View Full Version : Bryce Campbell: A Chance to Debut This Week?
Drummond

Bryce has been in reasonable form for Norwood this year, but yesterday was his best game of the season IMO. He collected 21 possessions, 5 marks and a goal and was named 5th best for the Legs. His delivery to the forwards was superb and his desperation was once again a highlight. He’s been spending 50% of the game across the forward line and the other 50% through the midfield.

Massie would have to be ahead of him as would Rhys Archard, Gill, Vince Douglas so on and so on.
But no one bloody gets dropped....

Massie without doubt ahead of him, but I don’t see why both couldn’t come in as both are performing.
Rhys Archard
He hasn’t even been elevated yet, so at this stage it’s impossible for him to play this week.
Gill
Played 2 games all year, 3 if you count reserves. Maybe in a few weeks, but not quite yet.
Vince
Was given his chance at AFL level but struggled. I could see him being included though because Craigy does rate him. Not a forward though, so if he was to come in it would have to be as a midfielder.
Douglas
Douglas had 10 possessions last week for Glenelg and was comprehensively beaten by both his opponents.

Wait - hasn't he been having a terrible year until the last couple of weeks?

That performance is arguably as good as Gills also.

Terrible? Yeah right. :rolleyes: He's had different roles to that of the past. He's spending far more time up forward, probably a request from the Crows.
18 possessions, 3 marks, 7 tackles
12 possessions, 5 marks, 2 goals
20 possessions, 4 marks
13 possessions, 1 goal, 5 tackles
21 possessions, 5 marks, 1 goal
Massie or Vince, surely.
What makes you say Vince? Couldn't do a thing at AFL level, needs a good month with the Eagles IMO.
Seriously, there are so many people on this board who never attend or watch the SANFL, and they have no idea about the form of those playing in the local league. You write people off without any evidence to back up your claims.

Drummond, how would you rate Vince's form for the Eagles, playing in the midfield?

Much more suited to the midfield than up forward. He spent the first half as a forward and had very little impact. However when he was put on the ball in the second half he had a much greater influence. He’s far too unaccountable though; his opponent for much of the game was defender McGuinness who finished with 29 possessions and was BOG. I overheard a few Eagles supporters on the way out discussing Vince’s game. They, like I, said he had a good game but he made a few too many errors.

Yesterday was his second game for the Eagles. Has 25 odd disposals in his last outing.

Vince, who travelled to Melbourne as an emergency but returned to Adelaide on Saturday afternoon, collected 26 possessions and kicked a goal as a midfielder for the Eagles.

Massie who has been in excellent form for the redlegs can't get a game and you seriously think a player that has been in reasonable form might? C'mon Drummond, maybe start thinking before typing and posting pictures of your favourite boys.
I woudn't mind giving him a crack, have to try something new - experiment a bit, but Massie would have to get a spot first. Oh and nice picture, you should send it into the SANFL's photo competition :thumbsu:

Norwood has the bye this week so why not look at both Massie and Campbell while they are in form? At least both Massie and Campbell are ACCOUNTABLE midfielders and will stick to their men unlike some other current midfielders we have.....

It has to be Massie; must be rewarded for good form.

Campbell is nowhere near debuting and if you weren't such a biased supporter you'd realise that, far too many players ahead of him, haven't even heard his name mentioned this year at all.

What a bandwaggoner you must be. Campbell was an emergency for the Brisbane game and was flown to Brisbane as he was on standby.

That's all he's ever going to be this year, an emergency. The only way he'll get into the team is thru a heap of injuries.

The reason why Campbell probably travelled as an emergency was to give Bryce some experience in travelling with the team. Maybe Norwood had a bye at the same time and the Crows thought he may benefit from the experience.
For the record, Bryce is behind a few others for an AFL game.

Porplyzia (albeit after an ordinary game) is currently playing the crumbing/forward role.
I expect Massie will come in, freeing up one of our HB flankers to rotate through the midfield.

I was bout to say Mass is the one I will agree with should be in first but Campbell should be second in line. And Porps played HBF a lot of the second half yesterday.

