Add to that Andrew Walker’s boy Cody, 2 years’ after Campo’s boys, and we might have 3 quality sons coming through at the one time.
Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com
Based on watching that game and looking at their stats in sanfl under 18s here is my brief write up of both campos
Ben Camporeale
Position: On-ball / Wing
Strengths: Hands at Ground Level, Clearance Work, Size, Disposal (long penetrating right foot kick), Accumulation (reads the play really well), Balanced Mid (Can win the ball in tight but also receive and carry the ball)
Opportunities: Forward Impact, Kicking Consistency
Plays Like: Marcus Bontompelli
Draft Range: Top 10 - 2nd Round
Lucas Camporeale
Position: Wing
Strengths: Disposal, Vision, Quick
Opportunities: Versatility, Contested Work
Plays Like: Lachie Hunter
Draft Range: 2nd Round - Rookie Draft
Seen a few questions about their running. Both looking like good runners and are quick without being super-fast. Lucas needs to finds a 2nd position. I'd like to see him play off-half back next year as that would suit our list needs too. He's very outside at the moment. Ben looks like a pretty complete player but if he could have more impact forward as a mid that would take him to another level.
Obviously based off very limited viewing.

I wonder if Lucas can be developed into an eventual replacement for Saad when he retires...
Ben clearly going to be in that inside-outside mix with Walsh and Hollands.

And to think Cody Walker is meant to be the best of our upcoming F/S selections. A prime Walks would be absolutely perfect for us atm. 3rd tall fwd who can go down back and play through the middle.

Wow great to hear the Campo boys did well. We are due for some luck with F/S and NGA.
Is Ben now more advanced than Lucas?

I heard or read somewhere that AW1’s son is some freak runner too. Suits the modern game. AW1 was a huge professional with his preparation so he’d have the ability to prepare his son for the rigours of footy better than most should his talent be up to scratch.
Exciting times!
Was a little concerned Lucas was TOO outside. Actually has HBF seagull written all over him.
Couldn’t be more impressed by Ben. Could play wing, but far from a classic winger in attitude. No attempt to hold width, as opposed to his brother. When starting on wing was quick off the mark to get in to the thick of things. Is a ball hunter type.
While not hitting every target, the greatest plus for me was the penetration of both boys’ disposal. Neither sought dinky little kicks, all looked to positive targets and both literally capable of a flat 50 metre spot up.

I blame Brian Cook for this
Cody is the one for me, tracking really well, huge xfactor
Wasn't Lucas the higher achiever before 2023?
Yeah. He made under 16 AA and Ben didn't.

It’s about time we had some decent Father & Son - I’ve been jealous of other teams in recent years
No confirmation but they are both big carlton supporters and have trained with us. Would be shocked if they didn't nominate us.
It's pretty rare that father sons choose to go open draft. Murphy did but we guaranteed to take him 1 so he could stay in Vic plus his family never considered the Lions part of Fitzroy (he was a roos supporter).
It's a massive advantage particularly if one is a top 10 talent and it happens at a time we wouldnt normally have access to that level of talent. Keeps our window open longer

Everything suggests that they will be happy to come to us. Apart from training with us etc it's probably the most likely way that they can end up playing their footy together.

I think you have made a comment regarding this in the past and i wondered then. Why? Interested to hear your thoughts.
What makes a 1st next year, more valuable this year? There is F/S’s and academy picks every year.

As in ignore mids this and next year or target KPD and small forwards this year? How do you think it will play out?

And Dunkley only went to the open draft as the Swans didn’t want him
