Disappointing for Jordan, but I think Campbell's time must be now .
Even taken into account talls take longer, he's been there for 6 seasons .Comment

Suckling set for return
Matthew Suckling has returned to full training after battling an achilles complaint in the second half of last season according to Western Bulldogs Coaching Performance Manager Chris Maple.
Suckling played seventeen matches in his first season at the Kennel and averaged career highs in disposal efficiency (79.5%) and average intercept possessions per game (3.5), while ranking fifth at the Club in average metres gained per contest.
He did not play again after the Semi-Final against the Hawks.
But Maple says Suckling is set to be selected to play in at least one of the two remaining JLT Community Series matches.
“Matty has re-joined the group now, in full training, so he won’t be too far away and hopefully we can see him in the next couple of weeks, Maple told media during the Club’s Australia Post AFL Community Camp visit to Ballarat this week.
“Late in the year he was struggling to get up week to week and obviously missed the Grand Final, but at the moment he is back in full training and, as I said, we should see him in one of the next two JLT’s.”
The 28-year-old Suckling rated above average for a general defender for disposals, uncontested possessions, metres gained and score involvements in 2016 according to Champion Data statistics.FFC: Established 1883

Still no news if Bonti is or not injured. He certainly has been out of the news.Comment

Re: Injury List - Preseason 2017
Hopefully it is alright and at worst he misses the next preseason game. Good opportunity for English to show what he's capable of.THE WESTERN Bulldogs' ruck department, already missing injured premiership big man Jordan Roughead, have taken another hit after back-up ruckman Tom Campbell hurt an ankle at training on Saturday afternoon....
...Campbell's ankle was then strapped with ice and he hobbled into the rooms.
However, teammate Jack Macrae later told reporters it was probably only a minor problem.
"I think he's all right. I think it was just a little roll of the ankle and I think it was just precautionary," Macrae said.Comment

Re: Injury List - Preseason 2017
I think a number of called out the huge risk we had by not recruiting and then drafting someone capable of filling in for Minson in some capacity.
Roughead and Campbell aren't the most durable of players but we clearly don't rate the position.
Hopefully Campbell can bounce back quickly otherwise it Tom Boyd and host of fill ins for Thursdays nights game against the Lions.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment
