Robert "Trunks" Campbell (born 2 June 1983) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Hawthorn Hawks. A 199 cm tall ruckman, he made his AFL debut in 2002. After appearing sporadically for 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 2007 he became the Hawk's first choice ruckman with Peter Everitt's departure. He played in every game for the season, including 2 finals appearances.
"Trunks" has a reputation for providing value around the ground with his strength and tenacious attitude. Campbell was rewarded for his efforts with a premiership medallion after the Hawks upset Geelong in the 2008 grand final
In percentage terms, no other top AFL ruckman hits the ball to the advantage of his on-ballers more often than "Trunks". [http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/Defa...x?newsid=60362]
