Title: Campbell coming back...
Post by: Francois Jackson on October 10, 2008, 09:12:30 AM
Just heard KB briefly mention WC is coming back.

IMO he has done a great job at the buldogs and anything is got to be better than the idiot Rawlings and King

Hopefully he does a good job, is the best person for the position and not just a token former player

Apparently TW said he will be our midfield coach, replacing Royal who will now be our forward coach.

Good pick up IMO.

There is a case against bringing people back to the club jsut because they were Tigers, but when they've done a good job somewhere else being a Tiger is all the more reason to bring them home.

It will be great having a true champion of the club back at home again.
He will be incharge of the midfeild as it has been reported.
I feel things are about to turn for us and all in the right direction.  :gotigers

Many people have differing opinions on Campbell as a player and person but no-one yet has bagged him for coming back as a coach.  They might but no-one has thus far, yet you chose to make a confrontational statement without any provocation and claim it is others creating the angst.  Chill out, life's too precious.

Campbell looking after the midfield, Brian Royal the forward line and David King retaining the backline while Jade Rawlings (Coburg coach) and Craig McCrae will look after player development.
At least now we haven't got people wearing two hats.

Good to have Cambo back.

I try to apply logic and reason to my posts and I have never ever done this on any topic before. But in this case I feel I just have to.

YOU ARE A KNOB Daniel161.

Now thats out of the way, as far As Campbell comming back I will (as always) give the guy a chance to prove himself as a coach at the RFC. I have no way to judge if he did a good job before at the Dogs so i will give him time. Personlly I was not a great fan of "Kick it to me" Campbell as a player but that is not bagging him as a coach. I dont think midfield was where we were beaten last year so its going to be hard to judge if he has made a difference to the style. I will however throw up if I see the likes of cotch and lids hanging out behind the player with the ball to get backward handball.

they were bagging Campbo under the premise he was taking over as head coach,something
that would still create a massive argument.

There's a fat chance of that happening from me  :rollin
I won't be changing my tune.
I disliked Cambo last week, nothing's changed this week
Never liked him as a player, person, so I'm pretty sure I'll think he sucks as a coach as well
Gonna have to get the score on the board before he gets praise from me.
And yes, I'm biased, but stiff.

Hopefully he makes a positive impact, personally I cant see how 1 assistant coach is going to change much at Richmond.

One probably can't but collectively they can make or break.  There are so many intangibles that can only be judged in hindsight - the best you can do beforehand is run all the risk management procedures you have and trust them.  At least we are continually evolving as a football department - there has been a change of personnel in most TW years and that's a good thing.  One benefit of our young list is that very few of them have played with Campbell - I rate the 'mate' factor as crucial in a coaching environment ie.  I think it is counter-productive.  I have no idea (and not much of an opinion) of whether he will make a difference but I do trust the people in change to make these decisions for the right reasons with the right information.  I can't begin to understand or tolerate those (and you aren't one Ramps) with an immediate negative attitude to every single act that the club does - if we lose faith in the club then we lose the club itself.

My concerns with the club at the moment dont have anything to do with coaching appointments, rather Im concerned by other questions.

Are we still a big club?

How does our performance in trading and drafting match up with developing clubs like Carlton (who I consider to be a big club)?

Are we capable of matching Carlton and Hawthorn?

There are some things that are nagging at me at the moment in terms of how I perceive our club, and Im a bit concerned that we have trailed off a little bit. Even in the bad old days of the 90s till early 2000s when we were crap, we were still a big club, we would still be chasing big names.

Theres something thats not quite right at the moment, Richmond needs a bit of excitement, something to get the masses clammering to get to games.

Anyway back to the topic, Campbell has developed a good reputation as an assistant at the dogs, hopefully he can assist us.

