Australian rules: New Zealander lines up in AFL

Another New Zealander is about to step into big time Australian Rules football across the Tasman.

21 year old former Hamiltonian Adrian Campbell, whose childhood dream was to become an All Black, will make his AFL debut for Fremantle this weekend.

Campbell has been named on the bench in the Dockers line-up to take on Richmond at Subiaco Oval on Saturday, having only moved to Australia five years ago.

Campbell took up Aussie Rules because of a lack of rugby opportunities in Melbourne, and was drafted by Fremantle in 2003.
