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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
