With Jones indicating he wants a move to Carlton there is another spot opening up.
Whats the word on this are we going to get Foster and Cordy
Whats happening with Wallis??
In 1992 our defence was Bernard Toohey stopping blokes and Peter Foster marking everything. That was it.
He certainly did. Same day, he also tried to take Glenn Coleman's head off with a round arm after Coleman had marked it. Coleman ducked it and looked stunned at what had happened. He paused in relief and the crowd let out a collective "oooohh". I remember it like yesterday. Paul Hudson played for them. We won and were flying.
Paul Dear was on something that day. He ran around like a thug. Hated him ever since. It was tragic what he did to Fossie. I believe the break became infected and he only managed another handful of games afterwards. Fossie was a great player for us. Late bloomer and I'm keen to get his kid.
I had a look at him IN the TAC Cup GF. Presents well on the lead etc etc, (as you'd expect from the comp's leading goal kicker) but the thing that impressed me most was his work rate. His chasing and tackling and competitiveness once the ball hit the ground was great. (Puts one L Jones to shame!). I was also pleased to see that he isn't just one of those man-child types who's filled out faster than other kids -thus dominating. He's got plenty of filling out to do. I think he'll make something of himself. I really do.
From all accounts his dad is a top bloke, so I imagine he would bring his son up with a good head on his shoulders.
Last I heard was Peter runs a successful cleaning business in the western suburbs.
I don't know why, because I didn't normally do it, but I stood behind the goals at the Barkly St end that day. Opposition supporters didn't think much of Campbell, I can tell you! The things that were said to Campbell stick with me to this day!
He had the slicked back hair and the gloves, was probably a bit underdone fitness wise and carried himself in a way that looked a bit pompous. Seemed to rub opposition the wrong way. He was also pretty central to the "glove phenomenon" at the time - which had the traditionalists howling. I could understand it, because I didn't like him much when he was at Melbourne, but, jeepers creepers, the Hawthorn fans were pretty ordinary towards him! Imagine the WORST POSSIBLE things! I remember thinking "Geez, does he cop this sort of stuff every week?"
He was good on Dunstall that day and was good for us all of that year. In fact, most of our blokes were good. Foster's leg and Wynd's knee cost us a GF berth. I'm sure of that. If Paul Dear were here, I'd give him some of the Campbell treatment!
