Teams

Hailing from Cohuna in northern Victoria, Joe Campbell was a mature-age recruit who earned a brief opportunity with St Kilda during the 1920 VFL season. Arriving at the Junction Oval at the age of 27, he was brought into the side as the Saints struggled near the bottom of the ladder, eventually finishing the year with just two wins. Campbell was tested at senior level for two matches as the club looked to bolster its playing stocks, but he was unable to impact the scoreboard or secure a permanent place in the lineup. His stint in the top flight was fleeting, and he drifted out of the VFL system after his short trial, leaving with just the pair of appearances to his name.
