Braeden Campbell
Braeden Campbell was drafted with the fifth overall pick of the 2020 AFL Draft and has enjoyed an exciting start to life as a Swan. Recruited from Pennant Hills Demons, Campbell is revered for his brilliant versatility and exceptional left-foot kick. He made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 2021 season and was voted as the Round 2 NAB Rising Star nominee after recording 25 disposals and six marks against the Adelaide Crows. The 21-year-old has improved year on year missing just one match in 2023 and set several career-best performances in the process.

Happy Campbell household

Keen to see this bloke clocking them from 60 m out for the next decade

That boot

Big Blood · Dec 9, 2020

Two picks in the top five. Interesting speculation from the AFL.com team that this is part of Hawks' strategy, who are also eyeing Errol Campbell for their pick 24.

Campbell is the kind of explosive goalkicking mid that we badly need.

Kiama Chris · Dec 9, 2020

Campbell looks terrific as a player and as a young man. Doubt I've seen anyone happier and all his mates onside too.
He'll put the match committee under heaps of pressure.
Be interesting to see what position he starts in.
Also interesting that the Hawks bid on him at 5 rather than just taking their pick straight up. Been suggested that they are trying to "bankrupt" Swans and take Gulden. We'll never know.

Hope we can return the compliment to Hawthorn one day. Put this one in your little black book recruiting staff.

Forget who it was but the same was done with Mills. Pushed him way up.

This kid is quality and the one I'm most amped about. So happy to have him.

GoTheSwannies · Dec 9, 2020

Bloody pricks, if only we could have let them take him and poach him in a cpuple of years. Not the type of thing you'd do in reality, but geez, you'd love to be able to return the favour on a shady act like that

You suck Clarko

Yeah nah. That’s disrespectful to the boy and he might just start to like Hawthorn. Huge risk.

He’ll be a gun.

Absolutely, like I said, you don't do that in reality. No issue with matching whatsoever, but I just wish there was a consequence for a failed bid, especially when it's on the higher end of the draft.

caesar88 · Dec 9, 2020

He looks like he belongs in one of those boybands my little sister loves, but this kid is hard as nails. Could definitely see him playing round 1.

Has a bit of Sam Mitchell about him.

We haven't really discussed Campbell much as we all knew he'd be coming to the Swans but seriously this kid looks awesome. Raking left foot kick, hard as nails, elusive and deadly around goal. For some reason he made me think of Wayne Johnston, the dominator, who used to play for Carlton. He is going to add some extra pace and skill to our team. Also think he handballs beautifully as well and I like the unusual quirk with his bouncing of the ball. Unusual but effective.

I know it’s a highlight package, but it’s undeniably impressive

I don't think calling our new recruits c**ts is very nice

GoTheSwannies · Dec 9, 2020

Would have loved to have had both Campbell and Phillips in our midfield. As a duo they would have left midfielders in their dust and coaches scratching their heads.

Rewriting history here.

He was routinely touted as the best midfielder in his draft year, a particularly weak draft year, and the bid was expected and considered a no-brainer to match.

Ticky009 · Dec 10, 2020

Am still savouring the description of 'best kick in the draft'...because yeah, still traumatised by our entries into forward 50 sometimes.

RUNVS · Dec 10, 2020

Longmire - "Alright Campbell. We want you to shadow Florent for the entire preseason training. Watch how he kicks and learn from him"
