Campo was public enemy number one among our assistant coaching staff with the fans when he was here. Most of us were delighted when he was let go. I think we need to be careful not to let "speaks well in the media" and "good coach at AFL level" become conflated.

I'm not convinced of that. If we were fielding our strongest possible side, we might have squeaked out a narrow win. We were basically missing one good player in each position across the ground. Murray down back, Walker up forward, Crouch in the middle, Rankine at half-forward, etc. How sad...

I'm still not even sure what he was asking Fogarty to do. You had a man right on your tail the entire time Ned, and every other time you got within touching distance of the ball you fumbled it. Did you want Fogarty to kick a dart into your opponent's face and knock him out or something?

God, I nearly died of embarrassment in the fourth quarter of the Richmond match when one of the commentators starting talking about how much we'd love to have Rankine, Walker and Thilthorpe back in the side. All while a Richmond side running on fumes, barely able to even field a best 22, just...

That's as close as anyone in Tim's position is going to come to saying "there is at least one individual I am not happy with".

Yeah, it was okay without being a standout. If he ends up playing more inside, that's probably fine - not his role. Mind you, our structure ahead of the ball was diabolical, so it's not like he had much to kick to.

I still think he's fine. Not great, but whatever. 100 miles away from our biggest problem. I think he's the kind of player who contributes well in a functioning team. I'm looking at getting rid of at least half a dozen other players before I'm even thinking about Keays.

That's a shame, Charlton is an important player. As you say, at least it opens the door for one of our young mids to get a game in there.

Didn't look rushed, got to the right spots (when he was played anywhere near the ball), used the ball pretty well. He belongs.

Our list isn't good enough to win a premiership, certainly. However, it's a hell of a lot better than the garbage we're putting on the park at the moment.

Honestly, I would have been annoyed if we pinched that. Unacceptable football that wouldn't beat a single side in the comp other than North Melbourne. Even West Coast would have beaten us tonight. Dowling looked good when he was actually put anywhere near the ball. Three players with their...

He even kind of looks like Jordan Peterson there!

Haha, sure, why not. Sounds like just something fun to break up the monotony, rather than anything meaningful.
