At the end of 2004 Cam was a shining light.
I take great heart from the fact that Cam no longer seems good enough for us.
Cam the man was not on the list in 2004.
He is apparently good enough for us, hence he was drafted. Why not take a punt on a highly rated young bloke who got cut like Freo's Dunn instead of a older proven hack?
Strange pick up.
Must have been the end of 2005 then, but I'm not sure that changes my point which is that Cam is now well and truly on the fringe of the team.
I refuse to look negatively at the situation. The football staff had plenty of time to assess the people we had training with us.
I too do not see the long term value in Howat, but I do not begrudge him his spot and I won't call him a hack because I know he will be down at the club training his guts out for the whole of 2008.
Evidence suggests our football staff may disagree with your assessment of Dunn.
