Melbourne added depth and maturity to its ruck stocks by signing journeyman Tom Campbell in the 2024 free agency period. The 201cm man mountain arrives with a wealth of experience, tallying 58 senior games to date. He was initially selected by the Bulldogs with pick No.27 in the 2012 Rookie Draft, before making the move to Arden St at the end of 2018. He joined St Kilda ahead of the 2022 season. Campbell has an existing relationship with club captain and ruck leader Max Gawn, with the two having crossed paths while playing for the Sandringham Dragons in 2009.
