I had a look at the Saintsational voting for the games so far.
Tom had the second most votes in the Collingwood game-45 under their system
Nothing against Melbourne
and only a handful against GWS to this stage, but they haven't finished voting yet.

But that first game gained him enough that he's probably in the top 4-5 at the moment on their voting.
Hall, Sinclair and Wilkie are ahead of him, Windhager and NWM around the same

Pitto in 3rd says something.

I wonder if TDK is 3rd in the saints count at this stage?
Or even in the top 10!

 :-[  :D
He probably will be, will get a pass because the rest of the team is more why they lost than him.   Gawn did play better than him, but he put in a shift at least, just not one worth 1.8 million worth.

Yep
Ben would have played.
Most VFL watchers had him as 'next in line' before he got suspended.
The first half of this season is pretty important for both the Camporeale boys.
I saw a couple of clips through the off season of "Who is looking good at training as judged by the players" and both the brothers got a mention or two.
They are different. Ben is more a 'coalface' player.
Hopefully they can push for selection but the issue they have is that their postitions are mostly the ones where we have the greater depth.
Both look better suited to Port Adelaide imo...Port need a new Travis Boak(Ben) and have been struggling for wingers having to import Wehr from GWS. Butters for both Campos sounds fair... :o  ;D

Miles Bergman is a player I would be keen on.

I'd probably take that... :D  ;D
Whether I'll feel the same at the end of the year....well we'll see. :-\

Ben gave me the impression late in then year that he was best as a clearance type player, not as a winger like his brother and old man.

The old man left as  he had had enough of the coach.

Didn't stop him pissing off for more bucks when the going got tough, and gave his share of drive bys on the way out the door.
Neither of the kids are great kicks and probably lack the toe to play on a wing....kind of in line with all our other wing options- none are good kicks.
