Checkside Chats with Ben and Lucas Camporeale

By ZAC MILBANK

Ben and Lucas Camporeale might be able to finish off each other’s sentence but they are also keen to forge their own identities as their footy careers begin to flourish.

The Glenelg twins, sons of Carlton premiership great Scott Camporeale, certainly have their similarities but once you scratch the surfaces, their differences also become evident.

Tune in to the latest edition of Checkside Chats to find out how they have driven one another to the point they are in the frame to be chosen as father-son selections by the Blues in November.

Ben, who has suffered a hamstring strain, is pushing to be available for the Tigers should they qualify for the SANFL U18 Grand Final, leaving Lucas to fly the flag in Saturday’s Second Semi-Final against Central District.

This will give Lucas a valuable opportunity to work on the ”inside” element of his game while Ben stays involved to assist the coaching staff against the Bulldogs.
