Brodie Kemp (born 1 May 2001) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
Kemp was selected by Carlton at No. 17 in the 2019 AFL draft, being drafted from the Bendigo Pioneers.[2] After multiple injuries he played 6 games across the 2021 and 2022 seasons, before establishing himself in the backline during 2023, playing 17 games.[3][4]
In a 2025 clash against Western Bulldogs, Kemp, now playing in the forward line, kicked a career best 5 goals.
When Carlton played West Coast during Gather Round, Kemp was running from the goal square, when his leg collapsed underneath him. Scans revealed that Kemp had ruptured his Achilles, and will miss the remainder of the 2025 AFL season.[5]
