Cut up: An unhappy Wayne Campbell remonstrates with the Demons.

RICHMOND captain Wayne Campbell has done his bit to douse speculation he was eye-gouged by Demon Travis Johnstone on Friday night.

Despite footage of the incident looking damning, Campbell yesterday said: "I certainly didn't feel at any stage I was being gouged".

"I think Travis and I have had words over a couple of years . . . I think he was just trying to shut me up," Campbell said.

Campbell left the ground with a bloodied face. It is unclear if it was a result of contact from Johnstone or his opponent James McDonald.

There was no word on the incident from the AFL last night. The Demons face a nervous wait today.

Campbell spoke on Channel Nine yesterday about being constantly harassed by McDonald.

"I think the ball was a fair way away, and James was trying to stop my run which is fair enough, that's his job to do that," Campbell said.

"I probably got a little bit angry. I think we as a footy club play a little bit better when we're angry, and we didn't get angry enough."

"I hate the **** and can't wait until we play them again"
would have been a better reply than,
"I think he was just trying to shut me up,"
C'mon Wayne!

If Johnstone gets cited, maybe Campbell will suddely remember everything and tell the tribunal he was clearly eye-gouged. But his selective memory will tell him that it was Liberatore who eye-gouged him. Soft, and a liar to boot :rolleyes:
