Brodie Kemp Biography

Brodie Kemp makes his AFL debut for Carlton at Adelaide Oval with 5 disposals (3 kicks and 2 handballs), 2 marks and 3 tackles in a 95-point loss to Port Adelaide.

Brodie Kemp will undergo surgery for a rolled ankle and will be sidelined for at least 12 weeks.

Injured draft prospect Brodie Kemp says the reassurance of AFL recruiters helped quell the disappointment of requiring a knee reconstruction.

Kemp had firmed for a spot in the top 10 on draft night before the injury, and although the setback could see him fall a few spots, the 18-year-old is still likely to have his name called in the first round.

"There were a lot of recruiters at the game that I did it so when I came back out to watch the boys finish the rest of the game a few recruiters came up to me and said 'Look mate, you've done enough and had a good championships so don't stress too much'," Kemp told the Road to the Draft podcast.

"It was good to get that from the guys who are looking at you and get that reassurance going forward."
