2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
