Stats
Bio
A sharp-shooting forward recruited from South Ballarat, Campbell Brady provided a brief but bright spark for Melbourne during the 1913 season. Breaking into a Redlegs side that largely struggled against the competition's powerhouses, he immediately displayed a natural eye for the big sticks, booting 12 majors in just nine appearances to finish with a prolific strike rate for the deadball era. Brady operated effectively inside the forward 50, acting as a reliable avenue to goal in a team that often found scoring difficult, but his promising VFL tenure was restricted to a single winter. Despite appearing to be a long-term prospect for the club, he stepped away from league football after that debut season and eventually relocated to New South Wales.
