Tom Campbell

[HBTD22]

Whos gonna give this guy another run this round? I've had him since the start of the year after his strong pre season and I reckon I'll chuck him out there again this round to see how he goes playing up forward.

[Screech]

is he going to playing every week? or is cordy likely to come back in between now and the end of the season

[Andrew]

Waiting another week on this, but 95% likely to do it next week anyway. No one else to downgrade Stephenson or Redden to.

bought him in anyways
it's not like my 4th ruck is going to be playing

if he gets a couple more games, and gets a price rise... all well and good, but a cheap downgrade of someone who won't make the team

[Ricochet]

got him in last week and considering playing him over Giles this week

Yeah I'm thinking I will. A nice 70 on debut looks very good.

Thinking of downgrading Pyke to him.  Would leave me with $188k in the bank (I've also gone Clarke to Suckling this week).  None of my other rookies are ripe, plus there's not many downgrade targets right now.  The money I will pocket will go towards turning Darley into Carrazzo and then hopefully Giles into Maric at some stage if possible.

EDIT:  It actually leaves me with $232k.  I was thinking of Stephenson when I said $188k.  Even better!

Given that Campbell booted 3.3 as a key forward in the NAB Cup he could score well as a key forward/chop out ruckman.

By all reports he has been chopping up in the 2's - Dogs were just waiting for an chance to upgrade him.

Also given how bad Roughead, Cordy and Jones have been at trying to play the key forward role if Campbell shows promise he could easily get the gig.

I think I might play him this week and hope that Maric drops within my price range with a poor score.

+1 - Plus some handy cover if all goes to Sh*t with injuries to my main rucks. His JS seems better than Redden and Big O

[Tominator]

don't be surprised if Campbell keeps his spot over Jones or Roughhead - he kicked 4 goals in a NAB Cup game and the other two have been pretty ordinary of late.

But even if that doesn't happen it won't really matter because you won't be upgrading him (as you won't need to use your R4) but the cash generated from e.g. Stephenson --> Campbell will be very handy for the run home
