Welcome Welcome to tigerland - Seth Campbell Rookie pick 12

[bc27]

Debut for the kid! Get around him!

 

[tiger_tough]

Delist if he can't kick another 10 goals.

edit: I just watched those 10 again. While it's not a great competition, I'm not sure we have many, if any, other legit small forwards with that skill. Probably only Shai Bolton

I know nothing about the kid but if it's good enough for meatball to give him a big rap......its good enough for me

Sorry for the intrusion. Big Seth Campbell fan here. First time I heard his name was during that ten goal classic.

But what’s even better about him is he showed a lot of professionalism early in his career, playing senior footy in Launceston despite hailing from Burnie. He wanted it and worked for it to get drafted. No easy road. His AFL career has probably broken the very rough and disadvantaged cycle he grew up in, too.

Hope it goes well for him, get around #44.

Speech! Speech!

 

[Meteoric Rise]

We need to be patient here I feel. The club is obviously seeing something really good in him, but in the matches he is struggling to win contests against mature AFL opponents. That will only get easier for him over the coming years.

Fingers crossed he has a sound debut. Anything more than that would be a big bonus. Fantastic effort to be selected.

Can you expand on that?

We have had a few high draft picks come through the TSL recently and none of them have had the game Seth had that day! That was amazing to watch

I went to one of the forums the Tasmanian AFL team held, spoke with an AFL Tasmania employee and he said that. They spoke about how sport can be a vehicle for change but didn’t go much further, they just used Seth as an example. Went through the Tasmanian public system. I can say that is a far, far cry from APS schools.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he chose to pursue an apprenticeship/work instead of school because the amount of travel would have been a barrier.

Excellent post. I see good things in this kid, just needs a few pre-seasons.

PS - Just gotta love Lambo...what an amazing person to have at our club!

 

[THE_GUN]

Love this kid and really hope he has a magnificent career
Been on his fan bus since day 1 , Just something about a 17 year old Tasmanian kicking 10 goals in a game that puts a smile on my face.

Go Well Son

Fantastic to hear about a hard working kid making his dreams come true.

Looks to have a good head on his shoulders , gets to right locations and neat skills , clearly some belief in him , the experience will be invaluable as he learns what he can get away with at the level , good luck kid , believe in yourself

 

[Karp3_dm]

Needs to kick one early to settle those nerves he has and he will be fine I reckon

 

[AstuteTiger]

Get around the SETHMAN. Well done on your debut. The Kid has got skill, pace and has developed a strong body.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

What position does he play? dont know anything about him

He's a small forward.

Well if you stopped watching your own Netflix doco u might know Rocco , f50 specialist neat skills prob cross between Toby green and Eddie betts

 

[THE_GUN]

He's a small forward.

Wouldnt really say he is just a small foward but that is the position he played as a junior
Has a big tank and good speed and very good goal sense

Hopefully ends up playing a similar role to Zac butters in 2 years time

 

[bc27]

To me he could become more of a Bailey then a butters.

Jeeze don’t put pressure on the kid or nothing?

I haven’t seen enough of Seth but surely he ain’t as quick and nimble as Butters

 

[captain cotch 9]

Too soon to give him #12 or #8?

That campaigner lives every man's dream.

 

[Barnzy]

Based off that should play a lot of games.

Good skills, nice clean kicking action. Felt way more confident with him lining up to goal than the majority of our list who spray them

 

[tiger_tough]

Looked good. Nice to have a player with some composure.
