Campo is one of the most unselfish players to play at our club.

He could have played to 300 games but stopped short of that because he thought he was not good enough to enter into that elite club. FACT!!
That one action doesn't make up for an entire career of being selfish
I'm sure it was more to so with the fact that his extended holiday to New York was the following year and he didn't want to change his plans

of course you have to come up with something now dont you.

can you give me some other examples on field of his selfishness

look he is not my first choice not by any means but i wouldn't be too upset if we got him. You clearly have an issue with Campo

I gave you the best possible example. Were you at the Demons game? How old were you that year? No Richmond supporter would ever have forgotten his spineless performance chipping the ball around the boundary line to get his stats up. He just didnt GAF about finals, club or team. Just his stats count.

Not the only time it happened either

his holiday had nothing to do with his plan to retire when he did. he was struggling with lower leg injuries. His body couldnot do another pre-season after playing at top level all them years making All-Australian, Victorian side, 5 best & fairest plus other countless awards. that says alot for a player who in your eyes was selfish & poo, maybe you need to get them scratched coke bottle glasses redone because certainly your not that good a judgement over those who awarded a great footballer

haha how old was l well l can tell ya l'm older than Wayne, watched all his games. just to mention he was also a top junior representing Teal cup, got to be good footballer to have all them honors. he slowed down alot cause he carryed alot of them footballers in his years at Tigerland, you should be respectful he was there otherwise we could have had alot more wooden spoon. 1995 he had the ball on a string & there was alot of top players in the AFL at that time. The more crap you come up with the more l remember how good he really was. he also come runnerup a few times in the Richmond Best & fairest just to add to the 5 he won.
& as l said Jack Dyer said he was a great footballer,

its funny all those imbeciles jump at the chance to mention Sugar's one B&F but when we turn our attention to Campo they go running and dont want to acknowledge what a good player he was at our club.

also he was one of only 2 captains to assist us in winning a final in the last 25 years. He was also part of the 1995 team.

He was a good player in a crap side
Certainly doesn't deserve to be handed the keys to the club
Would have taken Knights as a coach over Campbell any day of the week
Knights has had a few years coaching, including running his own side at Port Adelaide
Campbell has done nothing

There are better options available

Crap example.
We got smashed by 13 goals with pretty much every player having a down game yet you manage to highlight one player.  :nope
Build a bridge. He's a multiple club champion whether you like it or not. How good or bad the team was is irrelevant. If you don't like it then stiff poo, it's written in history.

I've singled him out because he's the one putting his handup to coach. And the lets re-run the mediocre days of Campbell as a player all over again crew are too busy felating themselves to know any better. 

That game is a fantatsic example that perfectly sums up the player. The team is down and he is playing kick to kick on the boudary line. And here you are cheering him on.   :chuck

Its a great example of a team without leadership, a collection of chokers with leadership more interested in being selfish stats hores than playing finals. Campbell always made sure he got his stats quota. Even that day. His individual honors are a wonderful reinforcement of the cricitism that he played entirely for himself at the expense of the team.
 
LMFAO at u honoring Campbell with 2 finals series to his credit in a 290+ game career. Thats the only part of history that counts for anything sunshine.

As far as I'm concerned, that entire period of our history and everyone associated with it should be blown up and buried 6,000 miles under the ground. Not sneakily manouvering for coaching jobs and being honored for something they never achieved- bringing success to the club.

Tell us about Laffy and the dog again. Its the only you ever had something to say.

So you've dedicated your entire life to Wayne Campbell. So you're as stupid in life as you are on this board. Good for you.

You can debate all you want about him as a player, what you cant deny is that he choked in games we needed to win. He was one of a group of senior players that couldnt show leadership when it mattered, and they had plenty of opportunities but always dropped their stones and finished 9th.

Not much chance of being a good coach if you were a shocking leader as a player and a perennial choker. To be putting your hand up for it after only a year's experience as an assistant shows you how much disdain you have for the club.

Back to the OP- the club will never go forward as long as people put themselves, their mates and their boyfriends ahead of the club. Campbell is a wonderful example of how some people at the club want to promote their own interests over and above the good of the club itself.

That'd be handy. Then you wouldn't have to worry about recorded historical facts about Campbell showing something different to your opinion.

Laffy and the dog was pretty funny.  :thumbsup The bloke who was yelling to take Laffy off and leave the stray dog on was a riot.

That story puts me one up on you in the worthwhile stakes.   :D
