Toast Pick #17 Welcome to Carlton Brodie Kemp

[lily of laguna]

Alas, our knee rehab advisory group is chock full of talent.

That's also why the physio went with Doc to the U.S. There has been a lot of planning in the hope that Kemp got to the blues, and SOS had the guts to make the necessary moves. As mentioned, we had other players we rated higher but once they were gone, Kemp was definitely wanted.

A great pick up i think this kid could turn out to be the best of the lot out of this draft i am rapt some great work by SOS...

Could the draft scribes tell me why SOS would be so sure Kemp would be there at 17? Could he also have had another slider in mind at that pick?

Guards! Seize this insolent bastard and take him away

Great stuff SoS

No pressure but he could be crippafidis

Dad is a mad Hawks fan.

Teased him about taking Hodge in the super draft after Judd’s debut and he told me that he was still comfortable with the Hodge pick and he would turn out alright.

Yes I know what a heretic I am and have sought the appropriate counselling since I posted this

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Yep, I bet Walks is rapt.

Definitely looks like it!

 

[thylacine60]

walks seems ok with the selection........

 

[Jeremias]

I wonder if Walker will be so kind as to lend Brodie his hat for training on Monday.

 

[thylacine60]

anyone we take tonight is cream for mine..........

Really hard to say what sort of player he is from highlights. Some suggest a medium marking forward, some suggest a centerman, some suggest a running half back. It's surprising how quick he is for his size and how he can provide good marking with all of that. Makes it hard to compare him to other players.

Looks a pretty unique player.

But when I add up his physique, versatility and skillset, he reminds me a lot of elliot yeo

Can confirm

 

[branedotorg]

On the fox coverage last night he said he'd be ready to play July but was ready to do what the club wanted.

I can't remember if it was before or after we picked him.

Sit tight all.

 

[BIuebagger]

As people have said, looks unique and a proper utility. Im excited about this guy. Seems like he could be anything. Patience, just want him to be confident in his knee and ready to crack in at senior level. Talent looks fantastic though. Welcome Brodie, heres to a long and healthy career.

 

[Johnny James]

The one I wanted.
Could end being the best of the draft.
