Tom Campbell a Saint!

[Impatient Sainter]

Via Minga on BF -

Tom Campbell is a Saint.

DFA, 1 year deal.

[CURLY]

Good get looks competitive in the ruck and won't be beaten outright like others.

[spert]

I hope he does the job- was he not getting games at North due to Goldy being the main ruck?

[bigcarl]

Good. The ruck depth that we need.

[Banger9798]

Now for a KPD

[tony74]

Yep, and Paul has gone to Port Melbourne

[bergsone]

Has he played as a key position in his time in afl or only ruck

[Devilhead]

Probably a step up from PHunter but at 30 it will only be a year or 2 until Carl MkII (Max) comes online

Hopefully Max gets a run next year as well

[Banger9798]

Yep, and Paul has gone to Port Melbourne

Tony, have you got any info on our trade period ?
Were we in the window for Ladhams?
What did we offer for Xerri
Etc

[tony74]

We wanted Ladhams but we were never going to get him. Didn’t rate Xerri, Campbell was always the next pick

[B.M]

Not a bad back up option

Big unit! But he is so muscle bound he can barely run.

[Banger9798]

I can't even remember seeing him play.
Any highlights anywhere?

Clearly North feel differently about Xerri

[st.byron]

We wanted Ladhams but we were never going to get him. Didn’t rate Xerri, Campbell was always the next pick

So why then did we try and get Xerri if we didn't rate him?

[SuperDuper]

well we didnt rate him to the level of what North was asking... which wasnt that much.. we would have paid up if we did rate him highly which we clearly didnt...

but yes.. we did rate him enough to offer a late pick

[Teflon]

Campbell looks another smart pick up
Sure he’s depth but he can go forward better than Hunter and for 1 year seems keen to help young Heath out
From Dogs/Roos fans he’s a ripping fella and a mountain of a guy who looks awkward but kicks ok and will be good around the club

[wally]

I think all going well he should play a few games next season between injuries and “ managing/ resting” Roma and paddy. I’m guessing that was plan last year just that McK and Hunter weren’t quite good enough.

Welcome to the St.Kilda Football Club Tom I hope your time at our club will be a rewarding experience for both you & the club as a whole

I think Tony is expressing his own opinion on Xerri, not that of the club.

Not sure how you call this a smart pick.
Its bloody awful.
Shows me we don't cherish spots on our list enough.
Its pure laziness from our recruiters and list management team to just tick a box and not scour the country for a better option.
Will remind you that Dean Cox, Aaron Sandilands, Rowan Marshall and Oscar McInerney all came off the rookie list.
You can seriously tell me this is the best option in Australia can you?
Bloody awful stuff from our club.
Another list clogger.
