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.

I mentioned him during the VFL game on the weekend. Loved his attack on the ball.

Like the look of Campbell Gray fella from Essendon. Not sure how old he is but he has a crack.

Must have picked him for the backline.

Are you Chris toce?

 

[TheCattery2007]

Thought he was going to Brisbane.

Started as a backline player, moved to the forward line about 4 weeks ago.

Has kicked 2, 3, 2 and 2 goals since…

Learns fast.

Very nice kid.

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.

 

[tiger_tough]

I looked him up on the weekend but could find **** all about him.

 

[tigs2010]

Are you Chris toce?

How do you pronounce that? Is it like Toes or To-Shay?

Write up about him on the Richmond website has him listed at 195cm.

Picked up two talls.

 

[eth-dog]

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