Cousins - Not better than Stanton as not playing
Coughlan - the same

Buckley - the same

And Stanton is better than these blokes on current form:

N Lappin
P Haselby
Akermanis
M Murphy
M Lappin
A Embley (biggest seagull to ever pull on a jumper!!)
S Burns

Better find another dozen mate.
You picked holes in a list of 40? I'm shocked!

Please don't make me find another 12, 40 was difficult enough...... I am happy with my 28... :)

The point being is that a lot of people are seriously undervaluing Stants at the moment.

Fair point you make. I mean, where was Judd for the majority of their game at the Cattery? From what I heard (only listened towards the end of the match), it wasn't until then he actually started doing something.

Having said that, I guess it's a trait of the good teams. They "protect" their match winners, their A-class players. I mean, it would be pretty biased to say when Sir James was at his absolute, match-winning best (not saying he's lost anything) he looked better because he had the backing of teammates who knew "he's got the ball, let's give him space, he'll do something good with it."

Credit where credit's due, Judd is a good player, you have to be good to win the Brownlow. (Except maybe if you're Nathan Buckley and Eddie McGuire buys it for you. :P)

As good a player as he is it is made alot easier being so far away from an opponent.

f*** him off. Now. f****** lazy bludger who is heinously slow. Stands 4 metres away from a player who's taken a mark yelling "kick it to me, kick it to me!" when he's in a worse position. Runs behind players to get the cheap, meaningless possession. Gives donuts.

So far past it that's it's not even mildly amusing.

So do I he nearly lost us the game with his indecision but was just lucky that 3 tigers players all tripped over themselves trying to tackle him.

I can not work out why he is in the team when we have plenty of kids waiting in the wings??

What you probably can't see on TV is what i've described.

Half a dozen or more times tonight after one of our blokes had taken a mark, Campo would stand no more than 15 metres to the side (or even slightly behind the player) screaming for the ball. Thankfully he was ignored most times.

What the f***?! Why don't you run to position you f****** lazy bludger? How dare you even ask for the ball!

He gave new meaning to the word 'useless'.

Ok thanks for pointing that out.

That's when we start getting stagnant and we chip around and lose possession... and hand them an easy goal.

Perhaps next week Hislop should play instead of Campo?

I actually reckon Campo is the smartest player in football at the moment.

He is getting $100k per effective disposal.
He kicks on the left
He kicks on the riiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttt

Gee, what's the big surprise? That's how he's played his whole career!

While he was OK last week, he looked incredibly slow tonight. Not up to it anymore.

Agree 100%. P*ss him back off to Carlton. At one stage at the start of the last qtr he tried to go the heavy with one of the young Richmond guys. Yeah right, what a he-man. Only problem was, as soon as the ball went down that end the RFC bloke just cruised away from Camp-Oh! and got an easy possession that ended up in Rich-Oh's arms.

Where are those people who said when he first turned up at the club that they could npt wait to see him put it on the chest of Lloyd 5 or 6 times a game?

He hasn't played that much with Lloyd given Lloyd's injury last year, but his disposal has been shithouse and he has not had possessions near the 50 enough to do it anyway.
