How would you Fix Richmond- Your Ideas to save a Great Club

[Tigermonk]

yeah funny that hey  & Knights came from the same era as Campbell how come Infamy & 1980 have gone quite on Knights.
His got more wins on the board than our coach & they are so injured yet play a better style football & are younger.
falls back to whats wrong with RFC why cant our youngsters cement a spot in the side with 6 old players

No-one could deny Campbell the opportunity if he'd racked up as much coaching experience as Knights had before he got the senior gig at Essendon.

And you've got the gall to compare him to Knights after 1 year's experience as an assistant coach, proving both that you've got NFI, and even worse, that you couldnt give a stuff about the risk the club would be undertaking by putting on a novice.

[1980]

So 1980, Sack Campbell,...I get it....now replace him with whom? This thread is about fixing the club not digging into the past. 

The Campbell issue is a great barometer about whats wrong with this club.

Campbell could have been one of our great players if we'd made him work for it. Someone over on BigFooty said recently he could have been as good as Robert Harvey. But we let him get away with deficiencies in his game because he was better than most of the players at the club. He never had to push himself, and we pumped him up, overrated him, made everything too easy for him, gave him B&Fs (half of which he didnt earn) put all our hopes into the likes of him, and didnt make him and other senior players accountable when we finished 9th.

And its not Campbell's fault, its the clubs. 

And we have done the same with Deledio. 

Campbell has had a year's experience as an assistant and here we are handing him the senior gig as if he owns the joint. What does that say about us as a footy club?

We have to stop overrating our players, we need to be far more aggressive in our drafting and trading (the Hawks didnt get the pick for Hodge for free).

If we'd had the stones to trade Campbell and Richo for Lockett (and kept Maxfield), we'd have gotten closer to a premiership than we did, and we'd have a list of players that wouldnt be so comfortable around the footy club for so long.

1. Knights hasn't won a thing yet, his side started well last year too yet crashed out of the 8
2. The Essendon side is still built around some premiership bookends in Fletcher & Lloyd, plus Lucas is pretty handy too when not recovering from a knee reco. They'd want Gumbleton to come good for when Lloyd & Lucas retire.
3. Knights at least coached his own sides in both the SANFL & VFL in addition to being an assistant at AFL level, Campbell has only been an AFL assistant for and for a very short time
4. Knights still doesn't have any history of being involved in successful sides, let's wait and see how he goes in finals, if he makes them, before we really judge him
5. If I had to choose between the two, I'd take Knights over Campbell any day of the week and twice on game day, I still think there are far better options.


I'd like to know why you clowns thing Campbell is a better candidate than Hardwick or Hinkley

l dont want Campbell to be coach & dont even want him as a assistant coach at the club & want him to go elsewhere like TAC or VFL & take control of a club by himself & if he get the points up then maybe he can return but Sheeds wants to teach him
l been stating that for a few years its obvoius you not reading the forum. ask Smokey, Jackstar, & others l have been saying this for so long.
Stop worrying about any of them getting the senior coaching job next year cause it wont happen.

l compared them as playing in the same era yet you dont bag Knights from playing in the dull years like other players you hate. l have said from day dot Knights would make a good coach just click back a few years post have a read

the bloke at big footy    dont know what champions are if he reckon Campbell could have been like Robert Harvey 
Harvey you wouldnot find a better club person & is fitter than most current AFL players today. would make Richmonds top 22 today. His off-field training pushed by himself is twice the footballer as WC
While Harvey was training outside of football & planing his opponants each week can tell you WC was not.
Robert Harvey is one of the nicest footballers l have ever met & again if you go back & read my past years post will see Robert Harvey is the best footballer l ever seen & the word champion is used for such people like him.

Maxfield was one of Richmonds biggest mistakes he was a good footballer we should never have lost

Yes Wayne has had some coaching experience but its all talk that he will be the next senior coach, l doubt very much RFC will give him the caretaker role but again thats all talk as Wallace should be made stay his term now as its too late. l want to see if Wallace can now term the players around. Campbell will not be Richmond senior coach next year

you copy & paste things l'm sure & we been over most of what you say but you forgot one thing
Essendon are playing better football than Richmond & Essendon was depleted with injuries & old players when Knights took over. He killed others off through his ridgid training that were not AFL quality players, They beat Carlton who murdered us & also beat Hawthorn in one of the best games l seen this year. They play watchable football & you never know when they will win.
Richmond you must know by now are predictable on the field coming out the backline, predictable to play ugly football, Predictable that they will lose when going through the turnstyle the stress on the Tiger supporters is flowing through the players & most of all we attack each other which the most stupid part of barracking for Richmond. l get over it by going to other live games l also hold a Melbourne & Collingwood memberships & also get the freebie to attend

Not me.

would be happy with Campo if he was to get the gig but would be more happier with Hardwick or Malthouse, although i am starting to think the latter is finished.
