[cookie monster]

Kemp needed a kick up at the ass. That turnover late in the game was unforgivable. He'll be better for it
Young is a break glass option only.
As good a match as any to bring in two underdone key backs

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Kemp praised for our improvement with defensive transition (acknowledge brain fades) but dropped for a guy who is an interceptor only, poor ball user and has zero games in him...guess time will tell but this seems risky. Weiters no brainer

I mean ... this is true. Marchy can be a bit of a quicksand when it comes to moving the ball quickly. Aside from the prelim last year, he was dropping marks like crazy as well.

 

[cookie monster]

I would hope the coaches are able to invest the time to see that Young has trouble killing contests on his own more regularly, and the Kemp is more a victim of playmaking flair.

If you're wanting to drop Kemp for his mistakes, then you'd almost have been wanting to drop Saad against Brisbane. Mistake-free* football is just impossible, and Young made it harder for his team at times despite holding up ok.

Kemp has a role to play somewhere in this 22, and it would be infuriating to see him dropped given how much he's rallied since that awful pre-season game.

You find the weirdest arguments to hang your hat on
Boyd's been fine. Clear point of difference player for us

 

[Juddernaut08]

What happened to Corey Durdin… he’s slipped out and been replaced by Akuei??

I like Dom but he wont be in the 22 this year.

Let me dream by having him as sub.

 

[Number_9]

Cant say i agree with marchbank coming in over kemp with a very minimal pre season, along side weitering who missed a fair chunk himself. A bit risky i reckon.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Marchbank had a full injury free pre season but got a bad flu a week before the practice games and thus missed a few weeks. He'd have plenty of miles in his legs.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

How’d he do that with an injured toe

The foot bone's connected to the toe bone, the toe bone's connected to the hamstring, the hamstring's connected to the something ...

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Anyway, we back in the selection panel and see where we sit this time tomorrow night

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Marchbank had a full injury free pre season but got a bad flu a week before the practice games and thus missed a few weeks. He'd have plenty of miles in his legs.

He lost 6kg and was out for over a month, played no practice matches. It’s not easy to return from a heavy illness like that.

If he wasn’t good enough for managed minutes in the VFL last week how can he possibly be good enough for a full AFL game 6 days later?

Kemp is undersized to play key back, that’s it…

The other 4 defensive spots are taken up by better quality players, that’s it…

Didn't the VFL team have a bye last week? Pretty sure our last VFL game was a practice match against the Tigers on the 14th.

He is just a better player, nothing more, nothing less…

Swear I read the boys had a run around last week.

Disregard that point if not. I’m still sceptical on his overall fitness with the reports of how hard the illness hit him.

Marchbank has been back in training for some time

While Kemp has played 2 games, defensively he is not at the level of Marchbank

Weitering and Marchbank defensive stoppers

Then 5 others that defend well, better users and decision makers

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

How’d he do that with an injured toe

Nose beers in the warm down, obviously
Haven’t you heard?

 

[Osc1]

So where does that leave Kemp ? Too much class and talent to be left in no man’s land. I agree he’s not a second defender and when all fit there’s no spot for him. Maybe up forward ? We do lack fire power except for the two talls and when Martin is fit (injury prone).

 

[Accidental genius]

Whenever weiters Marchy and gov are fit, it will probably mean kemp misses out a role in d50. Marchy is injury prone so kemp should have plenty of opportunity to continue building.

I agree….we need to find a spot for him.
Good problem to have I suppose

Yeah I think they had a bye, either way Marchy always comes in underdone and never embarrasses himself. A full pre season with a flu at the end is more training than he's done in probably half a decade now.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

At least we all now know the true meaning of “ICE” bath….thanks AFL

That is debatable. But I am not questioning the inclusion based on his talent.

You’re on a roll itchy

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Surprised you lasted this long tbh - our injury reports have notoriously been unreliable

1-2 weeks…

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

One of the unluckiest blokes in footy. And the setbacks are always completely random.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Someone has to milk it for a while…surprised ferrisb isnt all over it
