Is Benny Gale a cancer on the club? He was part of that era and was not a great player by any stretch of the imagination.

Too simplistic. Campbell may communicate better than Leppitch. Malthouse wouldnt have changed the fortunes of a poor side if he was playing in it neither would many of the coaches.

Often feel for Wayne in that he got the best out of himself despite some shocking older influences around him at the time.

calling a former club champion a 'cancer' IMO, leaves no room for interpretation.

my sentiments too, thats what i refer to the redneck bluster and bravado that love to take aim at our tallest poppies to blame for our misfortune

I never rated Wayne Campbell as player , thought he was seriously overrated .
Despise all things Terry Wallace and think the sooner we move on from that era the better and prefer we move out all those who remain in the positions they where in when the maggot was at the club .
However , the consistency of younger players raving about the leadership and guidance Wayne Campbell provides them in their day to day life , outside of football has me in no doubts he has a role to play within our football club .

My worst period of Richmond supporter was during the Campbell time. Just that look of panic and the lack of vision, the horrible kicks. I'm not going to get involved with this because I really had a real unhealthy anti Campbell thing going for a long time.
He was hard at it, professional, good mark and good kick for goal but just that look of panic on his face when in the mid field just erked me. Should have been a 150 game half back flanker at the most.

Use to say that the opposition coaches would instruct their midfielders to make sure Wayne got plenty of the ball. The more he got it the less chance we were of winning. Aren't I horrible.

Please..What a shit post
 
What an absolute load of bullshit.
Firstly I'm happy to go on record as saying one on one he's one of the best players I've seen.
He gets so unfairly maligned by some it makes me sick.

Going on your "mates" logic if Trent Cotchin was to retire in ten years having played just a few finals in a largely unsuccesful era then we would be better to disregard him,show him the door and rid the cancer.

Now as silly as that sounds,that's about as silly as your "mates" suggestion.
From everything you hear Wayne is also very good at what he does at the club but let's get rid of him.
He's a loser.

You do know that Wayne Cambell only played one season - 22 games - under Wallace. Trent Cotchin probably played more. Deledio probably played over 100.

For all the Wallace-bagging that goes on, his first 3 years were at least as good as Hardwick's, and he took over when we were the bottom side - worse placed than under Hardwick. Yep, he failed - so do 90% of coaches in the AFL.

But even if you still hate Wallace, you can't really tie him in with Wayne Campbell.

so were giving him a full time wage to tell them how to be good leaders? isnt that something dimma and assistants could do?

Maybe there's more to leadership than many may think. ;)

And am I right in thinking that Cotchin really rates WC as a coach? I'm sure he has mentioned before about learning a lot from him.

Rumour is that WC will be getting the Coburg/Richmond VFL coaching gig.

As a redneck, I take offence to this. I didn't lash our most decorated players through that time. There were too many others much further up the queue.
 
Top bloke.

You do realise the tie I was making between Wallace and Campbell was the fact that Campbell was one of wallets assistant coaches .
Wallace may have a similar win / loss record to Dimma over his first three years the big difference is Dimma's record is on the back of developing for the future . Wallace never once had an eye for the future it was all about his win/ loss record , which seem him regularly bring in overpriced players and left us with the worst list in the comp when he finally got the flick.

he came back to the club in 2009 - he would have been working with Wallace from October through to April. So because he worked under him for 7 months you consider him tainted?

Read my initial post I stated , or words to the effect , that I would prefer all those who held positions when Wallace was there are removed from those positions . Yet acknowledged that WC is very well respected for the work he does in developing the younger players especially outside of footy And therefore believe there is a role for him at the club.
Sorry, but I don't support anyone within the role they held when Wallace was there , as it was very plain to see that the jerk wasn't doing what was in the best interest of the Richmond Football Club and to ignore it was as good as supporting it .

but seriously, seven months? Thats barely out of a single pre-season and you think he's infected?

At no stage did I say or suggest he is infected.
WC did however join a coaching panel knowing and therefore supporting a bloke who was demoralizing the club he played for .
I personally prefer WC wasn't within that same role , which he has already been moved from , so it really isn't an issue .

The fact Campbo and Cotch are basically best mates should answer any doubt about the quality of the man.
 
I'm glad this thread started because its a ******** disgrace the way Wayne Campbell is regarded by sections of our supporter base.
I fail to see what more a bloke could possibly get out of himself for this footy club.Even of it were true that've was just a player who looks good because he played with such crap( which is rubbish anyway)why would that be his fault?
He was also a massive reason for us having such a great season in 95 as his form was top shelf.

Could go on and on but seriously how can anyone bag him?
