Heh Big Feel, how about you give us an overview of your Dogs re. player ins and outs plus your opinion on them and what you expect may pan out in 2015.
Will Roy be able to get the team top three with the talent available; will they play any different etc.

Matty Campbell's retired:

The North Adelaide Football Club regretfully advise all members/supporters that Matthew Campbell has retired from SANFL football.

The Club has worked tirelessly with Matt over the pre-season to maintain his enthusiasm, however he has made his decision.

Matt advised the club on Wednesday that he no longer has the drive and commitment to play at this level. 
Matt has had ongoing groin issues over the pre-season which has limited his training and he requires constant rehabilitation to get his body right for every session.
He is very supportive of the direction that the playing group/club is heading and sees a bright future ahead.

We are extremely disappointed to lose a player of his quality and standing within the group, particularly given the lateness of his decision.
With Matt’s departure, we will endeavour to add some quality to our list prior to the season commencing.

We thank Matt for the excitement and dedication that he has given the North Adelaide Football Club and we wish him and his partner Sam all the very best for the future.

Which grassroots club will snap him up with big $$$ for less commitment?

Gepps Cross, perhaps?

[Bounce of the ball]

Interesting point about he is happy with the direction things are going. Reads like is was a point that required nipping in the bud.

Patrick Giuffreda and Luke Thompson named co-captains for the Eagles this season. Well done to both of them, in particular Giuffreda who gets the best out of himself and is always reliable and consistent win, lose or draw.

The worst kept secret is finally out, don't know what took them so long to announce it most of us knew 6 weeks ago

[Dutchy]

I don;t understand co-captains and never will.

[RB]

Personally, I don't think two co-captains is enough. Why not five? In fact why stop there when you could have seven? One for every line and one for the bench.

Trust me the Eagles need two!
The last 3 years have been poor and onfield leadership has been at the heart of some uninspired efforts from Godden and his senior players!
One thing under Fuller's reign was we never got walked over game after game like has happened in recent years! Fuller takes a lot of credit for that and deserves too!
It's a solid squad this year but must have very strong coaching with active onfield direction every week, not occasionally
These 2 lads are probably the most level headed & focused we could possibly hope for, they will make it work for sure.

And when Fuller left he had lost the respect of all the players members fans supporters oops except for holden

[SANFLnut]

Godden is doing his best to allow history's view of Fuller to be more generous.

Only by outsiders and people like Holden
The rest of us havent forgotten the Fuller years Eagles while they won flags under preformed !!And the man didnt communicate well with the average member or fan !
Godden is more than likely in the hot seat this year just making the finals doesnt fly in 2015 or beyond in my book .

[RB]

And the man didnt communicate well with the average member or fan !

Is Godden any better?
