campbell v sugar

[letsgetiton!]

many many ppl suporters and journos laid the boot into wayne campbell

campbo is/was 1000 times a better player leader and captain than sugar will ever be, i dont care how many premiership medals teh crows gave him.

sugar is getting it easy from many and campbo copped plenty of sh it

why cant he just stand down and give newman the gig

Aren't we just repeating what we did with Cambo?! Finding a single scapegoat when our mediocrity seems to be a deeper problem within the whole club or at least the footy department. If it takes the captain to play well for the rest to play well then that doesn't say much for the mentality of our players. I don't see the Carlton players chucking it in because Lance can't get a kick. Where's the pride and self-belief in your own effort and performance and wanting to do the team things?

lance showed whuy he is captain, he worked his way out of teh cold and played hard and well yesterday

only if us tigers had a leader like him, who against the odds can bounce back

blues have heart and balls, we dont

Johnson had a poor start to 2006. By the end of the season he was B&F.
Is that the type of working out of the cold and bouncing back you mean?


Just because Campbell was unfairly treated doesn't make it ok for the same to happen to Johnson.

[Life goes on]

You cant be serious even comparing the two.

[Fishfinger]

No. I'm saying it's not ok to treat Johnson poorly on the premise that Campbell was.

(I'm assuming you were replying to me  ???)

no, not at you at all fishy.
just think the two players are poles apart in regards to what they have done for the RFC

Tell that to our so called supporters who never forgave Cambo for threatening to walk to North and who would bag him ad nauseum for his short little chips and him getting the captaincy from Knighter. The same leadership question marks pointed at Sugar now were also pointed at Cambo. The captain bashing isn't poles apart.

Campbell -v- Sugar (aka Johnosn)

it's like .....

beans -v- brussel sprouts

You cannot really compare because some people no matter what love beans while others no matter what love brussel sprouts

LOL

With that analogy no wonder they don't inspire our kids to greatness 

[tiga]

To me its more like beans vs what happens after you eat too many of them. 

[Ox]

At least Campbell was a great,servicable player for the club at one point of his career.even inspiring.
The Captaincy,imo,was too big a burden in light of the fact he was consumed by his ownership of the Swan Hotel
and then later another pub in Richmond.

I also heard a whisper that he was over the way how feral our supporters can be.

Can't say i blame him for that.

Johnson is just a fairy and as i think about his service to us this far I can actually feel
my stomach knot.

mt the only reason he wanted to leave was because he was made aware of inhouse talk about trading him, he felt gutted and betrayed thus wanted to leave and rightly so! same thing happened to northey, the last half decent coach we had. thanx to mal brown he left, who the hell was mal brown, played a handful of games and thought he owned the joint.


campbell was as good a captain as can be, but copped unwarranted flak over his leadership.

why is sugar so protected, what a joke it was to a/ reccruit him, and b/  make him captain

let see if terry has the balls to drop the captain

[Harry]

Knights was a champion.

Campbell was a good player.

Johnson is a hack.

agree

sugar should be dropped and sent to coburg, but i bet terry is to proud to admit he stuffed up picking him as captain and now it makes it damn hard to drop him, who was the last captain dropped from a team cos of form.

terry drop sugar immediately

ps, ppl say joel never deserved his jd medals!!!! pigs a rse of course he did, its sugar who was bloody given one
