RICHMOND
Wayne Campbell.

13 Possessions
5 Clangers

That must be a record.

The sad thing is, the only way he gets a kick is when his opponent runs off of him and there is a turnover and we get a quick rebound. He is all on his own then.

He still manages to hold up play until all the opposition players man up before doing his 20m chip kick to a contest.

JohnF, ask your best friend to do the honourable thing and retire now.

I am more than happy with Wayne's influence on our team at the moment.
If you watched the game closely you would see how much real impact he has. His ability to keep the ball in the forward line is highly valuable - just remember if the ball is not in our forward line we cannot kick goals - simple really.

Get of his back and don't just be a "if the stats said this then this must be so" man.

Stats are worth jack for players in his state of career. Influence is everything. Do me a favour just watch him closely for a week or two and by that i mean when he is off the ball. It might just surprise you.
 
I'd say it was his least effective game for the year. But to call for him to retire is just more vindictiveness from tigertime, whose anger at incidents from many many years ago still cloud his judgement on a players ability at the moment.
 
Tigertime Campbell is a good player and again a legend of the club. For you to want him to give it away your right but at Seasons end. Just goes to show you have no clue on Football. Let campbell Finish and lets give him a wonderful send off in our Last home game for the year or final :D

I am not a big fan of the stats because history has shown that Campbell has had 20+ possessions and has had no influence on a game of football whatsoever. In the same game knights would have had 2/3 the disposals and yet have won us the game.

But in extreme cases, they have value, and these stats highlight his ineptness, which has come to an all time high.

The real impact he has is in turnovers and opponents running off of him.

Your statement that he keeps the ball in the forward line because he takes 30 seconds to kick is just amazing. Campbell has one speed setting. Very slow.

His direct opponent is getting the ball out of the forward line and setting up goals for the opposition. Campbell rarely chases and hopes for a turnover.

With an exciting array of youngsters, now is the time to have a fast richmond side. We cant afford slow players who have little or no impact on a game of football.

Its not vindictiveness that he has played poorly all year. Its a reality. For a player to be playing in the forward line, he isnt kicking goals??? He isnt winning the hard ball. He was an average kick before but now he cant even kick properly.

Why should we carry him to the end of the season when he should have retired last year??? Does he have to lose us a game, (perhaps a final) as he tried to on the weekend, for people to take this seriously.

Every player should be selected on merit. He hasnt earnt his selection once this year.

This topic has had more reruns than Get smart.

Winner of the most boring, over used and over done thread of the year goes to Tigertime.

Congratulations to Tigertime for boring us just one more time.


*clap clap clap clap clap*
 
Thanks Punt Road Roar for your armchair commentary.

Maybe one day you will get to go to a game and have an opinion based on what actually takes place on the field. :)

:rolleyes:

again you come in with used storylines.. unfortunately for you MT has already beaten you with that well used line.

Do you actually have any material of your own or do you just like rehashing other people's thoughts?


*clap clap clap clap clap clap* standing ovation
 
In your case, he was absolutely correct. You dont have a clue. Keep playing with your mouse because thats as close as you get to the footy. :)

And on cue the "eat our own" philosphy surfaces.

We must be winning a few games. :rolleyes:

A typical, I cant back up my argument so lets change the subject.

PRR isnt a Tiger. How many games has he been to??? How many games have you been to for that matter peejay???

Cracked f..ken Record

And for What it is worth ........ those of us here with a sceric of intelligence know that you are really just trying to wind up JohnF and draw him into one of your purile arguements that have less merit than my 10 and 11 year old daughters argueing over who is going to sleep on the top bunk .

Kudos to JF for ignoring it

Ok i have a bit of spare time on my hands at the moment - i will play your stupid game.

Keeping the ball in the forward line is done by using it properly and not just blazing away so it rebounds just as quick. Doing this and instructed others to do this is what campbell does a lot of.

And as for the amount of games i have been to. Well every game this year for a start and apart from when i was abroad for two games last year, every melbourne game for the last 15 years at least and a number of interstaters as well.

In total, my quick calculations estimate about 650 richmond games, is that enough for you champ ???

Don`t agree Peej .

I`m adopting the " If you ignore them long enough principle "

It worked for a while last time
