The Gold Coast Suns are reportedly keen on hiring former Richmond captain Wayne Campbell as their GM of football.
Having most recently worked as GWS’ footy boss from 2017 to 2019, Campbell is considered the favourite for the vacant Suns position.
Prior to taking up the Giants role, Campbell was the head of umpiring for the AFL for two years, where he formed a close relationship with both Suns CEO Mark Evans and list boss Craig Cameron.
Due to his ties with the key Gold Coast pair, SEN’s Sam Edmund believes Campbell “is going to be the man” for the job.
“I think Wayne Campbell is going to be the man,” Edmund said on SEN’s Crunch Time.
“I say going to be, he’s the raging favourite at the moment.
“It’s too strong to say it’s his job if he wants it, but he is the likely candidate here.
“He’s based in Sydney and got his family in Sydney so there’s some considerations there from a personal perspective.
“We know he left GWS with a year to run on his contract in 2019, but if the Suns have a preference, it’s going to be Wayne Campbell.”
Cameron is currently standing in on the GM of football role on an interim basis with a permanent appointment to be named shortly.
