He was a All Australian player more than once. Picked by Australian selectors
Not people who sit in their bedroom playing AFL games on their play stations or playing fantasy football & bashing their keyboards up cause they know little of what it takes to play at the top level & the sacrifices these players make not just to play football but to do so over a very long time. Take players like Robert Harvey, Brent Harvey, as just 2 fine examples. 20 years of sacrifice & most top players last 10 years
A club Best & Fairest many times who had team mates who were also top footballers that would fit perfect into other clubs.
Our downfall was having coaches who had no interest to take our club anywhere but to purposely keep us below their own ex clubs. As mentioned above when Richmond made the big mistake of sacking Northey "a Richmond man". We were & always have been doomed. l like to write a few other things but l can't cause l would be sued but someone will say something on video one day.
Just remember these words, People are paid to infiltrate other clubs. VFL/AFL
l would rate Wayne Campbell a 7.
Coaches had a bad habit of playing footballers injured & pushed them to the brink of career ending injury. Campbell should have retired a year before.
However if you want to compare him to Cotchin who came to the club in the 2007 draft who has won 3 x B&F & was All Australian 1 time. He will never make the Australian side again because injury will creep up on him quickly in the next 2 years as he is battling now. He should be a Brownlow medalist but strangely why has he not been rewarded this yet. Corruption ?
Richmond fans needs to start a petition & hand it too the AFL & demand it be given to the rightful B&F
So RFC are still in the wilderness & many always point to the players. Point your frustrations towards the admin & the coaching staff who allow this rubbish style of play to go on year after year. Get Malthouse a Richmond man to coach the club for it to move forward to success cause otherwise we will keep getting the same poo dished up.
FWIW on Fox Footy now, Season 2010 round 14 with players who are still in the side today. Many have still done nothing but many use the term champions & they will come good well l'm still waiting like us all. Champions don't go Sideways, Backwards, Circles, but are instructed by those who just maybe don't want us to be a power again.
