With that last quarter performance, and with full game time im assuming, its hard to see how he cant run out a game at this point. But yea same, im no expert.From my perspective, Xerri's capacity to run out an AFL game must be the only explanation - I haven't actually seen him gassed at VFL level, but presumably the fitness people know better
He had a pretty interrupted pre season with a groin, I'd imagine the idea is once he has the done the work, he will come in and stay in. Another game getting some genuine rucking in the scoobs will be good for himWith that last quarter performance, and with full game time im assuming, its hard to see how he cant run out a game at this point.

can't say I know, but there has to be some sort of explanation, and fitness has to be the leading candidate given his good formFitness people aren't related to the medical people by any chance Merle ?
Bull crap he did. Campbell was atrocious.
He could have just said he was good for structure and we are looking to strengthen that this week with Xerri.I'm not arguing, because I want xerri in as much as anyone, but I think Noble's point is a structural one - Campbell's presence gave us two calls in attack, with a net benefit of 5 goals (3 to lackey, 2 to Goldy). Noble made it pretty clear in his overall remarks he'd sooner Larkey wasn't rucking, and if they're still working on Xerri, then Campbell's the only option - Noble can't both pick Campbell for structural reasons, and then pan his contribution
I wouldn't know about the physicality part and his maturity has very little value considering his past performances have been overwhelmingly poor at AFL level. Xerri is not exactly Tim English levels of twig and has built his game around physicality. Not much point Tom getting an extra 5-10 taps a game over having a better forward and marking option in Xerri.Pretty obvious the TC over Xerri decision. We need maturity & physicality around the football. We also want Goldy to play 50% of the time forward IMO. Xerri is a better forward, but TC would be the better physical ruckman at this stage.
I want to play the kids as much as anyone, but if this means Larkey doesn't have to go near a ruck contest & the kids get some physical support in the middle, then it's a yes from me.
Another tall, even as inept as Campbell is certainly required. But given Xerri is fit and in reasonable form, it's puzzling why he doesn't get the nod. Can't do much worse than Campbell.How the hell does Campbell get another game after that putrid performance? Get him out and pump games into Xerri right now!!

A fair point. At the very least the coach is vocally recognising him as being in good form though, but that doesn't exactly compare to playing seniors.And at what stage does Xerri say " bugger this " and take the money on offer from G.C. G.W.S. or St. Kilda.

Seems like we aren't really thinking of winning the game. I know we are not much chance, but should still be drilling to the players that winning is what we play footy for. That may be part of the reason we lost last week, despite having the momentum going into the last quarter. There is no absolute desperation from the coaches to win it seems.
I think anything Campbell can do, Xerri can do better. Otherwise we may as well play Tyson over Powell or Phillips FFSPretty obvious the TC over Xerri decision.

He missed all of pre season calm your ****I think anything Campbell can do, Xerri can do better. Otherwise we may as well play Tyson over Powell or Phillips FFS
Should play when we have no other talls and larkey would have to ruck. Which is what happenedWe aren't still playing Campbell instead of Xerri are we?
Big Tom tries his very best but FMD.
Should only play if Goldstein is injured......that's it.
