If they were all fit and firing McGovern and Marchbank have Kemp comfortably covered as intercept defenders.
We are wasting Kemp, he has a set of skills / abilities that rivals most tall mids, it will be very interesting to see what we do with list management at the end of this season. I suspect clubs short of big bodied mids will quite possibly come after Kemp.
Fyfe back perhaps highlights this, the only like for like we've got is Cripps, so they probably run off each other, no point tagging them or rotating others. If we had Kemp in the mid rotation you could double team Fyfe with Cripps and Kemp, I think we did similar for a short time with SoJ a season or two back and it worked quite well, but at the moment SoJ is really needed elsewhere!
