My nephew made the Level One squad this year and they are currently touring NZ, training and playing. Level One players are the Top 30 picked from the Under 16's while Level Two are a year older and eligible for this year's draft.

No idea if Ben is any good but from what I've heard he's a ripper kid with good head on his shoulders. Wish him all the best

Ben Lennon (left) and Nick Bourke have spent the week at Tigerland as part of their AFL-AIS scholarship.
Ben Lennon and Nick Bourke, members of the AFL’s AIS Academy Squad, have joined in with the Tigers’ training sessions, conditioning and recovery sessions.
They have also had access to the Club’s coaches and development staff to enhance their skills.
The AIS youngsters will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Trent Cotchin and Liam McBean, who trained with Richmond as members of the academy before later being drafted to Tigerland.

Lennon looks like some John McCarthy-Mark Bosnich hybrid swamp child.

Lennon I thought was a top 10 pick. Would be more than handy!
