Gunston plays a fair bit taller than his height but so do McGovern and Kemp. I’d start Kemp on Gunston; he has the athleticism to match anything that Gunston can produce. Gunston is wily but getting beat in contests tends to concentrate the mind on the basics.
Kemp (and Silvagni) took Young’s role when he went into the ruck and that could be a challenge with Brisbane’s tall forwards and the big O if he rests forward. It will be interesting to see how we play that but limiting supply should be the focus.
