I'd like to see a little more from Campbell in the pressure/ferocious tackle department, he does skirt around the periphery at times (I just watched the 3rd quarter of the 2017 GF and my goodness were we ferocious inside our forward 50, it's hard to believe we were that good). He is tracking nicely but definitely could add that string to his bow.
I feel like he did pressure pretty well in the first couple rounds, but now has fallen off doing that for some reason and as you say just sort of hangs around. Still does apply pressure at some moments though, and everything else about his game has been amazing to watch. Just hasn't gotten many tackles

the guy has kept us in many games, as long and he finds the goals he doesn't need to chase like a mad man.
 
We seem to have a set play or maybe its dumb luck, but when everyone pushes up to the wings and we take a mark, Seth just takes off towards to goal. Imagine being the poor bastard standing near him on the wing running towards a loose ball inside 50, delicious.

Really promising that we've got two young guys in here

he's literally our best pressure player outside of taranto and most weeks is 2nd/3nd except for the game just played

currently 27th in the comp for total pressure acts (3rd out of fwds)

this was him vs freo

now his tackles aren't as high in comparison to his pressure acts, and we'd have to study the tape and know his role to understand why that is. but he's currently averaging higher pressure acts than dioli, butler, bolton & castagna had in 2017, and averaging 1 less tackle a game compared to them. obviously there's still a bit less than 20 games left to go, but he's on the right track while having better stats offensively in a struggling side than they had in 2017, a premiership side (he also doesn't have a jack graham + kane lambert alongside him applying insane pressure in the fwd half)

he just needs backup which it was nice to see maurice helped with vs gcs, need consistency from him, and a little improvement from steely green. if we play all 3 of them with mansell back we'll be in good hands if they can keep it up for most of the year
 
Another rookie selection gem - his speed is an absolute weapon and his post-goal celebrations are top-tier. Would be a few kids popping up with the number 44 on the back of their tigers guernsey at aus kick now I reckon
 
Campbell has put himself right into the rising stars for AA conversation. Nick Watson, Paul Curtis, Kozi Pickett, Darcy Jones, Tom Hanily and Seth Campbell.
Add our young small forwards to go along with Seth…Steely Green, Jasper Alger, Rhyan Mansell, Judson Clarke, MRJ and I would say Richmond possibly have the most exciting group of young small forwards in the competition.

I think the Hawks have that covered by a fair margin right now.
 
Talked up on Gettable.
They mentioned upcoming contract, and that he’ll be staying. Big pay rise coming up.
Now’s the time to do it
We have money to burn so we can incentivise with a tasty front loaded contract
