Wayne Campbell -How do u rate him as a player?

[(•))(©™]

You bagged Bowden & Newman relentlessy over the years for their soft, unnaccountable, stat-padding ways...(and rightly so, I might add)... who do think they learnt that shyte from?

In the way that frawley, now looks better than Hardwick,
Campbell now looks better than Cotchin.

Campbell had less than half the balls of Cotchin...and unless you 'd like to point out the matches where Campbell was getting smashed at the bottom of packs and throwing himself from contest to contest while the rest of the side stood and watched...then I'll stand by that comment....

fair comment.  Don't think Cambo was drinking the koolaid anymore so wasn't going to get wrekked for it.

When Knights got taken out by Libba who was the ONLY player that wanted to kill Libba?

Yes it was Wayne Campbell.

I saw many games where he absolutely pushed himself to the brink to get the boys over the line. One game vs Melbourne I still remember where he amassed nearly 20 in the last to get us a win.
He also could kick the crunch goals a captain is normally expected to nail.  And his field kicking was decent.


Dio, I agree with most things you post but on this I don't agree. I think Campbell played for the jumper unlike most in the current regime that don't even like playing footy because it's not everything to them but they're just good blokes.

I ask you this, when a final had to be won against the scum cheats which team captain made sure we won the game?

Campbell had 17 possesions plus help from a host of others that day andthat was one of his better years when he was under Northey, (remember I said the majority of his career, not all of it) who didn't wear selfish players ...when Cotchin did the same in second half of the EF v Carlton only Maric & Vlastuin went with him...but people seem to want to pretend that never happened because of the next two EF's...

1995 semi win vs Essendon but thrashed by a merciless Geelong in the Prelim.
2001 semi win vs Scum Cheats and Frawley was coach thrashed by the merciless lions in the Prelim.
2012 elimination final loss vs 9th place ScumCheats.

Can only laugh if you think Campbell was the reason we won those games and Cotchin was the reason we lost in 2013.

Not the only reason but IMO Campbell, Knights & Free were all better captains than Cotchin.
But I also think that this current regime has ruined what could've been one of our greats but unfortunately has been ruined.
