Comparing Clangbell and Harley Reid is a fair stretch

Why?

You said Campbell is at times a lair and selfish and he's getting criticised for it

Harley Reid is too. Probably more often that Campbell.

But clearly that's OK because Reid is a former number 1 pick and if he keeps his ego in check a future superstar of the comp.

So big names can be selfish and a lair but others can't?

No not at all.
I think it’s a stretch because Harley Reid is far less selfish. He’s far tougher and team oriented.

Just my opinion

I dunno about that damo. Fair work for Harley to do there too.

Has been noticeably not tracking back and jogging around at times this season. Again I think him not wanting to be there is playing a big factor in how we is playing ATM although if rumours of him re-signing there are true then there’s no excuse.

Fair call TK
I’m more meaning when ball in hand and clear open options, but choosing to banana under pressure , where there is far more “team orientated” options available.

I think he should be playing. I think he’s best 22.

But I don’t like the way he goes about it at all.

“There is no I in team, but there is me”

A saying I think fits with him

Campbell hype reminds me of the Pettifer hype of 2006. :shh

Fair enough

I've watched Ried closely this season seeing he may ( a very long shot IMHO) end up at Richmond

I call him selfish because of his refusal to chase, refusal to the put in 2nd efforts, the dropping of his bottom lip when things do go his way. I could go on. To me at least they are selfish attributes, where a player puts himself ahead of his team.

Just my take

Wouldn't put him near the P Train yet.

Train kicked 30+ 3 years in a row. Similar defensive efforts ans intensity tho.. :shh

Good in and outs in my view. Sadly Smith is struggling at the level and Simms needs a rest. Blight coming in for Smith highlights that we are very much lacking a tough small Defender. This is the position where we should target a fringe role player. It does make me wonder why we resigned Trezise? Isn't he a small defender?

He's been playing as a winger all year

Named at Half Back in the VFL today WP where he should be. That wing experiment is hopefully over. We desperately lacking a close checking small or medium defender. Sadly one of Adelaide's small forwards will absolutely get a hold of us tomorrow. That should be Triggers role until another option comes along. I still think Mansell down back is the answer.

Smith's a stuffing dud & Mansell isn't the answer to anything.  :shh
