As far as "Kick it to me Campbell" goes as a coach, are you kidding . He didnt know how to win on the field how is he going to teach Kids to win. Run behind to get a handpass or bomb it on guys heads is not going to win games nowdays (and didnt win in his day either).
Fluffy Tiger, you cant judge a player by his onfield playing career, at a club that was in turmoil in his time, to his coaching career, its totaly 2 very different things.
Not forgetting he is a 5 times B&F winner & one of Tigerlands favorite sons, so he must have something to offer back to the game
l seen poo players become good coaches, l seen alot of players who were injured most thier careers, (example Neil Daniher ) become good coaches, & l seen B&F winners & champions crumble at coaching, some people are good senior coaches but cant coach juniors & vice versa. Its like putting someone in your company as CEO hoping they can be successful at why you placed them there or go down the tubes
l'm not convinced Campbell would be a good coach myself & until l see him coach a side in any league at senior level or TAC U18's then he shouldnot be judged harshly. He is from what l know personally & from what l been told a very tactical assistant coach at Western Bulldogs with Leon Cameron under Rodney Eade & the Bulldogs are in 3rd position so something is working out there at Western Oval cause they aint got a team of mega stars & are a small forward unit but getting the job done quietly
l personally donot want untried coaches coming into Richmond FC cause we been used as a TAFE for years, but who knows Campbell might know what our club needs & has Yellow & Black flowing through his veins. Lets hope his makes a wise choice & follows the path of coaching elsewhere & learn the ropes like others before taking on the biggest tasks
