You might think that playing with or against your idols in a senior AFL team is just a dream.  But here's a couple of of Elite Baulko Juniors that are Very close to realising that dream!

Trent Stubbs (17yo) flies to Melbourne to start his Hawthorn career today (24 Nov 2009) at 2pm. The Hawks leadership group decided that he will be met at the airport by Luke Hodge and stay at his place tonight, in preparation for his First Training Session with the Hawthorn Hawks tomorrow!  Trent played with Baulko until 2008, and has since played for East Coast Eagles (debut in their Seniors in 2009), and was part of the AIS AFL under 17 team.

Earlier this month, Nathan "Nipper" Gordon (Played 206 games for Baulko, playing his last Under 16 game in 2006 - a Winning Grand Final) was elevated to the Swans Rookie List - fingers crossed he will hopefully have a run in season 2010 in the Swans Seniors (He played season 2009 in the Swans Reserves). - Read about Nathan's elevation to the rookie list here

More Swans news about Nathan with a video interview by Henry Playfair is available here.

The Baulko Family are Extremely Proud of Nathan and Trent, and wish them all the very best with their Football Careers.  They are both wonderful young men and a credit to their families.

Playing Footy for Baulko is a terrific experience on many levels, and there is always the chance that you might one day follow in Trent and Nathan's footsteps - Keep Dreaming!
