Jong has been in pretty good form.

If we don't have another long term injury, it will have to be Austin again though. Williams is only 4-5 weeks away from playing.

I'm a massive fan of Jongs, just his athleticism that will be very hard to match when he gets a bit better; but I have watched him a few times at Willy. His kicking was clanger-fest on those particular days.

That's my expectation too.

Does that mean if we elevate Campbell that Austin cannot play when Williams returns? I would favour waiting a while until Campbell knocks the door down and displaces both Cordy and Roughead as no.2 fwd / rucks.

His form at VFL level is good, but is he ahead of Minson, Roughead and Cordy?

I'm disputing the fact that his form is that good.
Certainly not in the best in the last 2 Williamstown game. In the bests in some others but no BOGs.
I've never seen someone get so much mileage from 1 practice match.

I don't think it's totally based in one practice game but hes put together some good games. I wonder if he has the mobility to switch between ruck and forward roles in the AFL but it's still early days for him.

Campbell was awarded with 44 hitouts a few weeks ago so I think his form is a bit better than 1 praccy game as you say.
Minson gave him huge wraps pre season and was sure he would play senior footy. If you can recall Minson was saying how he was kicking goals from 50 metres off one step in match simulation.
I found this interesting as he plays the same position as Will.

I have seen Campbell a number of times this year and while he has racked up some impressive numbers of hit outs he isn't giving his midfield a lot of good taps.
He still has a lot of work to do.

When do you think Panos will get a game in the senior side. How do you think his season for Williamstown has gone so far.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

I'm a pretty big fan of Campbell but Chops, he doesn't have to be the messiah to warrant a spot on a senior list. There are 40 available, Mulligan even has one!

I agree with GVG's call that he wastes a lot of his hitouts but when you are getting that many, you are at the very least neutralising your opponent.

I think he is dangerous up forward in a contested/clunking mark kind of a way but unless he can improve his motor he won't be more than a pinch hitter there as he can be easily exploited. Still can definitely take his turn up forward just probably won't suit partnering Will.

I hope he makes it but pre season he was the messiah.

Yeah but that's how your average punter thinks. Big guy takes a few grabs and kicks a couple of goals= messiah. I don't think those dellusions should be held against Campbell.

I'm really glad we have him on our rookie list and I believe if we don't elevate him, someone will take him.

We can always rookie him again. Do we really need another developing tall?

Rocco, I think the humility chip has come loose in its socket again.

Haha but I don't mean it in a deriding way and I don't mean it in an average WOOF poster way. Most of here put too much time in analysing footy. Most fans don't put that time in and when an eye catching performance comes along it holds more comparative weight.

**Sockeye Salmon** · 28-05-2012, 10:13 PM

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

A few are wanting him in as a forward. He has the grand total of 3 goals to his name this year.

I'd certainly elevate him but his senior prospects might not be too good. If I was him I'd be asking my manager to see if anyone else was interested where I might get a senior go.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

I'd bring Howard back in. Use him as the sub if need be.

Pearce and Skinner to make way. I suspect Addison will return.

Vesz might be in some trouble -- his fitness (or lack of) is really noticeable.

Other than that, not sure what else we'll do. Cordy stiff to miss.

IN: Addison, Howard, Grant
OUT: Pearce, Skinner, Veszpremi
