Re: pick 27
St Kilda is targeting Carlton defender Brodie Kemp, reports Seven’s Mitch Cleary.
Kemp, 23, was drafted at pick No. 17 in the 2019 Draft by then Carlton list manager Stephen Silvagni, who now holds that role at St Kilda.
While Kemp is contracted until the end of next season, Cleary says they’re chasing Kemp as a third-tall defender to replace Josh Battle who they lost as an unrestricted free agent to Hawthorn.

How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?

Re: pick 27
Yeah well he'd be Battle's replacement

I would love someone whose average is BOG (Best On Ground)

Re: pick 27
I don't mind Kemp. He's young and I think with the right coaching and guidance, he has upside
Josh Battle's numbers were shiithouse in 2019-2021*
In other words he was bog average
I think if Kemp comes to us for nothing... then we have nothing to lose. Incidentally... here's a comparison of Kemp v Battle at same age

Re: pick 27
Battle was a lot better overhead and a better kick than Kemp
Not even sure which position Kemp plays?

Re: pick 27
I think it's their size. Not quite tall enough to be a KPP. Battle took a while to settle in to a position as well. I think Kemp has potential to improve as a player
Interesting to compare the two players for 2023. Josh turned 25 last year while Kemp was only 22. Josh's numbers are very underwhelming. I think our list management are pissing themselves laughing that we got pick 8 as compensation

Re: pick 27
Bit early to call this one a failure imo

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
