Analysis Father Son Selections

[stefoid]

Croft did look more confident in this game. He seems mobile enough, but it’s hard to tell from the one camera setup how much running he’s doing.

3 goals takes him to 9 goals in 9 games for the season.

Two of his goals came from free kicks, one from a tackle winning a HTB and the other from being tackled without the ball in a groundball contest after a marking attempt. Looked relatively nimble in the bit of play with the HTB.

Still pretty lean, as you’d expect for a bottom ager his height.

shave his head and send him to the backline

199cm elite runner … sounds like he belongs on a wing to me.

Nahum more thinking Interceptor / rebound KPD for mine. Run the KPF into the ground

I predict by the end of 2025 we should be able to have at least a 60% F/S team.

IF the AFL don't further screw the F/S system like some of the interstate clubs want.

That should keep us in good spirits until Boxing Day.

Did they play 100 games with us?

Another late growth spurt on the cards then?

It’s the spirit of the 97-98 team channeled into their progeny.

Andrew Nichol played 3 games

If only the West twins had come on, that would have been such a boost to our f/s percentage

Footscray hoping the West twins join them this off-season

Is there only one shot at F/S drafting (i.e. their initial draft year), or can they nominate as F/S rookies after that, so there is a guaranteed path to their father's club (as long as they remain undrafted to an AFL club)?

Many sons of Bulldogs playing in the AFL these last few years who’s dads never played enough games to qualify for father/son or we didn’t pick. The Reid brothers Sam and Ben, Alex Rance, Dan Hannerbury, the deKonning brothers Sam and Tom, Darcy McPherson.

There’s a cut off age, maybe 21 from memory. I don’t think for example Liam Picken still qualified for pies when we took him

Super Mac played enough games - 188.

Darcy had a shoulder issue in his draft year and we had a surplus of players like him on the list at the time, so the club overlooked him. We were only willing to offer a VFL list spot at the time like Ewan.

Is there another West son younger than the twins?

Mitch Georgiades goes ok too

Levi. Think he's 3 or 4 years away.

Looks good so far

Cheers, thought something like that was the case, just couldn't remember.

Yep, Levi

Kid dominated the NGA series a few months ago, amazing outside speed

Most of Cooney shot on goals came off Levi boot

Commentator 2025: "Darcy gets the hitout to R.West, who handballs to Liberatore, another handball to L.West, another handball to Eagleton out wide, who kicks long to the square... and Croft marks! Croft plays on, handballs to Cooney, who GOALS!"
