Media Career
Following his retirement from VFL/AFL football, Campbell has worked primarily as a television sports commentator, particularly for Australian rules football. He has also performed as an MC at sporting events, most commonly at boxing matches, including the Anthony Mundine-Darmel Castillo fight on 2 February 2005.
Since the late 1990s, Campbell has been most noted for his Australian rules football commentary, first with the Seven Network, then Fox Footy. Originally based in Brisbane, he moved to Melbourne in early 2002.
In January 2006, Campbell was a replacement host on SEN 1116's Hungry for Sport program, but the closure of Fox Footy in October 2006 left him without regular TV commentary work. In 2007 he provided occasional commentary for ABC-TV telecasts of the Victorian Football League Match of the Day.
With the sudden death of friend and former colleague Clinton Grybas in early 2008, Campbell joined the Fox Sports regular AFL commentary team.
In the late 2000s (decade) he became a spokesman for online Australian sports betting agency Sportsbet.

“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
