Unofficial Preview SEASON 2025 - Best 22, Game Plan, Personnel

[Bloods86]

I’ll say this, I’d prefer Campbell to have the odd run through the midfield at a centre bounce than Gulden.

Having said that, I’m not aware of Campbell lighting up games in the midfield in reserves, in the same way that say Mitchell used to. And he doesn’t appear to be one of those players that creates time and space. And he is never going to be a defensive mid.

I’d be pretty happy with Campbell playing half forward. He would do no harm than studying Okeefe when he played half forward. He could also really extend opposition defence, as you can’t let Campbell loose 60 metres out - he’ll make the distance.

Yeah I don't see him getting midfield time (very different type to Mitchell anyway), but he doesn't need to play there, he can just be tried at half forward which is where he also played before drafting (as well as outside mid). Especially when we've been complaining about a lack of smaller fwd options.
