Matthew "Flash" Campbell.

[Brad Roo]

He's an SA lad.

How would you guys (and gals) view him as a trade for S. McKernan?

Would a quick small forward go astray in the Adelaide forward line?

Hmmmm. Seems like a poor mans Lindsay Thomas. Not sure about that one

Slightly different, Lindsay Thomas is a much better mark.

Still, when Flash is on he can be electrifying. He kicked 3 goals last week.

When he's not on, he disappears.

Perhaps a change of scenery can get some consistency from him?

Do you think craigs disciplined methods wold be the right atmosphere for a bloke like Campbell?

 

[jo172]

It's good that you posted that here, because Matty Rendell is actually BigMan.

As for Campbell, meh.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'd do that trade.

Small forward is an area we've been short on. Jaensch has come in and has looked ok so maybe we feel that with Jaensch plus Knights/Porplyzia we have enough cover for that type of player now. None of the latter two are genuine crumbers though.

Our No.1 trade targets would be an inside midfielder or an establised ruckman but a crumbing forward would be next on the list.

McKernan has got some wraps on him but has gone backwards this year. A move (at the very least between SANFL clubs) would be a good thing you'd think.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I think that there could be a role for him in the crows team and that he could thrive in the Crows environment however I would not do a straight swap for SMACK

IMO McKernan will soon be a very very good AFL standard KPP, just like all big men in the first couple of seasons you need to give thm time to develop

for a trade to get done North will need to offer a little more then Campbell, lets be honest Campbell cant make North's best 22 due to form while SMACK can't make the crows best 22 due to were he is in his development however there is no doubt in my mind that SMACK as got 200+ very good AFL games to come

 

[Brad Roo]

You get the impression that he is mentally soft? I dunno about that.

I just think he looks better when he's given the room that he can't usually get with Thomas and Harvey buzzing around and it's not as if the Crows have an overabundance of quick crumbing goal kickers.

He could be quite dangerous parked under Tippets/Walkers feet.

 

[Crows Feet]

I think his "type" is what we lack. Our current smaller forwards are dependable and talented but none of them possess any flair. Last year it was Porps' courage that lifted the team when needed but there was no flash. Campbell can do the miraculous and would fit well into our team.

Not sure about SMACK as trade bait though.

 

[Allefgib]

Our best crumbing forward at the moment is probably Walker. Another one who won't be a target for I50's would be very nice to have.

Not sure where SMACK is headed to be honest. I've always felt we drafted lots of talls to have some trading options as they were never going to all fit in the one side.

Definitely worth a discussion this one.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Campbell suprisingly is still only 23yrs

change of environment, back in his home stste and the opprtunity to fill that small crumbing forward role, chasing guys down and pouncing onloose balls couldbe a win-win forboth club and player

this would also give us some flexibility for Porpy and Jaensh to push into the midfield if needed

 

[Bockchoy67]

Some people on this board seriously underestimate Shaun's ability. He might not be having an amazing year (his recent form has been promising though) but those who have seen him consistently will tell you that he is a very talented player who was always going to take a little bit of time.

It's pretty rare to get 196cm guys that provide such an eclectic mix of skill, athleticism and competitiveness. If he can improve his ability to run and carry and provide himself an option more often, his influence on games will be even greater. Right now he's still playing a bit inhibited but he is slowly getting last year's form back. It also hasn't helped that he's been playing in such a rubbish team.

The club rate this bloke very, very highly and I very much doubt we would trade him unless he asked to leave. But I wouldn't do this trade anyway. Campbell is skilled and quick but he doesn't have enough of a consistent impact and just doesn't do enough for me. Not to say I wouldn't have him in my side - but certainly not at the expense of Shaun McKernan.

no one is under estimating his ability however there is a sense that he may be home sick and seek a trade back home

 

[RoosterLad]

I would absolutely love to sign Matty Campbell. We miss his crumbing type in the forwardline, is super fast as well.

