Thanks for this. Can you tell us a little more about Jack?

Parkside junior club, Scotch College, Oakleigh Chargers. Represented Vic metro u16's this year

Indigenous, 188cm, can take a speckie, given his light frame, think he is still growing

Oakleigh Chargers though….weird

Parkside in our zone? Assume it’s the one on the other side of Maribyrnong river across from Flemington

There's another one in Alphington, i think they're in the Northern Football league.
 
Any SANFL watchers know how far away the Camporeale brothers are off playing for Glenelg seniors next year?
Don’t expect them to play many games. Between club, school, representative games, juniors who are within the elite pathway programs have limits placed on them to the number of games they can play each year.
From what I’ve observed, they will both attract the ball at higher levels - whether they are physically ready for SANFL seniors, is another question. SANFL seniors is a significant step up physically from Coates League where most Vic juniors play their top age year.
I would say they are not dissimilar to Ollie Hollands when he arrived at Carlton this year.

Thanks. Alot of top SA prospects player league football in their draft year but the Campos are pretty light and Glenelg a good side. Plus I imagine every team has different approaches in terms of blooding younger players. Will be interesting. Would be a good experience for them to play against men.

Arrow, you know anything about a Yarrambat fc kid in our nga (surname: Fernando). I think u16. Been told he’s a good player with a great kick either side.

They were in the amo's a while ago if i remember.
They're in D1 ammos after just winning the D2 flag. Coached by a mate of mine Ricky Frost who played a few Melbourne reserves games back in the mid to late 90's and also South Fremantle before breaking his leg and forcing him into retirement. But has found his niche as a coach now and the kids down there love him.

Absolutely.
I also wonder if they will protect them a little more than normal given the father/son circumstances mean there’s little to be gained by them or Carlton from having them star at senior level.
 
Hopefully the AFL implement changes to F/S and academy picks in 2025.

We get to retain the discounts the end of this year to bid on the Campo twins - and in 2025, clubs are able to match bids on academy kids after pick 20, rather the current pick 40 - so we get greater access to players like Gresham, Ison and Fernando.

Not too much to ask as a greedy Blues supporter?

I just want all clubs to be equal.

But the Blues to be more equal than others... ;)