You'd be surprised what abit of success does Ramps. It's been 28 years and counting as we all know. All it takes is a few astute selections in today's environment.
However I do agree with you in terms of parrallels with other clubs we are well behind in terms of the Pies Dons and Blues and unfortunantely the Hawks have well and truly passed us and possibly the rest of the aforementioned clubs. We may no longer be a big 4 club but a big 5 club sad but true. For us to make outlandish statements like 50000 members as the Hawks have we need at least a couple of flags with the list young enough to possibly deliver a few more. Then after that dynasty has gone we may be able to entice a big fish at the club.
In the last 15 years we almost got Lockett and Judd and missed out on both that unfortunantely suggests where we are perceived as a club unfortunantely from a generation of kids who have grown up knowing that RFC has been a loser club where turmoil and mediocrity go hand in hand.
Hopefully the Campbell appointment is b/c he was the best person available and not just a Richmond person who hapenned to play with Tony Free. Despite my reservations I wish him the best of luck and hope the good job he seemed to do at the Dogs is followed up at us.

I must have been asleep for the club trying to attract Judd in the last month.  ???

The club didn't try to attract Pelchen, Corcoran, Judd, Warnock, sponsors etc etc as an assistant coach - which is the topic.

As for nobody wanting to come to Punt Rd being a fact - well, facts are pretty much irrelevant for you.

Its not just assistant coaches, it's across the board
For assistants how about Buckley, Voss, Burns just for starters who've been aggressively headhunted by other clubs
Buckley hasn't gone anywhere yet, but we've now appointed our extra assistant so no chance of getting him now

Perhaps they think Campbell is the best available. Going by what Terry Wallace says about him, it seems likely.

with all due respect to say Campbo was selfish is the biggest load of poo coming.

This guy captained our club and quit before he reached 300 games. why??

because he felt he wasn't good enough to reach 300 games.

Now if thats selfish then i am not here writing this now.

When Cambo got the assistant coaching job at the Bulldogs, JohnF couldn't bear to be away from his hero, so he applied for the gig as Woofer the Bulldogs mascot. He'll be back as soon as he can get the stucked zipper on the dog-suit undone lol.

Plough's push for Cambo
richmondfc.com.au
By Tony Greenberg
3:40 PM Tue 14 October, 2008

Richmond coach Terry Wallace hinted at Wayne Campbell’s appointment to a coaching role at Tigerland in an article for the Club’s website, which appeared in the week the four-time Jack Dyer Medallist announced his playing retirement, back in 2005.

Campbell, who has spent the past couple of years in an assistant coaching role with the Western Bulldogs, was late last week appointed an assistant coach at the club where he played 297 games in an illustrious 15-year AFL career, much to Wallace’s delight.

In the August ‘05 article, Wallace sang the praises of Campbell the player, and gave reasons why Campbell the coach, could excel.

“I am very pleased to have had the opportunity of coaching Wayne, albeit for only a brief time.  As so often happens, your opinion of a player rises when you see them at close quarters,” Wallace said.

“Wayne’s knowledge of the game and use of the ball was far better than what I had presumed, looking in from the outside. 

“Even though it’s his last year, and the body has slowed down, his value and contribution to the team – especially early, when we were trying to re-establish ourselves – was first class.

“. . . anyone who wins four Best and Fairests at the one football club has a huge stake in the history of that club, and deserves the right to be considered a champion.

“Wayne, throughout his career, has not been the most gifted athlete, or a high-flying mark, or prodigious kick.  But he had all the qualities I love in a player – a footy brain, strong will, perseverance and leadership.  These are qualities you can rely on week in, week out as a coach, and they hold a player in very good stead over many years of AFL football.

“To finish in the top three in the Club’s Best and Fairest on eight different occasions, to me, suggests that Wayne Campbell was a player that every coach could rely on to give his best each time he stepped out on to the field.

“I have a feeling that Wayne will not be lost to AFL football.  When I listen to him talk, he has strong, well-thought-out opinions on the game. 

“He is a lateral thinker and still has a passion for the sport he started playing as a young boy.

“After some time off overseas, he will come back to Australia refreshed and ready for new challenges.

“If football is his chosen pathway, I believe he would make a great coach or administrator.

“Personally, I believe if this is to happen, he should broaden his outlook and cut his teeth at another club, as all of us can become far too insular, having spent all our time in the one environment.

“If the Richmond Football Club remains his passion, however, then those of us at Tigerland will assist him in any way possible . . .”
