Confirmed in the Age article in the OP.

Remember where you come from Cambo when you're directing the umps  .


Umpires' new instructions:
1. You must pay a free kick to Richmond.
2. If it's not a free kick then see point 1.

 

[Judge Roughneck]

Maybe he will tell them to play jack a free when he is molested

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Cue the blame Wayne Campbell for poor umpire decisions thread

[Phil Mrakov]

This will please the Campbell bashers who think he is a cancer in our club

All favourtism jokes aside.
Campbo will be a great director of umpiring having been a smart player and having an understanding and perspective of the modern game, the ol' fella didn't have.

Plus he loves Richmond

Is that why he wanted to leave Richmond when he was playing ?

[Diocletian]

Does the mean kicks will now only have to travel 5 metres for a mark to paid? Or 15 metres straight up in the air? Will we see players being awarded marks from their own kicks?

Tuck might've retired a year too early - could've broken all kinds of possession records and probably won the Brownlow.

[WA Tiger]

Well that's the end of his coaching aspirations

[bojangles17]

wonder why he d want that craphouse job, surely life in clubland would be a whole lot more fun

[Oiafi]

I get the impression he's more interested in sports administration than coaching.

Here's your answer >>

On another note , the Herald Sun report says that ironically Geischen installed Campbell as captain in his last year as coach of Richmond.
 Is that right ? My recollection is that Frawley dumped Knights as skipper and replaced him with Campbell ?
