    I see big Tom Campbell will join North Melbourne to cover the loss of Preuss.

    Good luck to Soupy. I thought he could have been given a few more opportunities with us, especially in last 2 years. Always remember a few afl games early in his time with us when Tom looked reasonably promising as a ruck forward. And when he careered into and broke goal post too. Enjoyed watching his good tapwork and occasional big mark at WO in vfl, where he seemed to be a bit of a mentor for the young ones.

    In one of his first games against Sydney I remember his taking contested marks and nailing 45-50m goals. I thought we might have a player. I think he backed that up a few weeks later with a bunch of goals. Then when Camhead starting dismantling highly fancied rucks and starting get attention in the medi stream presses I thought he might just make it.

    But then last year when Bevo could play him, or put Boyd in the centre square ruck and run to FF, and then have Jong, Dunk's & Bont take the around the ground ruck... Bevo chose that option. His papers were stamped irrespective of his contract length.

    I wish him the very best, but i also doubt he can he reach a height much beyond what we've seen to date. But good for him to get another opportunity and hopefully he takes out (just not against us).

    Good luck to him. Goldy isn’t getting any younger, he may play a fair bit of footy at the Roos.

    He could easily get a good run at it if Goldy cops an injury.

    Would be interesting to see what happens if Goldy is rested or injured. Campbell or Daw?

    You would think that Daw will continue to be developed as a Key Defender.
