If you listen to Tom Morris. Macrae deal doesn't sound like it's going to happen. He says it's a myth Bulldogs want to dump his salary and are happy to keep him. Unless we offer something they can't refuse (which we wont) it probably wont happen
Dogs are heavily trying to push the narrative they are happy to pay 800k for him to play VFL

Put it this way.

If Ross can man Zac Dawson look decent. He will make Kemp look good.



 
He is a third tall.

He is being played as the second key back and often on the main forward so Weitering can cheat and play off his man.

I’ve unfortunately had the pleasure of watching alot of Carlton.


I’m not declaring him a world beater or a star etc.

He is okay. But I also think he is heavily maligned for doing a job that isn’t what he should be asked to do. Often playing above his height and weight class.
Maybe we could play him on the ball ?

Yep, I agree with that. I definitely think he's found a home in the back line but he's also not a key defender.

He is on, far from a star but can play a role.

He could be a poor man's Josh Battle for us and I don't mind him, but not for anything less than a cheap pick.

2 years ago, Battle couldn’t get more than a 2 year deal.

I’m happy to leave it at him being a poor man’s Josh Battle. But he is also 23 and I’d be very keen to see what Ross can do with him across half back.
 
Former Saint Dan Hannebery on the links to Brodie Kemp..

“I don’t think I am pursuing him. I think St Kilda can do better than this. It is a strange one.”
Who is better though? Ethan Phillips was the other option but Kemp is a lot better than him and a lot more similar to Battle

I think Kemp, as others have mentioned, has upside in that we can play him in his natural position as a 3rd tall to free him up to intercept more, and the fact that he’s 23. Where was Battle when he was 23?
 
Our backline has two really solid pillars in Doogs and Wilkie. We dont need a superstar that costs a shitload at this point.

Trying to replace Battle to save 100k and burn a first round pick would be idiotic.

Kemp makes a lot of sense to me provided he comes cheap both trade and salary value and if it doesnt happen thats fine.
