After appearing sporadically in his first few seasons, Campbell starred in 2006 with 230 disposals and 300 hit outs, playing in each of the club's 22 games.

In percentage terms, no other AFL ruckman hits the ball to the advantage of his on-ballers more often than Campbell according to jini.

Tough competitor who handles the ball well for his size, tackles ferociously and can fill key-position roles when needed.

Robbie announced his retirement at the 2009 Hawthorn Peter Crimmins Medal Count on 3 October due to a knee injury.

He returned to football in 2010 playing in finals and including 8 games for the Box Hill Hawks (VFL) after finding out his knee wasn't as bad as they first thought.
