Campbell Chesser (born 27 April 2003) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), having originally been drafted to West Coast. He plays primarily as a midfielder.
Chesser is originally from the Albury suburb of Lavington, New South Wales, located on the Victoria-New South Wales border. [1] He demonstrated his football talent early on, becoming the Vic Country co-captain alongside Ben Hobbs and an All-Australian at under-16 level. [2] He attended Melbourne Grammar. Despite a knee injury and limited play time due to COVID-19, [3] he was drafted from the Sandringham Dragons to the West Coast Eagles with the 14th pick in the 2021 national draft. [4]
After missing his first season with injury, [5] Chesser debuted in the first round of the 2023 AFL season in a close game against the North Melbourne Football Club, finishing with 5 disposals and 3 marks. Following a successful 2024 in which he managed 18 AFL appearances, Chesser underwent ankle surgery prior to the start of the 2025 AFL season. He returned late in the year and was a shining light for the Eagles in his four matches played. [6]
Chesser, whose contract with the West Coast Eagles ended in 2025, [7] [8] requested a trade to Carlton following the conclusion of the 2025 AFL season. [9] [10] He was officially traded to Carlton on 10 October. [11]
