      To a certain extent. But pretty hard to be good as a defender when the ball is coming down so regularly. Grundy and LRT have hardly been brilliant the last few weeks.

      Tough gig being a backman. No glory when things are good and get all the blame when they are bad

        If true about Heath's debut, it's a pretty fair effort.

        A low pick in '08, lost most of the season to injury, and now set to debut.

          Cambo can play, good hands, can take contesteds. Ready? Probably not quite yet, but the alternative is.....????

            IMO maybe against Richmond, et al, not against Dogs ..... also, he is not the incumbent ruckman in the 2s.......that was Pykes Job, and he did a bit of backup work while covering for Jake who is still injured (oh dear) ......NOT the bloke you would want to throw in against seasoned ruckman - yet. He can get rattled. From where they play him in 2s, he is learning a kp and it does not appear to be all about rucking,...

              Is this the pre game banter thread? Want to comment on the fact that it's been sunny all day.

                  Three first year kids blooded and it's only round 9.

                  (Thats gotta be some kind of record for us ?) Not normally Roosy's style, it's good to see though

                    Technically Heath isn't a first year player.

                      Just what I've always supported, unless you desperately need to pick like for like, promote guys to the seniors based on form in the ressies. It makes players understand that if they are best/doing whats asked of them in the ressies then they will get promotion.

                      If Heath turns into a player then t was great strategy at the 08 ND to pick a loosely rated 17yo and salt him away for his final year at school. His physical attributes for a young player are impressive and he can obviously find the ball and does nice things with it too?

                      Very happy we're giving game time to the young players and showing faith in them.

                        Amazing work from Campbell! Knee Reconstruction last year to making his senior debut in round 9 is a great effort.

                            Picky Picky..... Ok, don't have too many problems with Cambo in. Will be interesting to seehow he fairs. He shows good signs, upright sort of mover, big hands....shows up some of the more experienced ressie boys, I keep forgetting this is officially his first year in......

                            Plairfair....plairfair.....plairfair..... I suppose they know what they are doing......surely......

                            White is dropped.....hmm.....nurturing? did something bad? being rapped over the knucles? ......dunno.
