[sante]

What the? We dont have a captain

 

[The Super Grass]

Poor Brownyrox. Mate our captain stepped down months ago.

FWIW I want Richo to be made Capt.

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

Brownyrox has been starting some pearlers of threads. This is awesome too.

 

[Infamy]

The question isn't worded well at all

LMAO.Plus he spelt his own suburb wrong in his avatar. Apart from that he's flying.

Browny does rock though I guess.

Agreed...

Very poor stuff

yes - he should be captain
yes - he shouldnt be captain

 

[Hammerfire]

BTW i ********ed up my vote.

I thought the question was "Do you think Campbell SHOULD be captain" not shouldn't.

As far as i'm concerned Campbell has overstayed his welcome at least for this seasom coming up, and probably 2004.

I like the idea of him being a leading/marking FP, but if i had the choice i would of had him retire at the end of 2004.

Why would he retire?

In the FP role he could add 2 goals a game to the side.

He will be a Waganeen/Voss type player in the forward pocket

 

[Hammerfire]

He has what, one year left in him?

I know you can't stack a list full of kids, but i would of preferred another kid on the list rather than Campbell.

Ok he is probably contracted, and ok he has the senior experience which is what kids need around them when they first get drafted, but still i'd prefer him retired.

 

[sante]

Hammerfire, i guess you think AK, Graham, Staff and Richo should all retire to then?

i thought graham did retire but richmond said that we'd take him so he came out of retirement.
better not be like the others to come back out of retirement.

He didnt want to. Hawks gave him the choice retire or be kicked out.

Forced upon him.

Kellaway - If he doesn't doo much this year you'd think he'd be close to retiring, as he'll be 30 at the end of '05.
Graham - We've got Graham to help with our major problem (Defense), only has a year in him.
Staff - Was given a 1 year contract simply because at the time our talls situation was unknown ie: No Simmo, No Knobel, Ottens uncontracted.
Richo - No.

Kellaway is in the in the Morrison, Chaffy group. If he has a good '05 and proves his worth he will remain on the list for the future (doubt hes got much left in him anyway). If not he will be cut.

I like Graham. Our defence is average and Mark will play a important role. Last year I thought he was quite good in a sh1te side. Hopfully has 2 years left in him and will, along with Gaspar be a solid in our backline this uocimming season. He should fit in nicly untill McGuane, Thurfeild, Moore, Schulz, Archibald types mature.

Its good having Stafford this season. I doubt we will get 22 games from him but its good to have 3 decent ruckman on the list. He needed to be signed as our ruck stocks were unknown at the time. When Stafford retires after this season Knoble will be 25, Simmonds 27 and Pattison will start to push for the 22.

If Graham is able to be the security of not having a full forward like Lloyd or Fevola kicking a heap against us then he will be worth it.

I thought that was what Gaspars Ransom money was for, but if after agreeing to pay a bloke $600,000 a year for five years we still find ourselves in the market for someone in his positon then thats football I guess.

Sorry Im not one of the blokes to pat Gaspar on the back for taking a pay cut. Just dont think ill ever really warm to him.

From the mouths of Hawks:

As for position, 3rd tall defender/running half back type. Capable of pinch-hitting (did it for us for ten seasons pinch-hitting) FB too.

Graham's strengths are his reading of the play and endurance. He would have been an excellent HBF/winger. Unfortunately, he's going to be forced to play as the 1st/2nd KP defender for the Tigers - not that he isn't capable, he is just more suited to a different type of play.

I have always considered Graham to be a HB flanker or BP player, but over the years the Hawks have suffered a lack of height in key defensive roles, so he has found himself lining up on players like Ablett etc.

I always considered he played those roles well, and always gave all he had for the brown & gold. I can see him playing a few games for the Tigers this season, mainly across half back. As someone said before, he is better value than some of the hacks Richmond delisted. Very true.

I would play him personally as a back flanker, or taking the 3rd tall, but the flank is more his position, disposal is the main worry with him, has tons of courage, and will give it his all, maybe even slot him up forward the odd time.

I know you can't stack a list full of kids, but i would of preferred another kid on the list rather than Campbell.

So you'd have preferred a what, 7th or 8th round draft pick instead of our previous captain?
Just think, this year or in 2006 we can replace him with a 3rd or 4th rounder instead
Sounds like a much better investment to me

 

[Hammerfire]

Point taken Infamy.

Campbell, Graham, and Stafford are all likely to retire at the end of 2005.

Kellaway, Chaffey, Hilton, Morrison, Tuck and Pettifer are all year to year propositions.

 

[rick James]

haha yeah but he's nowhere near as good as either wanganeen or voss!

seriously, this thread has me in hysterics... only a richmond fan could construct something this ******ed

Kellaway and Chaff arent year to year propositions, the other 3 are definately

You get kicked off the main board??

Rightfully so.

This is not a place for main board rejects!!!!!

It looks ******ed to you because its a footy subject and not a plea for attention.

 

[Tambo]
