Is it a stretch to say that Campbell is possibly our 2nd preference for a backup ruck (behind say Clarke?) and we'll go to the draft hoping to get our first preference, but if they're gone, settle for Campbell? Too much reading into it?

There hasn't been media speculation with Campbell, has there? Just because us, as fans, want him to be our back up ruck doesn't necessarily mean he's on the clubs radar.
We've also said we'd be happy with a ruck at 34. Which would suggest Campbell isn't our target.You're right but we have indicated that we want a ruck.
I suspect Mason will play quite a few games as our 23rd player next year.Mason falls on his sword so we get the ruck rookie? Hopefully the club gives him some gig ... or ask Dusty to pick up the pocket money rate.
Is he taller than 188cm?Really hope we poach Kyron Hayden from Norf. Incredibly powerful inside bull, just needs to improve his running (which will come with continuity in his football).
I loved Hayden last year. I'd have a look for sure. Big bodied kid who has over come injuries this year.Really hope we poach Kyron Hayden from Norf. Incredibly powerful inside bull, just needs to improve his running (which will come with continuity in his football).
Why are they getting rid of him?
Maybe thinking they need more points.Why are they getting rid of him?
Kyron - he's from Toorak yeah?Really hope we poach Kyron Hayden from Norf. Incredibly powerful inside bull, just needs to improve his running (which will come with continuity in his football).
WAKyron - he's from Toorak yeah?
I was being a smartarse sorry, with a name like Kyron I would be surprised if he’s from Toorak.
Eh. Campbell a better forward but Clarke better around the ground to Campbell. Back up ruck is back up.Zac Clarke close to signing apparently, what’s everyone’s thoughts? I haven’t seen enough of him to have an opinion

Unless it's DFA for life now I don't think so.Can we sign Clarke?
I didn't think he was afl listed.
Clarke might well beat out Hickey but Natinui will be back next year towards the back end of the season and Vardy provides more up forward.If I'm Clarke I'd sooner back myself to beat Hickey out for the #1 spot at West Coast next year and still play WAFL football as a ruckman rather than move to Vic and be a clear cut #2 to Bellchambers and probably play mostly forward whilst we try to develop Draper in the ruck.
If he beats out Hickey he has the opportunity to move himself ahead of Vardy. If he beats out Hickey he's the clearcut #2 behind Nic Nat with dicky knees.Clarke might well beat out Hickey but Natinui will be back next year towards the back end of the season and Vardy provides more up forward.
At 28 and formerly delisted, Clarke hasn't got the luxury to wait a couple years or next year to try break in to a team.
Regardless, if he is drafted then he hasnt got a choice i suppose.