 

[Mackay train12]

Would fit into our foward line perfectly

Janesch Tipp Campbell
Knights Tex Dangerfield/Hendo

That is looking dangerous for any side, Mckernan doesnt look like hes going to get an oppurtunity anytime soon with our squad and although has shown promise, isnt something we need at the moment.

 

[Spurk]

There's no way they will trade Campbell.

Lindsay Thomas will be up for trade at some stage.

Thomas for McKernan.

Deal!

Then maybe we could do Dangerfield for Pratt and Tippett for Hale.

No thanks.

A fresh environment for these smart ass types like Thomas could do the world of good. Would be a good trade, even with a sweetener from North.

Bragroo obviously hasn't noticed the forward line dominating the past 2 weeks without Thomas and thinks it's Campbells fault the side kicked 18 goals last night.

Just doesn't get what makes a good-great side function and still thinks Rawlings is a 'great kick' and a monty for AA

He'd rather Thomas was there as a main target getting a heap of opportunity thanks to Brett Allison's love affair with Thomas and the side playing 3 quarters and kicking 10 goals. The Thomas affair with Allison has hurt Campbell and North wont go anywhere until they give Allison the flick, move on Hale, Thomas and Rawlings.

Campbell brings what North has none of, pace. No way he will be traded but is having a lean patch after a few injury worries.

The only reason they would consider trading him is because of the injuries.

Bradroo/wally is a liability to North with his ego and ignorance, especially how he tries to take what i say and rant constantly about the opposite.

Clown creates accounts to try and discredit certain posters to ensure his trolling of North and ensure North carry it's quota of mediocrity and liability.

I understand what you're getting at but I'm just not willing to throw a Shaun Mckernan who hasn't yet been afforded the chance to put on weight and start showing the type of player we know he can be for a Thomas type who can be drafted in the second round of just about any National draft. I'd rather keep plugging away with Jaensch and Porplyzia up there tbh and let Shaun develop.

Even if Shaun desperately wanted to go home and play for your team it's not as if our hands are tied, there'll be at least 2 Victorian clubs who will finish below North this year and given the compromised talent pool I have no doubt he'd be snapped up before you guys had the chance to take him. Thus I'd want reasonable compensation (and by reasonable compensation I mean a player of need rather than a Lindsay Thomas type).

I would look at Campbell however.

Let's face it you don't really need McKernan and some deal needs to be done for both clubs IMO.

Thomas is probably a type of player you need to some degree and might be a better player amongst a Johncock.

North need a McKernan more than Adelaide and surplus players have value to fill needs.

Thomas plus a second rounder.

Campbell probably would be in the mix, although we are a bit light on with crumbers and are caught between a rock and a hard place. Might as well kiss winning finals goodbye if we do a Carlton, but need a better crumber.

If Thomas was given a fresh start as a more mature player amongst some stronger indigenous role models that wont put up with his crap, you'd have something good, as would North with McKernan.

Campbell is class where Thomas needs a complete rebuild that wont happen at North but could be a good player under the right circumstances.

 

[SebastianVettel]

No mug trades a highly regarded KPP with enormous upside for an irrelevant small forward. Would be laughed off the table and out of town.

Please don't take this tool seriously folks.

He's been banned from the North board for his ridiculous anti Thomas drivel.

In fact, Adelaide mods, could you deal with him if he attempts to further hijack my thread?

 

[breeno]

Spurk has been banned from his own board for this vendetta against Lindsay.

Take what he says with a grain of salt.

LOL, first person ever to copy exactly what was said above, well done young man.

Actually 1 mod with a cone of silence over Rawlings, Lower and Thomas is the difference.

The other mods were more than happy with one of the better if not slightly outspoken posters on that sucky, clicky, homoerotic, persecuted board.

From what I've heard they all wanted you gone, much like the rest of the North board. No more responses from me as you will succeed in the hi-jacking of BR's thread.
