Matt Campbell

[halfback dasher]

Was seen with Brett Ratten earlier this week , two yrs ago we offered a second rdr for him ......take him for nothing now ?? Imo for sure ......it release Rioli and Bruest , iv also heard form a good mate that he does have the aerobic capacity to go into the midfield.....another rotation a bonus. He's also indigenous which we have proven that we can get the best out of........thoughts please.

We are lacking good depth in small forwards so it wouldn't surprise me. If Bruest gets injured for example who have we got? Wanganeen, Frank?

 

[hawkz]

Rather not.

If we recruit this guy after cutting Schneider I will chop up my 2013 membership when it arrives!

We have an abundance of players that can do what he can + more!

The Breust point is a good one. Now playing more mid field it leaves us without that small goal-kicking option up forward. Could be a short-term thing before Anderson is ready for seniors. But yes, while I vaguely see the logic, and I have heard the whispers, I'd prefer to feed myself into a tree-shredder.

 

[Off The Couch]

I suppose we could do worse, afterall we seem to make a habit of giving deadbeats a second chance. Good little goal sneak, could free up Cyril to play in the midfield a bit more or rotate them through the middle. More I think about it the better it sounds.

 

[Buddy Guy]

Beat me to it dasher.
Many of you will remember that I was pretty cut when North rejected our offer of a second rounder for Matty a couple of years ago.
Have a look at the replay from round 20 2011 when he, almost, single-handedly got the Kangas over the line against us with an awesome last quarter kicking 4 in a row.
If we got him for free, in addition to picking up Lake and Anderson we will have had an unbelievable off season IMO.

Who ....

[savagelunchbox]

Can score goals... can also do hammies.

 

[SodaPop]

Yeah I'd take him with pick 29 if he makes it that far.

 

[Henry Jr]

Any coincidence that Osborne is delisted after seeing that Campbell is available. Makes sense what your saying Dash.

Would you rookie him or senior list him?

 

[HawksILove]

I say bring him on

 

[dipper86]

As a defensive forward option....then why not, at the very least it gives Puopolo some competition to perform....actually come to think of it, play the kids.

 

[TheFourPillars]

He would make a a great... dammit i just can't get words...

 

[dermott]

The probability of drafting a reasonable AFL player with our late picks are minimal so I have no problem with the club looking at delisted free agents. At least we know he can play at the top level.
With regard to Campbell I will defer to the judgment of our coaches/ recruiters to judge whether we need him. I do have some concern however about his hamstring problems and his revelry at Crown casino. I hope he is over both.

Atleast if he's at the Caz we know where he is ..........

There is that to it.

I doubt if we will use pick 29 on him. We would take him as a delisted FA or with a later pick in the draft.
Pick 29 should be used on a young player.

I would love to have him. I think he is a wonderful footballer. If we had pick 1 I'd get me some Matt Campbell.

I'm aware of a prominent Hawks poster who is so excited about his possible arrival he is going to make a banner for him to run through at his first training session. Love poetry may be involved.

Only toilet humour is a higher form of wit.

 

[Messenger]

Couldn't work a potty joke into it.

 

[Hodge is God]

Wouldn't be against it, seems a reasonable player.

How old is he?

 

[floki]

Oh God Noooooooooo
Flash in the pan specialist, where we gonna hide him?, as the sub?, spare my days.
