Congrats Tom Campbell

Onto his third AFL club, he did also have the Bendigo/Essendon VFL stint before arriving at the dogs

Yes, has received coverage in another thread, but needs to be acknowledged here also!

Where would BTC sit as an eker if he managed to land a spot at another club after a single year stint at the Saints? Averaging 5.5 games a season and starting next year as his eleventh on a list across three clubs is magnificent eker territory as it is, another club with not many games contributed between now and then could really do a lot for his profile in these parts.

I think being an ‘ultimate utility’ certainly helps if you want to be an eker.

Tom Campbell making his debut with the Saints tomorrow. His 55th game for his third club since being drafted in 2012. An average of 6 per season.

We joke but he would be best 22 with us right now.

Got a soft spot for Big Soup. Wish we had him right now. Good luck Tom.

So would Minson. Actually so would Ed Barlow as 2nd ruck relief/time trial spoiler for Crossy, but I may be biased in that assessment as I was the last person left standing on the Ed Barlow bandwagon (even Ed jumped off before I did).

I’d play Nic Bruton before Ed Barlow.

I’d play Nic Bruton before Ed Barlow.

I'd ruck Cam Faulkner before either of those two.

As long as he never stands the mark.

I'll be the first to admit the Ed Barlow bandwagon was never a big one.

Come on Sedat, that didn't happen.

Ed couldn't jump.

Ed couldn't jump.

But he could run, which forever rates him ahead of Nic Bruton.

Tom Campbell is either re-signed, or expected to re-sign, with St Kilda.

Stat from Useless AFL Stats:
Blicavs v Campbell. Mark Blicavs (Geelong) and Tom Campbell (W Bull/Nth M/St Kilda) are both 31 this year and have both taken the field in 10 seasons of AFL.
For players with 10+ seasons Mark Blicavs has the highest average games per season of an AFL player at 22.7 per season whilst Campbell has the lowest at 5.6 per season.
For Blicavs to ensure top spot next season he will need to play a minimum 18 games whilst Campbell will need to play a maximum 10 to retain last. There nearest challengers are Jake Lloyd (200 games/9 seasons) and Andrew Phillips (62 games/10 seasons)
