Past #42: Tom Campbell - delisted end '21 - 12 NM games / 7 NM goals - 2019 NM VFL John Law Medallist - thanks Soup

[King Corey]

Can this guy play forward / clunk marks & kick goals?

Yeh he's a strong mark-

 

[year of the roo]

I though it was a decent interview mate, what raised your ire?

Probably hasn't had a shag in ages.

 

[Groin guru]

Yeh he's a strong mark-

Reminds me of Shaun McKernan tbh. Can kick a few, so-so ruckman. A lot of injuries. Can clunk. Let's hope that the times he is required (hopefully zero) he pulls a McKernan for us.

Piss off back to your 5:30am Pietersen marathon and stop polluting a football thread with your quasi-superior, heavily triggered masterbutory whinging

He's a twat too.

 

[shinboner magic]

Has he been given a number yet?

Doesn’t need one as he won’t play

Yeah but can’t kick for goal

 

[see see]

Seems like a better player than some think although that's only based on his games against us.

On the basis of this reasoning, Hayden Skipworth and Sam Kerridge are two of the greatest footballers ever to pull on a boot.

Don’t forget the likes of Ryan Nyhius and Jared Petrenko, oh and what about Shane Kersten.

Recruited to bolster the Roos’ ruckstocks at the end of 2018, Campbell wasted no time showing his intentions, with the big man filling the hole in defence, and taking strong intercept marks.

His ruck work was also a highlight, giving first use to his fellow on-ballers on multiple occasions.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Seems like he got a real good wrap today in the match sim. I think we've got a decent ruck on our hands.

 

[Heaps of fun]

One thing to consider is that we are a shitload better at developing rucks than Western. He's three years younger than Goldstein so if we get him up to standard he'll be a perfect cover as we transition the talented Xerri into the main role.

[Gotta_Bea_Hero]

Good luck to him. It's guys like him that work their arses off, and when given a second chance - blossom. It's the 'Mark Roberts effect', fingers crossed he falls into this category.

 

[Snake_Baker]

What's he on, a 1 year contract?

Needs to show something this year.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Can we update his thread title? He’s got #42.

Done.

Has he ever played as a key defender? Might be a quirky option if Tarrant is unavailable against Freo. Would also help give Goldy a chop out against Sandilands.

I think he'd be too slow.

Love to know if we're thinking he could play forward to any extent.

Yep I’m thinking the same thing. Massive unit.

"heavily triggered" says the guy who's triggered

 

[Billy Not Really]

Thought he did well today, seems to thrive on keeping up with Goldy. Had a very nice shot on goal as well via a massive kick, got some real power.

He obviously can't be as good as Goldy is, but he's a very serviceable backup.

Said it during the trade period, thats all he needs to be.

Be fit

[The Filth Wizard]

That goal was quite nice. Wind behind him but a beautiful kick.
