Dow is interesting, he can win a significant volume of inside footy but that is where it seems to end, it was good to see him score but I can't say his field kicking has improved and he had a couple of Barry Crocker disposals. A he is still not laying many tackles, almost like he has been told not to!
Kemp threw himself around, but didn't get too many good outcomes from his efforts. For me this is a no win situation, he's just not a defender no matter how much people want him to be, his game lifts once he can move forward of centre. But the renaissance of Gov and return of Marchbank might doom Kemp because in the short term both have Kemp comfortably covered for disposal, it all depends on time and outlook.
Some must be on the trade table at seasons end, it's untenable to keep them all, and that may affect this weeks selections as much as any other issue!
