I don’t know about you, RPCB. But personally, I don’t like any media which uses the name Camporeale and the word “don” in the same sentence 😅

I say ban them from the Internet.
 
It’s looking more likely that Carlton will have to match a bid on father-son gun Ben Camporeale before its own natural first-round pick after the SA midfielder capped off a strong Under 18s carnival in fine style. Midfielder Camporeale was his side’s best player on Sunday, finishing with a team-high 29 disposals, 10 contested possessions, seven marks and seven inside 50s. It meant he finished his four-game carnival averaging 26.8 disposals per outing.
Most scouts spoken to by foxfooty.com.au in the 15 to 25 ranking range at this stage of the season.

 
Kako and Travaglia sound nice prospects for our list deficiencies.
Surely we’ll try hard to get ahead of Ben Campo bid

I’m keen on kako. Plays very up tempo and only needs half a chance to kick a goal. He’s risen up draft boards and could be an option before Ben.

The Camporeale boys look good. Voss is going to really like Ben IMO. He's a really big strong bodied midfielder who can really run and tackles well. He's going to be a really big strong mid. He seems to have clean hands which is a must for an inspiring onball player. Reminds me of Bontempelli with his body shape and the way he can move like that and handle the ball under pressure. Very physically advanced. Reckon the coach is going to love him. Definitely a maybe for AFL games next season. I actually think he's going to be a very special player. Guys this big and strong who have really clean hands and move like this, he's quick and has really good lateral movements, they aren't that common. He ticks a lot of boxes as a potential gun AFL mid.

Ben is going to suite our list. He's going to allow us to let some mids go. He's going to be putting pressure on the bottom end of our onball group. He's going to be peaking when Cripps and Kennedy are waning. I see him becoming one of our prime ball winners in there when this is happening.

Lucas looks more like Scott. A fair bit bigger but moves in a similar fashion. Looks like a winger or half back. Think he needs a bit of development. His kicking isn't that great. His poise, footy IQ and ball handling seem to be fine.

5 years time, our prime movers in the middle could be Walsh, Hollands, Camporeale and possibly Wilson.

I think both players in an AFL environment will flourish.

Sorry to butt in but, this year's U16's carnival (of which Cody has been playing in) will be the last to see its combatants be taken in a national draft the Tassie Devils won't be part of.

FWIW, the year Tassie makes its AFLM debut, (2028) that year will see Lucas Koutoufides eligible and, the following year, (2029) will see Arli Walker eligible.

He plays Basketball. That’s his sport.

Hopefully Anthony and Jamie point at history and set expectations higher. If he doesn't meet them, he can wander over to footy where his likely athleticism is more suited before he stacks on the wrong kind of muscle.

That being said, he's clearly playing YJFL this year and going over 2 goals a game, albeit the league is still mixed at that grading.

I hope he does well at Aussie Rules, but can’t blame him if his passion is elsewhere. But I guess we will see in the coming years.
