    When Campbell was dominating at Footscray last season it was in tandem with Ayce Cordy. I would have liked to have seen the two of them have a couple of AFL games last year because together made a team that was much better and more effective than the sum of its individual parts.

    But it looks like Camdy has morphed into Camhead and is finding its way in the top level a lot better than either Campbell or Roughead were individually.

    Viva Camhead!
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Flicked through the Hun while getting a coffee. Camhead starting to get a lot of media attention now.

    I am really impressed with how Tom & Jordan are going. As has said they are getting some recognition now from the media too. To beat Goldstein, Gawn and the 2 rucks from West Coast is a fantastic effort. They are becoming a real weapon for us.

    Do you think there is room for Boyd in the current set up?
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I told them to use them one where I'm smiling. Amatuer hour from The Hun.

    The issue is that if we don't mark the ball, it'll come out twice as fast. West Coast's talls were poor yesterday and got carved up on rebound, we should have won by 5-6 goals. At times we struggle to apply pressure with two tall targets up forward, I think adding a third tall would be too much.

    Campbell is the clear #1 choice and from there two of Redpath, Roughead and Boyd are needed. To Roughy's credit, the few quiet games he's had have been followed up a strong performance. Boyd will need to push them out to get back in.

    Possibly, with some creativity. Boyd & Redders can play forward. Yesterday showed that. Roughies contested marking yesterday was great and if he can play as a high half forward when resting then that might work. An extra big man with good hands for targets of kick outs and target for long down the line wing/HF kicks could be really good (Roughy is not much deep forward, so it's the above or resting in defence). Particularly when JJ, Suckling and other rebounding are running past him that could work maybe with Boyd, Redders & Stringer as tall and leading targets. It feels a bit top heavy, but let's it for a few weeks at least is my thinking.
