We started playing well enough as a team, that our hopes no longer rested solely with the sons of past greats, allocated at a meagre discount.What happened to this thread for 18 months?
I’m sure I heard somewhere along the line that Nick was being held out of rep footy, and was just going to play for school/APS.
Either way, you don’t go from all-world to can’t make the Oakleigh U16’s squad that quickly. Something doesn’t add up there.
I'd say it's more likely that his parents don't want him to become too footy focussed too early.It’s genius, don’t play rep footy so his draft stick doesn’t rise. All part of the plan so we only have to use pick 50 on him than pick 10

Kids grow up so fast.I'd be a bit concerned about Peter if he was trying to stop his 16 year old son's stick from rising.
Or even thinking about it for that matter!
It may depend on when and where it's rising. There are definitely some situations where you'd be uncomfortable if you noticed your son's stick rising
At his age, I think that horse has well and truly bolted.Maybe his parents don’t want his stick to rise too early.
Danihers werent father sons, except for the latest one. Cats may have had 2 Abletts, Scarlett and Hawkins - but not sure.Out of curiosity I wonder which side has had the most father sons in at one time, in one game?
Geelong must have been thereabouts, Essendon with Danihers...
We have had Moore Daicos Brown in a game.
What does that mean though? "Held back?"Peter told me last week at a function that he had been held back.
Not making the U16’s means very little anyway.
Ofcourse, yes you’re right.Danihers werent father sons, except for the latest one. Cats may have had 2 Abletts, Scarlett and Hawkins - but not sure.

I'm not familiar with how it all works.
It all started back when Geelong could get Hawkins (and others) as a father and son
he was tipped to go top 5 or 10 and Geelong were getting him for next to nothing so the others clubs were pissed off
so everyone (including our Mr President who should've kept quiet not thinking long term who we might've had coming through)
complained about it so it was brought in to bid for FS's and the FS club had to match
this is why most clubs hold them back so the other clubs don't see the potential so it doesn't cost the FS club a high pick
Or so they say
This poster blaze036 is a blast from the past, anyone know what the story is? 20k posts in 3 years then nothing for 5 years.Is Elijah Edwards still on a scholarship with us? Could be a smokey to watch if he grows 10cms and has a good season
And now he’s one of the more exciting CHB prospects in the game.Seems as though he will play CHB all year too!
Im not sure about everyone else but i find that exciting.
Interesting. Wouldn't you assume though that it doesn't make a difference? At some point Daicos would get to the TAC Cup (or NAB League, whatever) anyway, and any list manager or talent identification staff worth their salt would be aware of him anyway?

Probably got banned and then renamed himself. Did anyone come on board with really high posting numbers not long after he disappeared?
