Close enough. Has he really been on the list for 7 years? I'm used to big blokes taking years to mature into a player or just not becoming a player at all but 7 years surprises me.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Sure has, arrived via the 2011 rookie draft. If he squeezes out another year he is heading towards eker royalty.

Absolute eker royalty for sure.

I wonder if Campbell may figure in Essendon plans? From memory he was on their radar before we selected him and they are now very light on in the ruck department.

He's depth with us, still unlikely to be played. He's depth with them, more likely to get a game. Best to them both if they want each other. Zac Clarke would provide us just as much depth, maybe a smidge more. I'm not too faded what Tommy wants to do, I wouldn't stay with us if another club wanted me. That's for certain.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Been pulling long hours for the last 4 weeks and now just getting back up to speed with trading etc.
GVGjr has consistently suggested that we cull list deeper and now it looks like we have too few list spots available.
In contrast, Swans have quite a few players that I thought were borderline top 22 for them.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Have read some well based intel on BF from an Eagles fan that we are really into Clark for pick #7.
Seen some highlights - very good kick. Anyone know anything about him?

We don't need a ruckman. A developing undersized kid will hold it down and a forward, forced to ruck will help. Why would we need a ready made ruck to back them up.
Run Tommy. I'd go somewhere else if I were you.

He would certainly be in the mix but to me he is a good player at a position we have a lot of depth in. I've delved into his kicking skills a bit deeper and I don't think it's an elite skill. It's good enough but I don't rate it as elite.

We should be taking 5 picks minimum IMO. So 2 more cuts?

I think that is about right but if I could squeeze out one more spot I'd do that as well.
For a team that doesn't have a lot of experienced players there are more than enough decent options available that we could add
So we could add 4 youngsters and 1 or 2 players with experience.
