Just out of interest, if Kemp is D5, who are your 3 playing, cheaper D6, 7 and 8 (or is D8 your donut)?
I don't know that I'm seeing a lot the $123k defender rookies in the best 22s floating around, unless I'm missing them

There'll be a few pop up to replace Perez & McDonough early doors though surely.
Not even one bit. The fact that the talk for a rookie is about load management rather than earning a spot in the team is everything I need. That's basically saying he's clearly in our best 22 and it's about maximising his performance this season even if it means holding him back slightly.
I actually love the talk.
Throw in that he sounds like a very strong chance to be able flip into DEF come round 7 and I'm looking at him as a very strong last couple of rookies out candidate who should score 70+ in that role with definite scope for 80+.
Kemp will be a very strong play when/if he's in that round 1 team. From what I've seen so far it seems they've got a role penciled in for him so it's his job to get the marker out and make sure of it. Sounds like he could have some on-field scope as well which is big bonus when paying that bit of a premium.

Kemp yes
As a tiger fan no to Gibcus
Won’t score well enough for an on field spot
Would rather a 170k odd mid rookie like Erasmus who I think will be a 65-80 guy
Just means fielding an extra mid rookie over a backline rookie.
the backline and forwardline are still a raffle at this stage but am tempted to go 5 premo backs as the milera types don’t fill me with any confidence as a d5 option
Rioli/Coleman are tempting though. Would be happy with them at d5 and kemp at d6

Most of us have had to do the same thing. It’s just the way things have fallen which is annoying. Who knows though what rookies may bob up
For balance sake though it makes sense
The way I look at Gibcus is comparing him to DGB. He played plenty of wafl footy as a 17 year old in his draft year and looked great. He played 5 games and averaged 42 last year in the afl as a similar intercept marking key position type to Gibcus. Gibcus may be better but I’m not getting my hopes up as a scorer or starter yet
