Why can't Jones be more like a Brad Pearce type player, lead away from the main forward, Bolt or Hendo? Seems logical?

Sorry CIMM but Campo was not a downhill skier, star player mate, perhaps not in 1995 though which was his first year? the rest I agree with to a certain extent. Clape got ditched from the Eagles anyway. Manton was below average.

Campo developed into a weapon, at his peak was one was of the top five mids in the comp. Pin point delivery and never took a back ward step. Abit harsh on Manton I reckon carrots, went on to hold his own at FB when SOS retired. Dunno about below average IMO.

One my fave aspects of Campo's game was his hunger to hunt and chase down the ball carrier. I remember one game against Richmond in 2000 round 22 where they were playing finals and he did it to them twice, both times then swooping on the loose ball and kicking the goal. At his best he was awesome.

@BP

Pearce was a star footballer mate. Five goals in a prelim and then a GF plus a lethal left foot. He too was unstoppable at his best. Injury ruined him.

That 1995 team was chock full of talent. Carlton was a strong team in 1995, and had many people putting in sterling performances for at least that season, if not the 2 prior. If not for a shock loss in 1994, and the heartbreak against the baby bombers in 1993, that would (and possibly should) have been a 3 peat.

I reckon that side is being under rated a bit, but thats my opinion.
