If you want further proof of just how well Seth Campbell is going in his second season at senior level with Richmond, here it is.
The exciting forward, who won the Cosgrove-Jenkins award in 2024 as the Club’s best first year player, has become the youngest Tiger to score a dozen goals or more one-third of the way through a season since the great Dustin Martin in 2011.
Campbell was 20 years and 126 days of age when he kicked his 12th goal of the 2025 season in the Round 8 clash with Hawthorn at the MCG. He is Richmond’s leading goalkicker to this point of the season with 12, three ahead of Tom Lynch on nine, followed by Sam Lalor, seven.
Dusty was 19 years and 323 days old when he cracked the dozen-goal mark a third of the way into the 2011 season (he finished with a total of 33 for the season).
Other Richmond players to have achieved this feat throughout the past 60 decades, before they turned 21 years of age, are:
Ty Vickery in 2011, 20 years, 349 days, 12 goals to the one-third stage of the season (36 in total for the season).
Brad Ottens in 2000, 20 years, 96 days, 18 goals (30 for the season).
Matthew Richardson in 1994, 19 years, 55 days, 24 goals (56 for the season).
Chris Naish in 1991, 19 years, 227 days, 14 goals (38 for the season).
Stephen James in 1985, 20 years, 48 days, 24 goals (49 for the season).
Brian Taylor in 1982, 20 years, 28 days, 31 goals (71 for the season).

Royce Hart in 1967, 19 years, 113 days, 22 goals (55 for the season).