Porps didn't look suited to HBF yesterday, though perhaps he was just having a bad day at the office.

Injury is going to force some changes this week. I think Massie deserves a spot as well as Campbell but experience might be the way to go and I'd say Massie deserves a recall.

Seems to be the story of our year - forced changes. Apart from Jericho, who else has been dropped? Must be some sort of record. Surely, the only way is up from here.

I don't think I have ever wanted a player to be selected more than Rocket, the team things he does are fantastic. He goes 100% all the time, I am not saying he is going to come in and star at AFL level but I would love to see him get a go. An inspiration to watch.
Massie has to come in this week and should get in ahead of Vince. Bernie was one of the best for the Eagles but his opponent was one of the best on the ground.
People have written off Archard, I think he could have something to offer, but perhaps needs another big game.
I think everybody agrees that a major problem for adelaide is that they lack a crumbing/keep the ball in the area forward.
Vince is not this, he seems naturally suited to the midfield and seems to be able his undoubted ball smarts in that area. I'd like to see him on the wing.
Campbell and archard are probably best suited to the forward role and both have some speed which adelaide desperately needs. Douglas also seems more suited to that small midfield rather than forward role.
Massie is best suited for a run with or defensive role in the afl - yes his and vince's form are probably the best but you have to pick according to positions required rather than hope that the role can be filled by somebody unacquainted or even unsuited to that position.
Adelaide need to get a little less conservative with their approach to the game - it's good to have structure and systems but it can lead to predictability as well. I would like to see craig back the boys, let them make mistakes and get back to enjoying themselves out there.

#### off Drummond, quit it with your Norwood biased rubbish, Massie is well clear of Bryce Campbell.. and when you say that was his best game for the season and he only got 21 touches and 5th best.. do you really think that form is good enough to warrant a debut? if another player from one of the 8 other clubs put in a similar performance you would say "nope no chance, Norwood Norwood blah blah" and then post a few photos of your loverboys.

Let’s get a few things straight. Campbell was in much better form last year, which probably comes down to the fact he had no pre-season and he spent pretty much the entire year playing in the midfield in 2006. Campbell’s ankle and shoulder injuries were quite severe and when he started playing reserves he was quite out of touch. He now has a handful of league games under his belt and he seems to be improving every week. Considering he was traveling emergency and was pulled out of the Legs game after only 1 reasonably average league game back, the coaching staff obviously see something they like.
And why have a crack at me for posting pics? Some people on here might like to see them as they probably don’t even know what these lesser known players look like. But if it’s such a problem I won’t bother in future.

On form, wouldn't Archard be more of a chance than Campbell as a forward crumber (assuming he is upgraded)?

I would probably say so as Archard has been good the past few weeks while Campbell's effort on the weekend was his best so far and it was nothing special really. Bryce is a Redleg though so obviously Drumstick thinks he should play over a Panther.

not 1000000000%?
Archard was said to be ineligible by someone, wouldn't the injuries sustained allow him to play though?
By the way, how's Pfeiffer going? Is he still sick with glandular fever? What is the prognosis?

We have three players currently on the long term injury list (Biglands, Hentschel & Tippett). To date, only one has been "replaced" by an upgraded rookie - McIntyre coming in for Biglands.
Archard remains ineligible to play with the big boys until such time as the club sees fit to elevate him from the rookie list to the senior list, replacing one of the two remaining LTI victims. Doing so is just a formality.
So, technically he's ineligible at present. The reality is that there's no reason he can't play this weekend if needed.

Yeah, exactly. Usually a rookie list upgrade coincides with a debut as well. No point in upgrading at this stage if you don't play them*
* I'm aware that McIntyre hasn't played yet, but it is the general trend with mid season upgrades.

McIntyre was promoted as cover for Rutten, who was looking extremely doubtful at the time. As it turned out, Rutten passed his fitness test and had a pearler of a game:). McIntyre on the other hand was injured in his first SANFL game immediately after being promoted :(.
