Tom Campbell

[jayceebee31 683]

Tom played ruck and forward for Bulldogs VFL this year, knows Hannan real well. Had over 70 hit outs one game followed by 60 next game with 6 contested marks. Kicks like a mule - these new rule changes will suit him down to the ground. Had several injuries but fully on top of them now. Looks like being delisted - great pick up in my opinion. Have recommended him to recruitment. Known to Chris Connolly.

To me a great pick up if can pass medical. Better than Preuss in my opinion. More experienced, better ruckman whom can go forward and kick goals.

Too late, preuss is in now, don't need him.

Very happy as another back up to awn & Preuss for next season and a solid optino for our VFL team.

I think we will rookie another experienced ruck and he could be the one.

If Max or Preuss go down, there is no back up, as Bradtke will be too immature.

[TRIGON 4,719]

Having let go of two ruckman, the inclusion of Preuss and one other restores the balance. Bradtke can then be developed without undue haste.

Thanks for the post Tom. Welcome to Demonland. 

We should be having a good look through the state and local leagues/delisted players for a young 198cm+ forward with ruck stop gap potential or a ruck with upside. 21-24 year old range. Someone like when the Bombers added Shaun McKernan. Or really just a younger, taller, more agile Cam Pedersen.

Adding a player of Campbell's age would just clog up the list and Casey.

"bulldogs wants to join us" 

The thread titles around here need to lift. 

Seriously.

I'd have him as a rookie.  Nothing more.

If Max goes down, and Pruess goes down, and the rookie goes down, then we wont have a ruck. Best recruit a backup for the backup for the backup, and grab an extra backup just in case. Basically we need 8-10 fully functioning rucks on our list.

No, waste of a list and rookie spot. 

Rather give a promising under 23yo ruck/forward a go. 

Plus you mentioned Chris Connolly. Yuck.

Only if we can change his nickname to Chunky Soup.

thanks for the change in thread title - was it originally Tom's mum that wrote it?

That’s the problem, we have gone for kids and they have failed...need mature bodies for this role.

We did. Austin Bradtke. 

[Tough Kent 2,049]

The Dogs though enough of this bloke at one time to name him captain in pre-season games. How the mighty have fallen.

We had Flip and King at the same time. Not a crime to get two kids at the same time again
