Actually search says no. Just a discussion point after he was rated top 20 at the start of 2015, and went undrafted

Yeah no, I was aware of his being close in his draft year.
He passed away from cancer a while back didn’t he?
Oh, far out. That’s horrible.
According to Mr. Google, September 2019.
Along with Fark Carlton, I think we can all say Fark Cancer as well.

I’ve got a name from SA for you @benfti as a player in the 2022 draft. Ashley Wilson from West Adelaide he looks a player. A fair chance you already know about Isaac Keeler aswell from North Adelaide who got to play 18s this year aswell.

Port are having a decent crack at Jarrod Cameron. Is he any good and is he someone that we would be interested in?
if he would come we should be interested.
Cameron should get opportunities with Rioli potentially our for the 2021 season at eagles so would expect him to stay in WA.
same draft as mozzie a pick or two ahead i think. Debut against us and kicked a couple of goals.

Given some of the hacks that have carved us up over the last decade or so, that’s not really much of an endorsement.
I’m interested in what this means for Fantasia to Port?
Only 20, good bloodlines for a small forward, 12 games across his first 2 years with WCE for 13 goals (but only 2 in 5 games this year). Kicked 4 goals in a game twice last year. Averages >3 tackles.
Certainly something to work with.
Yeah he did unfortunately, was my little cousin.
Far out. So sorry for your loss.

Probably end up at Richmond. I thought the AFL were doing away with academies except for the Suns and GWS???
Didn’t know where to put it but may interest @benfti.
The SANFL clubs are increasing their footprint in the NT with a variety of programs and this is another initiative that hopefully one day leads to a NT side/s in the SANFL and SANFLW
The South Adelaide Football Club Under-18s will travel to Central Australia this weekend to play the Central Australian Football Club’s “Redtails Country under-20s” at Traeger Park, Alice Springs on Saturday night 6pm.
The trip will also include a visit to Uluru, the opportunity to conduct a football clinic at local communities and watch a match Yulara Flys v Mutitjula Cats at the Yulara football oval.
South Adelaide Football Manager Warren Ploenges said this is a positive start to the Club’s relationship with the Redtails.
“What a great opportunity for our under-18 players and staff to visit Australia’s centre. We are extremely grateful to the Redtails for providing this. It will be an invaluable experience which is greater than just football.”
In recent weeks the Club has hosted several Redtails senior players in its Reserve grade matches and is looking to continue this throughout the season.
South Adelaide also hosted the female equivalent the Pinktails in a game recently against Pulteney FC.
A match the Pinktails won comfortably under lights at Flinders University Stadium.
“There are clearly a few boys and girls with talent that we believe are good enough to play League football for South Adelaide and perhaps even higher,” said Ploenges.
“We hope this trip will help encourage young footballers from Alice Springs and the surrounding communities to chase their dreams and see the opportunities AFL can provide them on and off the field.”
The Redtails aim to create a football club incorporating the Right Tracks Program to drive change in the community of Central Australia.
Its main aim is to create a team that gives strong healthy pathways in behaviour, job readiness programs, healthy living and bridging the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Central Australians creating unity and pride throughout Central Australia and beyond.
This team allows its players to participate only if they are employed, studying or in the Right Tracks Program.
South Adelaide provided the kit and through a partnership with Puma all players were fitted out with new boots

Very big of the SANFL - South Australian National Football League - to consider having an interstate team.
Come on, any investment in those areas is a good thing.

@benfti I hope you are working those contacts feverishly and sifting through all the footage, because we’re gonna need the biggest and best hype thread you’ve ever unleashed on blitz to get us through 2021
