Who's your Tony Campbell?

Re: Who's your Tony Campbell?

But when he didn't shepherd Granty in the goal square in the 97 prelim against Adelaide that would have tipped us into the grand final because he wanted to kick the winning goal himself. Well that was it for me he was to be forever hated and despised for as long as he kept playing for us and till the day I die.

The single most unforgivable effort in a Bulldog jumper

Ben Harrison.


When I heard we'd signed him I just couldnt believe it.

Agreed. Already had chances at Carlton and Richmond and could not believe we took him on board.


When I look at the list, the Doggies have had a few re-run Tasmanians with mixed success

Paul Hudson
Simon Minton-Connell
James Cook
Ben Harrison
Trent Bartlett
Peter Street

and now we add Justin Sherman.

Here's hoping the Shermanator can be the most successful of them all.

Hi everyone new user so all a bit new to these forums. Didnt mind Paul Hudson while he was at the dogs.always remember game at Waverley against the Swans when we had no chance in the last qtr and I think he kicked 2 or 3 goals including the match winner to seal it.

I have never, nor will I ever, watch that game again but in my minds eye I thought it could just as easily been Grant shepharding Hudson.

Wallace letting Jarman destroy Curley (with Kretiuk available) and not doing anything about Nigel Smart (while the best CHB of our generation was freezing in the goalsquare) was way worse than any one instance of play.

Thought Jose Romero was a soft forward pocket who was frightened of the dark

Romero for me, for those exact reasons too. He didn't start his Bulldog career all that well either, it took a while for him to become the midfield menace he ended up.

Nathan Eagleton ..... To be honest I didn't know much about him when he arrived except the heart condition... I just grew to dislike him.

Wasn't real keen on picking up Street, thought he was a big dud... Gave up an over the odds pick to get him and to make matters worse we hear later that he was going to be delisted anyway... If Smorgo could have 5 minutes back in his time as Bulldog president it would have to be the day he ticked off the appointment of Rohde.

Rhode did the job that needed doing for next to nothing. Carlton paid Pagan $1mil a year to do the same thing!

Welcome newbie.
Tough call on Hudson though as I recall both players eyes fixed on the ball just basically ran into each other. Vividly recall a mate of my brothers getting into hudson one night at the Saloon bar in the mid 90's and Huddo not responding. Got the feeling Paul had heard it before from hawthorn fans and chose not to respond to his sexuality being questioned.
