Mail made his senior SANFL debut in 1991 aged 16 years and 95 days, becoming the seventh youngest footballer in SANFL history.
A South Australian Teal Cup representative under the coaching of four-time Magarey Medallist and SANFL legend Russell Ebert, Mail played as a rover, forward and defender and was selected by Adelaide at #27 in the 1993 Pre-Season Draft.
