Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 41 matches Dempsey consistently functions as a high-volume workhorse, averaging over nine carries and seven tackles per game — numbers that point to a Number 8 who is central to both the attack's momentum and the defensive structure. His single-game peaks of 23 carries and 23 tackles indicate he can step up his workload significantly when the match demands it. The combination of nearly 1350 metres carried and close to 290 tackles across his recorded matches underlines a player who contributes heavily in both directions throughout a contest.
