WHEN he was drafted, the main strength of Brodie Kemp was mentioned frequently.

Up forward, in the midfield or down back — his versatility was his asset.

So where exactly does the man himself see as his long-term position in the Navy Blue?

Speaking to Carlton Media yesterday, Kemp said he was doing vision with three leaders from multiple positions.

“I was doing a lot of vision with ‘Jonesy’ and ‘Weiters’ with the backs. That was probably the main focus,” Kemp said.

“On the side, I was doing stuff with ‘Crippa’ and watching vision with him. We know how good his stoppage craft and footy IQ is.

“To try and pick his brain is something I really like doing and will continue to do to hopefully mould myself into a better player.”

Kemp has spent portions of his underage career in every position on the ground, which is what saw Carlton draft the talented youngster with pick No.17.

Of course, Kemp was touted as one of the most talented youngsters in the draft pool prior to a knee injury he sustained.

One of those reasons was his showing against South Australia as an inside midfielder, where he would ultimately kick the match-winning goal.

It’s in that position where Kemp hopes to strut his stuff for years to come.

“I’d probably say the midfield, based on my top-age and bottom-age years,” he said.

“I started to working into playing midfield and that helped me grow my ability in terms of footy.

“If I can keep working really hard and try to model my game on the best players and picking ‘Crippa’s’ brain, that’ll definitely help me.”
