Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[T2B_]

Don't get this St Kilda entitlement with Kemp.

I repeat, he is a contracted player, happy at Carlton, hasn't requested a trade.

To get him to even look towards the door, the Saints need to offer up big overs.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Lets get real.. SOS won't trade a top 10 pick.... for anything.
I like Kemp. Get the pick from dogs for MK and last one out, turn the lights off

Was he our list manager when we gave #7 for Jaksch?

 

[GoBlues!]

I like Kemp, versatile and generally plays out of his best position but another who stays on the park.
We seem to be ridding ourselves of durable players?

Yep and at 23 he has another 10 years ahead of him. That’s an important age demographic in our team I’d be reluctant to let go even for a pick 25.

 

[reg_lower91]

Let's be real for a minute... I don't think we're necessarily interested in trading away Kemp. More of a "show us what you're offering and we might consider it" kind of situation...

I don't think we should trade him because if we start losing talls, we're screwed. But I would also look at it if the price tag was too good to be true...

If you're Austin, what is the minimum pick you'd require in order to make you consider the trade?

yet teams will scoff at anything above a third rounder.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Tend to agree.

Kemp's best attribute (to us) is his flexibility, but where does he definitely fit in the 22?

For me, his spot up forward would be largely dependent on how Moir goes.

Think Moir and kemp are both on for the same forward line. Moir and kemp both run like smalls. There's no pressure loss there. Kemp's about to hit his stride too. As exciting as Moir is he's a way off still. Especially expecting a full season. Kemp's got third picked in the forward line. With 2 smalls and Moir/ elijah rotating

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Was he our list manager when we gave #7 for Jaksch?

He was GWS’s

 

[Coops93]

I don’t normally rate what Brereton says but I think he nails this about the draft.

Having a pick inside the top 3 can get you a player you can build a side around perhaps an all time great,having a pick around pick 12 gets you a good player.

What not have the opportunity in getting another Bont/Cripps instead of a Bruhn/Gibcus

Big difference.


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

The point is sound but you've undermined it by using Cripps as the example, given where he was picked.

But overall, yes. You're much, much more likely to get a generational player inside the top 5, an indeed the top 3.

 

[Murphkreuzmitch]

I am not sure where trading Kemp would be viable for us. He is important now and in the future. Our KPP player stocks all 3-5 years older than him.

 

[Flaro]

Was he our list manager when we gave #7 for Jaksch?

He was list manager of GWS

 

[mbekka3]

What account was that?
How do you lose it?

I haven't used it in so long, I couldn't remember the email I used or my username so I just created a new one, I think it was Moeb but not sure, didn't work for me...

I definitely remember talking to you along the way..

 

[SirSanchez]

Oh no. SOS please don’t do a dodoro move and make this painful and drawn out.

 

[kingkingston]

 

[reg_lower91]

Equivalent of pick 4.... madness.

 

[Soapy V]

Freo have been reemed

 

[ctwenty1]

If the Riolo deal goes through as expected they will have 7 first round picks (1,6,10,11,18,20,23) and pick 24

Wow

 

[Blue Pulse]

Very interesting re: Kemp

Very disturbing

 

[T2B_]

Freo have been reemed

As usual

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Sos either discusses picks 7 or 8 in regards to Kemp or Austin just tells him to **** off and slams the car door shut on the way out of the meeting……

 

[blue healer]

As a genuine question, do you think the loss of Kemp hurts our performance next season?

Imo I think it does. Showed genuine versatility this year.

I'm all for sustained success, but if the club is continually looking at future potential as opposed to "strike now", I fear we stay just "good" and not "great".

I don't think the loss of Kemp will hurt our performance next season any more, and probably less, than the loss of Kennedy.

Some get a little carried away with his game against W/C, a team that didn't want to play that game, and even then Kennedy playing a similar position got almost twice as many touches and kicked 2 goals.

I'm not selling him short, there is an upside to him but one swallow doesn't make a summer. If the price is right I'm happy to take the same punt we have with Kennedy,

 

[Earls Smother]

As exciting as Moir is he's a way off still. Especially expecting a full season. Kemp's got third picked in the forward line. With 2 smalls and Moir/ elijah rotating

Maybe, but we are going to want to fit another genuine runner in there like Doc or Cotts.

I guess whether we trade him or not will answer the question. The other outgoing trades I can understand from a speed improvement perspective, but Kemp is quick for his size, so way more valuable.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

What the actual **** is that Bolton deal? Oh my god

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Equivalent of pick 4.... madness.

I’d take Bolton over our pick 3 every day of the week.
