No worries, it says the same thing in this article!! I'm quite sure it isn't correct, but just asked on the Port board and had it pretty much confirmed that it isn't right. Wikipedia has Mark playing 6 games in 1992, but not being a premiership player:

I do remember Mark as being a friendly and likeable type, someone who was always happy to have a chat.

Would love us to draft Kade.

Would love us to draft Kade.

It sounds like he's got enough going for him that someone will pick him up. Given the family history he may be hoping he gets to Port Adelaide. Someone on the Port board (in responding to my query about his father) said their "resident draft guru" wasn't keen on him, calling him a "ball butcher"!

POSITION: Small Utility



SNAPSHOT: “Dib has proven himself to be one of the more versatile prospects in the 2021 draft pool, playing across all thirds of the ground to a high level”



Collingwood Next Generation Academy (NGA) candidate Youseph Dib has performed at every level he’s played, even back in the Under 16 national championships where he earnt himself All Australian honours. Dib is one of the few 18-year-old prospects to have played at VFL level this year, running out four times for Collingwood, averaging nine disposals and kicking 4.3 playing predominantly as a small forward. On top of such runs on the board as a forward, Dib’s performances for the Chargers in the midfield and the backline have also been promising, giving Pies fans plenty to get excited about.



STRENGTHS:

+ Versatility
+ Agility
+ Toughness
+ Tackling
+ Ground level play



IMPROVEMENTS:

– Size
– Kicking Consistency



Dib, a small utility tied to Collingwood’s NGA, has consistently stepped up to the level of competition he’s played over the years, never looking out of place whether employed in the NAB League, VFL or for Vic Metro. His ability to be a ‘plug and play’ type made him a rare asset at each level, and one who used his core traits to adapt quickly in different situations. Dib has been used in all thirds of the ground across the year, but arguably looks his best in the forward line where he can best utilise his creativity, zip, and ground level nous.



In the elite system, Dib’s versatility will be his biggest advantage when looking to break into an AFL side, having played all across the ground and looking quite comfortable in any position. His work rate to apply pressure and tackle means the opposition never has an easy possession when he’s around, and Dib is as competitive as anyone despite his stature. Standing at just 174cm, the 18-year-old may be made a small forward at the next level, and his size may limit how much midfield time he’ll be able to play.



There has also been recent success in some smaller players employed in defence at AFL level, with the likes of Caleb Daniel leading the way. While a different player to Daniel, Dib could also fill a role in the backline with the aforementioned work rate and tackling strength already at high levels. However, he would first need to find some more consistency in his use by foot, where he can be prone to floating his kicks or grubbing them along the ground. He has the positive trait of being dual-sided, but can certainly sharpen his execution going forward from the contest.



Dib’s athletic traits are eye-catching, with his speed and agility making him a tricky opponent to prevent moving around the ground or through the contest. In congestion, he can step around opponents with ease and move the ball on once he gets space, where his instinct to use either side of his body when disposing of the ball allows him to do some remarkable things. Despite his height, Dib also has quite a mature build and is capable of winning contested ball. He even seems to thrive off it and is pretty powerful among the thing of things.



DRAFT PROJECTION: Late/Rookie



SUMMARY:

Dib has the safety net of being tied to an AFL club already, and his eligibility has somewhat flown under the radar given how much attention is sent the way of Oakleigh teammate and Collingwood father-son candidate, Nick Daicos. In an ideal world, the Magpies will be able to pick up Dib as a rookie, though some clubs may be tempted to place a bid in the incredibly even National Draft given his competitiveness, versatility, and athletic attributes.

 

[whiskeytown]

I reckon 100% the club takes Dib. Been around the club for a while and appeared in promo stuff

Reckon his future is as a small lockdown defender for the oppositions goal sneaks... he’ll keep up with them and monster them in the one on ones

don't tell Scodog this because he reckons Dib is no good, lol

 

[HFF]

If Dib can be a small forward at the top level that would be perfect for our list build,

 

[JOELY]

don't tell Scodog this because he reckons Dib is no good, lol

Pretty sure the article backs up exactly what scodog was saying, that he is a late/rookie pick.

 

[mike123]

The American leagues are the only relevant ones, as they're the ones with drafts. I'd need to look it up with soccer, but I suspect most sons of stars begin at their dad's main club. They do in non draft basketball leagues. It's a really nice tradition.

Depends allot of soccer players are from abroad so their sons don’t grow up in the same city their club is based in but their are examples like Maldini’s. Most sons of stars play with their academy of their dads club whilst they’re there.

 

[manicpie]

Pretty sure the article backs up exactly what scodog was saying, that he is a late/rookie pick.

Yeah, but he will be a good late pick, I would seriously doubt Sco has ever seen him live so I can't take his word for it

 

[Matt_352]

If Dib can be a small forward at the top level that would be perfect for our list build,

If he be an A grade back pocket or forward pocket be a massive win

 

[The Royal Sampler]

don't tell Scodog this because he reckons Dib is no good, lol

What’s not to tell? The projection was late-to-rookie.

 

[Jen2310]

I'm pretty psyched to be able to get Dib. He is a type we need and would benefit from.
I'd think we will take him with a late pick, even our last pick whatever that may be.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

If he be an A grade back pocket or forward pocket be a massive win

Getting an A-grade anything with a throw away pick is a massive win.

 

[Football God]

Will Elliot, oakleigh chargers. Hine will be frothing already.

I haven’t read the rest of this thread so apologies if it’s been asked. Does that make him an Academy player for us as he’s a Chargers boy?

 

[Jen2310]

No.
Only certain players are. If they are multicultural, and I think we choose specific players to be in the academy. But wouldn't it be nice if just because you play for the chargers, we can have access to. Heh
Oakleigh is just the area we have a zone in. That stems from the YJFL

 

[The Royal Sampler]

^ And if he ended up top 40 we wouldn’t be able to match a bid, regardless.

Thanks for all that Jen!

 

[Jen2310]

Yeah it's unfortunately being raised to top 40 next year. This stems all because JUH happened to be the #1 pick last year.

You still invest in it though, just even to do your part in contributing more multicultural players to the league. Even if you don't have access to the top level ones.

Of course TD but the AFL can't have the rest of the competition catching up to the Northern States advantages.
