Campbell Chesser (born 27 April 2003) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). He plays mostly as a midfielder.

Early football

[edit]

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 AFL Draft.[4]

AFL career

[edit]

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. Chesser is currently signed on with the West Coast Eagles until 2025.[6][7]
