Talented, young forward Seth Campbell made an impressive debut for Richmond in last Saturday’s opening round match against Gold Coast with two top-class goals. Richmond Media caught up with him post-game for an appraisal of his debut appearance.  Here is what he had to say . . .

His first goal in AFL football, from a clever snap

“I just played with instinct and the ball ended up in my lap. I was in a good position and just snapped it over the shoulder . . . Seeing it going through, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to celebrate . . . The boys just got around me and it was unbelievable.”

Strong support from Tiger teammates

“They supported me. Every time I got the ball or with my rotations or playing my structure, the boys helped me with everything like that, and they made it easier for me.”

His second goal, from a set shot

“That was awesome. That was us on the comeback and we had the momentum and it just felt awesome with the Tiger Army getting behind us.”

Easing the nerves

“It was after I kicked that first goal, everything just dropped, and I was just playing footy like I’ve been doing.

Thriving on the quick tempo

“It was very fast. I didn’t really realise how much I was running because the adrenalin was just going the whole game. But it was awesome . . . amazing. I loved every minute of it.”
