Campbell Brown (born 28 August 1983) is an Australian rules footballer who has previously won a premiership with the Hawthorn Football Club and currently plays for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
Brown is the son of Australian rules football player and West Australian Football League Hall of Famer Mal Brown, and attended Scotch College, Melbourne and Deakin University where he studied Sports Management.
Hawthorn career (2002–2010)
Brown wore the number 30 guernsey and became noted for his overall aggression and toughness. He debuted for the Hawks in 2002, and received a nomination for the Rising Star award.
Brown was in the squad for the Australian international rules football team which competed in the International Rules Series in 2006.
In 2007 Brown held down the difficult Centre Half Back position for Hawthorn, a tough feat for a man of his size, and was awarded a place in the All-Australian team for his efforts. The same year, Brown was fined $15,000 for giving misleading information to the AFL Tribunal about a misconduct charge on then West Coast (now Carlton) star Chris Judd. Vision appeared to show Judd's hand on Brown's face with fingers around Brown's eyes. Brown's evidence at the Tribunal led to the charge against Judd being dropped.
He was part of the Hawthorn premiership team of 2008 that beat Geelong.
During trade week 2009, Brown was controversially purported to have been put up for trade by Hawthorn for Port Adelaide star Shaun Burgoyne. Hawthorn fans erupted and Brown was shocked. Hawthorn President Jeff Kennett was moved to ring up a dedicated sports radio station covering the backlash from this story (having earlier reported it as fact) and publicly deny these reports. The story has since been established by Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson as a falsehood.
Gold Coast Suns (2011–present)
On 7 September 2010 it was rumored that Brown would be leaving the Hawks to join the new AFL club, the Gold Coast Suns. On 14 September 2010, Brown declined a contract offer from Hawthorn, which then led to him signing a contract with Gold Coast.
In his second game for Gold Coast, Brown was suspended for four weeks. The AFL match review panel handed Brown a two-match suspension for an off-the-ball elbow to Callan Ward's face and a further two for a high bump on Barry Hall as he bent over to gather the ball.
On 6 August 2011, Brown broke his pelvis while playing against Geelong at Skilled Stadium. The injury ended his 2011 season.
In November 2013 following a pre-season camp in Arizona, Brown was accused of breaking the jaw of a team mate, Steven May during a fight in Los Angeles.
