game when we started our tear curnow had already kicked 40 goals that’s half for the year … ball delivery after I assume you contribute to the new style doesn’t equate to all his goals .. I’m a realist 1st finals on decent defenders . They played better that’s it .. he wasn’t tired which was my point and we love to make an excuse … I assume yours is Dow didn’t play new style etcThere’s a fair rewrite of history going on here.

Charlie kicked 15 over 2 of those games (WC & North) & another 10 when we played WC again.
It was injuries in 2022, banged up and cooked in '23...the best 2 performing teams played off in this years Granny, and they deserved it.
