THE most decorated player in Northern Territory football is bound for Calivil in a reunion with his former coach and current Demons’ mentor Ant Dennis.
Cam Ilett will line up for Calivil in next weekend’s round seven clash against Inglewood.
The 58-game with Port Adelaide in the South Australian league has been playing in the Northern Territory since 2001.
His Top End career 10 premierships and six team of the year selections, four as captain, and multiple league best and fairest medals.
“If ever the AFL recruiting scouts have got it wrong it is that Cameron has never been drafted. But their bad luck is the football people of Darwin’s good luck,” Northern Territory fans have said of his career.
Ilett played three seasons with Tongala when Dennis had the coaching reins and was called up for a game with Essendon reserves in 2021. Last season he also played with South Cairns kicking 32 goals in 12 games.
The Calivil-Inglewood clash looms as key for the fortunes of both teams this season.
A win to Inglewood will consolidate its hold on fifth spot while victory to the Demons will keep the young side in touch with middle-tier teams and show there are prospects of improvement.
