I believe it should be
Out: Vince Campbell and Stevens
In: Reilly petrenko/knights* and Tippet

Vince out with a hammy straight swap for reilly

Campbell right out!!!! Have no time for him. Dont like him and have heard him referred to as the modern day scott hodges (good in the sanfl but cant play afl) Get rid of him!!!!!! Bring petrenko in for a go at the top level

Stevens out for tippet purely to stretch the bombers defense and it'll help to be able to roatae as meny rucks as possible through hille to tire him out.


*Knights only in if he is 100% fit

Ok, so you've shouted it from the roof tops, now explain WHY you don't like Campbell, and what possible grounds could you have for his dropping this week. Secondly, Stevens probably had his BEST match for the season last weekend and you want to drop him for a KID who hasn't played ANY footy for two weeks and has been down on form and confidence for a month or so before that. :rolleyes: Knights had a hamstring injury and has had one week off. Won't be back before next week.

I wouldn't bother, some people just have no clue as to what they are talking about and are perfectly happen to remain that way.
 
Ill concede Iwas wrong about stevens I just checked his stats and hadn'trealised how well he had been playing so sorry stevo:thumbsu::)

On the other hand campbell is useless IMO he has no stand out attributes and we would be better served giving petrenko or another young player a go.

Quite frankly i think the only reason he was played was to boost any potential trade value in a similar way to meesen last year.

Ill be surprised and disappointed if he is that the club next year.

Knights ruled out this week

Riley IN Vince OUT

Knights out should keep us to the one change as above. Would love to see Tippett at least get a run in the SANFL this weekend, Petrenko would be good for a bit of wow factor but we all know how UNINSPIRING hte team changes generally are!!

Ok so we've got your thinking half way right. ;) Now let's work on the other half.

Are you backing your belief re campbell on stats or do you actually WATCH the games? Because if you watched the games you would know that Campbell has been doing some really tough hard nut stuff - 1%ers that many new footy players generally don't tend to do. He has certainly not been useless.

You really have no idea do you.

Bryce Campbell is one of the toughest players in our team. Do you even watch the game or do you just go on stats.

WELL HOWS THIS FOR STATS.

Two weeks ago Campbell led out tackle count with 6 tackles and only layed half the game.

Please dont compare him to Meeson. Meeson even struggled in the SANFL while Bryce has won a B&F in the SANFL when he was only 21.
 
Campbell certainly has been doing well enough to retain his spot this week.

Any talk of dropping him is silly.


It's the end of the year that is interesting for him - will he be a required player knowing that we have a few young midfielders that will be pushing for his spot?

Or could he play more of a Doughty type role?
 
I think Bryce, although obviously lacking polish and A+ skill deserves to be ratined for the next few weeks atleast.

He will be on the chopping block at years end and deserves game time to show us what he has at AFL level.

His effort has been very very good.

Absolutely right. He is a hard in and under player who has been worth his place the last few weeks for his defensive pressure alone. I've felt all along that he may lack enough pace to have a long AFL career, but haven't we all been wrong about players in the past? I think he deserves the next few weeks to show what he's got so that any decision on his future at year's end is an informed one.
Anyone that believes there will be several changes this week needs to remove hand.

I think his defensive pressure along with his disposal is his two main assets.

Still worth a go for the rest of the year.
