"I was, and still am, open to my strengths of being able to play multiple positions.
Vossy and I, we sat down last year and pieced together what we wanted to go after. We always wanted to keep the prospect of me being able to play multiple positions or play forward up our sleeve, but we just all agreed that we wanted to go after one role and being really clear on that.
I still like the idea of being able to play multiple positions, depending on what happens in a game or if there are areas I need to fill. But the continuity of just locking in one role and really going after that, it was good for me. It just gave me that clarity that I needed, in terms of what I wanted to go after."
The club could change his focus to key forward with the ability to go back but I suspect that his attributes lend themselves more to playing in defence.
Noticed him playing a bit forward today.
Kicked 1-1

We had Lemmey in defence and he looked more comfortable than Kemp in the forward line. It must be difficult to change your game when all of your preparation is as a defender.

Cincotta did OK in the midfield. That may be another string to his bow.

Marchbank as an in and Kemp as an out makes this comment a bit worrying. Keml has more versatility than marchbank....and I'm a marchbank fan.

Thats my opinion. You might disagree with it but thats that.

Kemp could play on a wider variety of players and do better on some players compared to marchbank.
If your contention is true and he was brought in for a specific player, fair enough....but with no exposed match form to go by, I wouldn't have risked it.
I can't help but think there is something we don't know about with Kemp. He seems to be first one dropped and it can't be just about form.

I think you’re correct about him being the first dropped, however I’ve no idea why…
