What the Richmond recruiters say about Gray...

"Campbell has played every game for Essendon VFL in 2024, as a key position utility, spending time in defence, forward and ruck. He is a versatile, competitive key position player who is strong in the air and has excellent recovery and intent at ground level. He is an extremely likeable and hardworking character, currently a fourth year apprentice electrician whilst balancing VFL commitments."

I hope we didn't just pick him because he kicked a couple goals against us on Saturday and he's fresh on the mind? My mate just text me he barracks for Bombers and said he was surprised he was picked up. Ive never seen his name mentioned in all the potential players tipped to be picked up lists where 30-50 players have had writeups? Here's hoping he sticks it up em.

Lol our recruiters have probably tracked this bloke since U16s. Very easy to underestimate how much historical data they have on players.

Solid pick. Strong mark and decent set shot. Can play either end but his forward work has been much better than his defensive stuff.
