The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    For the benefit of people new to the club and for the removal of any doubt, Tom Campbell is the ruckman on the left in the photograph.

    Fortunately not needed in ‘25 but he played some dominant games for Casey and after all he is our Max Gawn insurance.

    Exactly right. He is doing his job which it's to be ready if called upon. Milton said: "they also serve who only stand and wait". Apparently Max refuses to be "managed" so Campbell doesn't get a go. Not his fault.

    I took a shine to Campbell when he arrived at the club (no idea why, since I'm based in Sydney and no longer use social media outside of Demonland 😅). Glad he's here to provide positive leadership and role model a team first attitude / selflessness!

    He sure is. Tom is Ben Brown version 2.0 and it’s no surprise they’re very close friends.

    TC’s social consciousness and his unprejudiced views are being exposed to our players and the young players especially will benefit greatly from this.

    IMHO

    A bit D & M quoting one of the classic English poets in a footy site. Better the D&M than the usual B&D though, maybe.

    But nonetheless true. Majak was another who was there but not required, and also a great training foil for Max. Brundy not so.

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
