2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
