    No point keeping them on the list if you're never going to play them.

    100%. I get the bit about insurance policies - but Campbell was like a car insurance policy that you wouldn't use even if your car got smashed into and written off...you would just say, 'Oh well, I've got another smaller car over here...it might not be perfect but it's good enough for the job I need to do'...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    I have no problem moving on Campbell or Roughead but we should have replaced one or both them during the trade period.
    For many of us here it's not acceptable to use the likes of Bontempelli or Dunkley in ruck contests so I'd rather have a player or two with the bigger bodies who are trained specifically for that.

    If the MC or Bevo think going in with the smaller line-up will work then great but if it doesn't then they need to be accountable for not covering it better.

    We needed an upgrade to Campbell or Roughead though or at least someone capable of playing in a few positions. We've taken a risk that I think exposes the one area that I think we are as strong as any other club and that is that our big bodied mids might have to contest against genuine ruckman.

    From the little I've seen of Sweet so far I'm not sure he can offer much for us in the short term

    Like this analogy.
    I feel sorry for Campbell. Clearly remember his first debut at Ballarat and he had a monster of a game. Made a losing day at a stupidly crowded venue otherwise good.
    I thought he was better than the opportunities he was given.
