Was Campbell behind this push

The player is not the coach.

Amen! Clarkson was a very very average AFL player, Neil Craig never played senior AFL football and Tim Watson was a champion player.

Frankly I don't care who is coach as long as they smile when holding up the 2013 premiership cup next to Chimp

And if there was such a thing as PRE back in the 60's - there'd be posters saying "why pick this Hafey bloke as coach - he was a dud player."
 
this thread is just so on the money it's not funny; amazing that people have only just woken up to what Wayne Campbell's really been up to.
for those late to the party, it goes like this.
the Bulldogs are still dirty on Wallace, and Richmond since the Liberatore incident.
They hatched a plan to lure Wayne Campbell to the Whitten Oval as a "specialist coach", but deep in the bowels of their new building is a darkened room where "opposition analysis" is conducted.
Unbeknownst to Wayne, the video's have been sending him subliminal Tiger hate messages and reducing him to a zombie like state, only revived by the voice command of Campbell (see the connection, eery) Rose whispering into his mobile phone.
Since returning to Punt Road, Wayne has been instructed by the vengefull Bulldogs to carry out a campaign of destabilisation, which he has executed flawlessly, culminating in the departure of Wallace this week.
It is no coincidence that Terry's final match is against the Bulldogs - no, it's all part of the plan.
The Tiges will burst out of the blocks early, falter late in a honourable loss, with at games end previous Terry-haters finding themselves inexplicably wishing him well in his future endevours.
But Wayne Campbell is now annointed as caretaker, with the final phase of the Bulldogs despicable plan to now play out.
Jordan McMahon is immediately installed as captain, with Jay Shultz VC and Cleve Hughes / JON DVC's. All over 30's are retired. Trent Cotchin is placed on the long term injury list.
And all remaining players are told to grow their hair lanky and long, Daffy-style.
The planned Punt Road development is dramatically altered in favour of a Chapel Street laneway theme with sheltered workshops selling lattes and alternative medicines, diversifying the club's core business into a retail property play.
End of year, Wayne Campbell takes over as coach, and in a major shock, also CEO.
Immediately announces a jv retail development / food hall with Mission Foods (who just happen to sponsor the Bulldogs). Sells 50% of jv to Smorgan family.
And on it goes...

And Royce Hart - champion player from a winning culture. He could never fail as a coach.

or perhaps we're just a poorly coached poorly skilled football team.

Not to mention poorly developed physically and mentally, thanks to our PD department.

I seriously doubt Campbell would have behind any push, it came down to Richmond making the finals this season, that went the window in the first 4 games and goodbye Terry.

Has me thinking all this.. Has history repeated once again and Campbell has been conspiring behind the scenes from the moment he arrived to get the top job.. Our club and coaching ranks was quite stable before he arrived.

Paranoia is a known side-effect after taking acid. I'd stop the trips and the paranoia will most likely stop as well. I'm guessing you don't have any anti-Campbell bias as well? ;)

GO TIGES!!!
