Scott Camporeale, Mil Hanna, Ian Robertson and Jack Wrout (dec.) will all be acknowledged at the prestigious event to be hosted at the Athenaeum Theatre. 

A premiership star and pioneer of the game is also set to be elevated to Legend status on the night.

Scott Camporeale

Taken with his club’s opening selection (15^thoverall) in the 1995 National Draft, Scott Camporeale fitted hand-in-glove with the Princes Park powerhouse that was Carlton in ’95.  

Considered extremely unlucky not to have taken out the League’s Rising Star Award, “Campo” ultimately earned the trophy that mattered most in 1995 as an esteemed member of the Premiership Cup-winning “Record Breakers”.

Adjudged Carlton’s Best First Year player, Camporeale would later land his club’s highest individual honor – the Robert Reynolds Trophy – in a tie with Brett Ratten.

That was in 2000, the same year Camporeale earned All-Australian selection.

In the end, 233 games and 200 goals through 11 seasons at Carlton capped an outstanding League career with the old dark Navy Blues, for the man remembered endearingly as “Campo”.

Mil Hanna

Born in Lebanon, but raised a stone’s throw from the old Princes Park ground in East Brunswick, Milham Hanna joined Carlton having earned All-Australian status as a Teal Cup player. And yet he was an early casualty of a brutal, unforgiving competition when his knee gave way on senior debut for Carlton in the opening round of 1986. 

Retained by the Blues, Hanna repaid the faith when he resumed in the 7^th round of the 1987 season - and by ’89 he was a Carlton regular, predominantly off a wing as a loping, long-kicking type. The bald man in the lucky No.13 dark Navy Blue guernsey.

Hanna featured in 19 senior games in 1993, including the Grand Final, and would later appear in all matches. He would then turn out in all senior games in 1994 and ’95 – including the ’95 Grand Final fondly remembered as “Sweet Sixteen”.

The curtain came down on Mil’s 190-game Carlton career in 1997 – but the boy from East Brunswick still maintains his love for the club with which he shares a deep-rooted territorial link.

Ian Robertson

Born in suburban Footscray in 1946, Ian Robertson spent his formative years in the lush farming locale of Wonthaggi – and made real in-roads as a teenage footballer chasing the leather for nearby Dalyston.

Robertson’s father forwarded a letter to the Bulldogs requesting a trial game for his son, but when it wasn’t met with a reply, he fired another one off to Carlton – and Captain-Coach Ron Barassi extended an invite to Princes Park.

Impressed with the youngster’s commitment as much as his capability, Barassi arranged for “Robbo” to sign then and there on the spot - and the rest, as they say, is football history.

Completing his senior debut against Richmond at the MCG on Anzac Day 1966, Robertson was adjudged Terry Ogden Medallist for Carlton’s Best First Year Player. Renowned for his running capacity and prodigious, penetrating kicking, ensured that he was a fixture in a famed centerline comprising Bryan Quirk and Garry Crane through what was arguably Carlton’s greatest era.

The Grand Final triumphs of 1968, ’70 and ’72 would crown a 125-game Carlton career for Robertson, whose later football life involved gamecalling for the Seven Network.

Jack Wrout (dec.)

John Everett (Jack) Wrout first embarked on a senior League career at North Melbourne in 1931, but after 53 games in six seasons with the Shinboners, became increasingly frustrated with lack of opportunity. 

In 1936, Wrout crossed to Carlton and emerged as a star forward in the Blues’ 1938 Grand Final team, which broke the club’s record 22-year Premiership drought. Five years later, he took the honors as his club’s leading goalkicker.

While a broken leg put paid to his on-field career in 1944, Jack would spend the remainder of his life serving his beloved Navy Blues; first as a tough, canny committeeman, then later as a legendary chairman of selectors.

Wrout was elected to the club committee in 1958 and went on to hold the position of Vice-President for twenty years. Throughout that time, which saw the 1968, ’70 and ’72 flags unfurled at Princes Park, Jack commanded respect as a highly-respected, no-nonsense chairman of selectors – and a steadying counter balance to the bull in the china shop who was Ron Barassi.

In 1978, after more than 30 years of committed service to the Carlton Football Club, Jack resigned from the committee due to ill-health, and was replaced by the late Wes Lofts.
