The narrative is that Kemp was supposed to be tried in the midfield but his ACL meant that it never happened.Firstly, you might well be the only person who sees that history like that, I've no idea why you are hell bent on dismissing what actually happened and rewriting history.
More importantly, he hasn’t shown any midfielder attributes in his time with us.
Secondly, we've not played him there because he arrived injured and from the moment he started rehab we slated him to play behind the footy. We even held discussions on this forum about it, that running in straight lines might be a better option for a kid recovering from a knee, a better option to twisting and turning in the midfield.
Probably the real truth is that it was more due to BB's defensive mindset and our immediate need rather than what might be best for the player, there were even a lot of people still slagging off Weiters as a viable KPD at the time Kemp was began training!
But then again, some people are just stubborn, like those still asserting Ben Silvagni has somehow been maligned as a KPD player!
