Tassie Devils coach Jeromey Webberley believes Seth Campbell is an ideal fit for Richmond, who secured the services of the talented, young forward via the AFL’s rookie draft earlier this week.

Campbell produced a string of impressive performances for the Tassie Devils in the NAB League competition throughout the 2022 season.

Webberley, who played 16 senior games with Richmond from 2010-12, envisages the 17-year-old eventually having a significant impact at Tigerland.

“Seth is an exciting prospect,” Webberley told The Mercury newspaper.

“He’s small (182cm, 73kg), but he’s got really good leg speed and endurance and loves a goal . . . he kicked 10.6 in a state league game against North Hobart.

“His last two years have been outstanding in the Devils program. This year he had some awesome games.

“He’s going to provide a lot of excitement for Richmond in their forward half. He’s a real Richmond type player with that leg speed and defensive pressure, and a really nice finisher.

“I’m really excited about what Seth is going to deliver at Richmond.”
