    Re: Delisting and Retirements - 2021

    I liked Campbell but he was an almost player.

    Would've been decent if he was a better mark, so often two grabbed it when he got his hands to it. If he had managed to fix that he would've been much more effective.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    I'd rather get Will Minson back.

    I just miss Minson flailing his arms like a turtle on its back every time he ended up on top of someone.

    Some people seem to rate Sweet very highly.
    The point is pretty moot though - I don't think we're looking to strengthen our ruck division

    Apparently Sam Power is one of them.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    There’s certainly been questionable list mgt decisions made over the last 3-4 years.

    Campbell could almost be on another list if sainters pick him up.

    Shows how important ruck stocks are and they have some good ones already. I'm comfortable putting more time into Sweet and giving him some fair ample time, I'm not that comfortable having nothing else beyond that.

    He was a very good VFL ruck for us, that's not a backhanded compliment either. He had his issues at AFL level but for Footscray he was brilliant.
