Such a funny movie
Would you want it any other way? This place has probably saved my life on several occasions. It makes me feel “normal”.“A return to normalcy.”
When was this place ever normal?
I can strongly relate to this sentimentWould you want it any other way? This place has probably saved my life on several occasions. It makes me feel “normal”.
We're the Millers.
So he 'Played mid in draft year' it seems? Not sure what youre getting at here.Just not true.
This board makes up so much nonsense.
"The word on Kemp coming into the season was that he was destined for more midfield minutes after finding a home as a high-marking intercept defender in 2018, but he would end up having an impact just about everywhere...
Kemp’s disposal average of an even 20 across the NAB League and national carnival is quite impressive given the deep position he often took up either end of the ground, but if he is to play more permanently in the midfield, he can work on having bucket-loads of possessions more often."
He is not, and has never been, a natural mid.
Definitely the most 3 v 1s too! Cheers OwiesI remember reading that Curnow had the most 1v1 in the league with Harry in the top 15.
In D50 we spoil toward danger areas and blled from ground balls, in F50 it gets spoiled away from danger areas and blleed rebounds from groundballs.Our forward-line functioning together rarely occurs, and has been like that for way too long. Fix it please with everyone working to a plan/space/isolation/crumbing positions, including skills (and vision) improving the delivery by the midfielders.
2025 small/med forwards incl ZW, EH are both crafty kicks. C. Durd’s can hit up a lead. Moir is highly skilled.
Yep funny as f…We're the Millers.
Underrated movie
I’m not upset about pick 38 for Chugga, I would have been livid if we traded 32 for Kemp though.
I’m pumped we won’t be trying to put a square peg in a round hole trying to fit in Kennedy and allow us to have more pace in the team

Couldn’t agree more. When the Saints came knocking at the end of the trade period for Kemp the responses on here about what his value was (first round draft pick) were not matched with reality. From what I have seen of him he doesn’t have any midfield qualities…endurance, ball winning ability, burst from stoppage.Just not true.

Don’t forget he has a very good leap so he could make his career as a third tall…Couldn’t agree more.

The reality is he is a failed backman who I think should be given a chance up forward next year….but just because he played well against West Coast doesn’t mean it’s a sure thing he succeeds in that role. It’s a “make or break” year for him in 2025.
If I was a betting man I’d say it’s more likely he is just an average AFL footballer (still a good result for him) rather than a star of the game.
Also from your unattributed source that you've tried to quote our of context:Just not true.

#8 Brodie Kemp
In combination with Dow, Kemp was terrific at stoppages and broke the lines well to damage the Falcons going forward. Kemp’s steps through traffic and ability to dispose effectively with opponents near made him crucial to Bendigo’s form, with the second term his clear best. His contested marking was also handy, looking strong under duress and pulling in two for the day. There’s not much to say that won’t be said throughout the year, hopefully Kemp continues to show his silk on the ball.
#8 Brodie Kemp
Kemp finished with 17 disposals and a goal playing predominantly in the forward half. Although his influence on the game could have been greater, his clearance work and ball use was still very good, and he kicked the Pioneers’ winning goal, standing up at a crunch time.
As you can see, he split time between midfield and forward in what little NAB League he played in 2019, averaging just shy of 5 clearances a game.#8 Brodie Kemp
Impressive across the four quarters, he kicked the Pioneers’ opening goal of the game with a ripping shot to bend the ball back through the big sticks in the right forward pocket. He took a great mark at half-forward then kicked low in favour of Caleb Fisher in the pocket. With time and space he can be real damaging, and it is just tightening up the kicking when under pressure at speed. Kept winning it and has a knack of spinning out of trouble. Good hands in traffic too.
21 Brodie Kemp
Kemp was a hard worker through the midfield for the academy side, he played the role as the tall big bodied midfielder and played it well with clean hands at the stoppages and staying string in the contest. Kemp’s best bit of play came in the last quarter where he burst out of a stoppage with his run and kicked a bullet pass inside 50 which was dropped by his teammate. Kemp finished the game with 12 disposals and four clearances.
27 disposals, 5 clearances, and a game winning goal.#16 Brodie Kemp
Was the hero of the day, slotting an ice-cool set shot with the last kick of the game to give Country a miraculous win. While Kemp’s strong overhead mark and clinical conversion was the talking point at the final siren, he had already proved his worth earlier in the day. The big-bodied Bendigo product finally enjoyed an extended run through the midfield and was even used forward on the back of his strong overhead capabilities, amassing 27 disposals, seven marks, five clearances, and four inside 50s. Kemp’s cleanliness in snapping up the ball and using it by foot made him so effective early on as he accumulated strongly, working well at stoppages and linking into the forward arc in general play. He just seemed to get into the right spots and made the most of each touch, exemplified best with his game-winning play. Will be moving up draft boards on the back of his versatility and one-touch ability, and will look to finish off the carnival strongly on Wednesday.
So arguably the top key position prospect coming into the year went to work on his endurance base and forced his way into the midfield, then did it again at the highest level.#16 Brodie Kemp
Another standout game for Country and continues his ascent up draft boards with some crucial marks inside 50. He booted two goals from four scoring shots, and always threatened to be a danger in the air. One of the few consistent Country performers across the game, Kemp spent a lot of time on the inside and then went forward, winning 11 contested possessions and taking two contested marks. His strength in the air or at ground level was clear, and he was able to pump the ball inside 50 on numerous occasions. While he still made some mistakes by foot, Kemp was another player who took risks and was willing to put it on the line to try and win the championships for Country. A deserving All Australian member.
I don't think it's fair to say it's 'strange'... unlikely as it may be there's nothing wrong people wanting the coaches to try a few new things. I think he'll struggle to get consistent games next year unless he bulks up considerably to play a KPP role so why not let him train with the midfield and see how he goes before committing to that transformation? Soapy has also mentioned that he had a few runs on ball in pre season 2024 and dominated so it might not be that far fetched.Strange that people are still holding that candle for Kemp being a midfielder
More accurately, cheers teammates for taking the dumb option.

I'd like to see Cow tried on ball and Elijah half back, it may not be likely, but I don't think it's 'strange' to say a player may thrive in a role we haven't yet seen much of from them.
I'd rather see him used elsewhere on the ground firstly to see how he goes, but if the club is set on him playing down back imo he needs to increase his size and strength considerably. His leap and judgement is fairly good, but he gets rag dolled by everybody. Similar to early days Josh Battle tbh“unless he bulks up considerably to play a KPP role“
Think we need to Andy Dufresne from putting BK as a KPP = not for him, flanker type. Some game smarts required too.

I remain of the opinion he's somewhat lighter by choice due to constantly trying to ramp his mobility and endurance.I'd rather see him used elsewhere on the ground firstly to see how he goes, but if the club is set on him playing down back imo he needs to increase his size and strength considerably.
