        Monstered Sweety but I'm bewildered by North's use of Campbell as the extra in defence. Obviously you want to win but plonking him down there surely does nothing for the development of their younger defenders which for a side like North is surely what it's all about. He had a field day just standing on his own and we obliged by kicking it to him with reckless abandon.

        As an aside, coaches who use an extra are cowards, imo.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          You’re right but they fully don’t actually have anyone in their seconds. Its a consequence of sacking 15 players and running into some injuries.

            Campbell is one of the best blokes in football and is the guy who is most proactive in welcoming the kids into the North fold, he really helps their development.
            I'd be happy to offer him a one year deal if Martin is completely broken. There aren't many other rucks around

                Sucked in Brian Lake, your tenure at Hawthorn was clearly an abject failure!

                          He's played some decent football as well. I might be in the minority but I do wish him some luck going forward.

                            I think the majority wish him luck, while also acknowledging that this is not the least bit surprising.

                                Very much the body like Tom Williams. Just not made to play afel footy. When it’s all said and done, I think we did well to get a good price for him. Worth the fresh start for him and worth a shot for Brisbane as I assume they thought their medicos could turn his health around.
