‘The Age’ newspaper, in its ‘Eyebrow Raisers’ column, also paid a glowing tribute to Campbell. With the poise of a veteran he nailed the goal straight through the centre to give the Tigers the four points.” Two minutes later he received a handpass from captain Dale Weightman deep in the forward pocket at the small scoreboard end. In the tense final quarter he goaled on the run at the three-minute mark to give the Tigers a six-point lead and was prominent again at the 22-minute mark when he fired out a long handpass to Chris Naish who goaled to put Richmond within two points of the Blues. He was then matched against Carlton’s Adrian Gleeson and played a second half of similar outstanding effect.
He soundly outplayed an opponent the calibre of Carlton 150-gamer Craig Bradley in an eye-catching opening half yesterday, before the highly-rated Blue was shifted into attack. He was outstanding for four quarters yesterday as he amassed 41 possessions and booted four goals. His best-afield performance in yesterday’s surprise win against Carlton has put Campbell in the running for the Tigers’ Best and Fairest award. “RICHMOND ruck-rover Wayne Campbell has been a shining light in a season of failed hopes for the Tigers.Įverything you need to know ahead of Richmond's Round 4 clash against St Kilda this Saturday. Here’s what the ‘Sunday Herald Sun’ football reporter Glen Quartermain had to say about that dazzling display by young Campbell. He racked up what was to be an equal AFL-career high 41 disposals, kicked four goals, including the match-winning one, and deservedly picked up the three Brownlow Medal votes as best afield in the Tigers’ thrilling, three-point win. Not only did Campbell display exemplary defensive qualities, he hurt Carlton big time through his attacking football. So well did Campbell carry out the task, Bradley had to be moved to the Blues’ forward after half-time. Richmond entered the Round 15 clash in 13 th place on the league ladder (a 15-team competition that year), with three wins and nine losses, while the Blues were sixth with an 8-5 win-loss record.Ĭampbell was given the daunting assignment by Tigers coach Allan Jeans of a run-with role on Carlton’s superstar midfielder Craig Bradley, and he rose to the challenge superbly.

Joe was formerly the lead vocalist of the red-hot local band of the 80s and 90s known as The Brothers Grimm.

After college, Rich formed the band Sound Advice, and hooked up with local favorite Crissinger for a short time. They headlined South Green Weekend, East Green Weekend, and SpringFest performing for crowds of over 6,000 people and recording in the studio and live for OU recording majors and their professors. At Ohio University in the 1980s, his band, Watergate, played "Rock from the Nixon Era" and became a regular attraction at The Union Cafe, The Frontier Room, Spanky's, and other campus nightspots. Rich has been a semi-professional guitarist for over thirty years with a reputation for showmanship and musical artistry. He co-founded the band that would become Classic Rewind and delivers a diverse range of singing styles, while playing rhythm, lead and bass guitars. As a classically trained player early on, he was driven by the 70s rock scene: "I traded my horn for my first guitar after high school." He quickly developed a blues guitar style at open stage jams with many of Columbus' finest musicians and has played at local night clubs and private parties in bands such as: Fender Benders, Rugburn and Duplicity.
