I wonder what Ernie thinks of him now?

I'm not sure Crameri, Grant & Stringer are competing with Campbell for a spot (Jones is a seperate category).
One of Campbell/Cordy (Campbell ahead so far)
Grant is quick enough to avoid making us "top heavy" (not really a term I like anyway).
Jones is in.
Crameri is best 22.
The final 2 spots of so (assuming midfield rotations) based on fitness will be from Gia (sub specialist), Hunter (also some success as the sub), Dickson, Smith (when fit), and one or more resting mids.
Have excluded Higgins & Williams.

I totally agree with that and I think it's something that gets overlooked. Not only did he provide us a credible marking target, he directed the ball to smaller player when he couldn't mark, and if he couldn't impact the contest he made it a point to make heavy body contact with the opposition player in the prime position. All of that made our structure a lot more predictable to our mids and small forwards.
If I recall correctly he anointed him the next John Coleman. While I'm not sure he'll quite get to that level, he could develop into a very very important player.

Agree with the above but fitness levels permitting I would see it as:
One of Campbell/Cordy (Campbell way ahead so far)
Grant is quick enough to avoid making us "top heavy" (not really a term I like anyway)/Jones fights for this spot pending Grants continuation of form
Crameri is best 22.
Stringer is in as much as fitness allows/Jones also fights for this spot
The final 2 spots of so (assuming midfield rotations) based on fitness will be from Gia (sub specialist), Hunter (also some success as the sub), Dickson, Smith (when fit), and one or more resting mids.
Was impressed with him last year.
Took front spot and given his size most of the time he either held the mark or was given a free kick.
I like the fact that he competes and attacks the ball with both arms. Cordy is like an old slot machine and Jones runs under it too much. Sauce is a big unit and plays like he knows it.
Big guys always take time,and Tom's going to epitomise this.
Clunks a good grab and is mobile at ground level.
Deserved his chance and didn't disappoint
Bump. Do you guys see Tom as someone who can alternate between ruck and forward.
