Do you like getting stuck into teams when they are down..?

Wayne Campbell's effort after the siren at three quarter time was pretty uninspiring. He looked totally at sea, like he was scared to rip a hamstring. Most players should be able to have a decent ping from 55. Campbell's been a fantastic servant for the Tigers, going from boundary rider to inspirational captain, but currently he seems lost. His body language at the half time siren was sad to see.

Clearly, Wayno has got some issues to deal with in regards to his leadership skills. Looking at all the other 15 captains in the league, Campbell would have to be dead last in terms of leadership qualities.

In no way am i saying he is not a champion club player, but he cannot be seen as a real leader. Doesn't have the ability to turn a game around, and lead a team from behind.

heartbroken - you are completely entitled to forward your opinion on his leadership skills, but you have called him a coward in your title of this thread which displays a fair degree of ignorance and bad judgement on your part. If you are nearly as courageous as Campbell you are a pretty brave person.
I hope you have regrets about starting this thread because as an anonymous person on a public forum you have indulged in a cowardly attack that is hurtful to a known person who is of good character.

The achillies injury he suffered last year seems to have seriously affected Cambo whether that be directly as he's 31 or through limiting his pre-season preparation. He has slowed considerably. Maybe some should take that into account before calling him a coward :rolleyes: .

Big picture of Campbell in this morning's Herald Sun taking a mark with Carey bearing down on him. That's a pretty gutsy effort.

Campbell's time is drawing to a close. Who will be the next captain? Unfortunately for you Tigers, the marquee player who should fill the role is mentally incapable.

Campbell was never a guy who possessed natural leadership qualities, but up until this season he had been a reasonable leader by no means anywhere near the best leader in the competiton. Unfortunatley I think that achilles injury may be a career injury its affected his form, fitness and leadership.

I am actually a gold richmond member. What are you?

In response to your question, I am a passionate Richmond supporter who lives in Richmond and keeps a keen interest in the preseason and attends most matches. My anger stems from the fact that since the early 80's (the last time Richmond was a power), almost every other team has has a couple of peaks and troughs whereas Richmond has only had 1 giant trough. Absolutely gutwrenched and am demanding changes
