Teammates of South Fremantle Colts player Nick Campo will push through their grief and take to the field on Saturday, saying they want to honour the late teen by playing.
Campo, 18, was killed in a car crash in North Lake on Saturday, an incident that also left teammate Tyler Rowe fighting for life in hospital.
Their club said it had been working closely with its playing group, coaches, welfare resources and football stakeholders to determine whether Saturday’s game against Subiaco would go ahead at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

“The Campo family and our colts squad have communicated a strong desire for the game to proceed in tribute to Nick and in support of teammate Tyler Rowe, who is still fighting in hospital,” the club said.
“Following all available welfare advice and with our players’ strong desire to honour their mate at the forefront of our decision, the South Fremantle vs Subiaco Colts game will proceed.
“Our priority remains our players, staff and families involved in this terrible tragedy and as such, we fully support taking the field tomorrow.”
A moment of silence is scheduled for 8.50am, prior to the first bounce.
The club previously shared its “deep shock” over the death of Campo on Farrington Rd last Saturday.
“Nick was a bright young man with true talent and a love for football,” South Fremantle said.
“He came through our talent pathway and played colts at South Fremantle for the past two years.
“His loss has been felt heavily across the football, cricket, and wider WA communities.
“Our thoughts and focus remain with Nick’s family, friends, teammates and our South Fremantle community at this extremely sad and difficult time.
“We also send our love and support to our two injured colts players, as they continue their fight to recover from this tragic accident.
“Nick Campo, Southerner forever more.”
Campo’s parents Bianca and Daniel Campo are still trying to make sense of their son’s tragic death, but hope the tragedy serves as a wake-up call to young drivers on the road.
“It’s something we never thought would happen to us and we don’t want it to happen to any other parent,” Mr Campo said.
“We see it every day – young kids think they’re bulletproof. They’re not. They’re not experienced enough to drive cars with others in the back, distracted, talking on their phones, running red lights, hooning. It’s got to stop.”
Three other teens injured involved in the crash are stable and a 17-year-old driver has been charged.
