Analysis Father Son Selections

[Tommycash]

Can't see Romero playing for the dogs. Apparently family is pretty upset at how Michael was treated.

Seems like, at least in 2013, they had forgiven the club. He was part of the father son academy thing at that stage.

Wow next year looks good. How are these guys doing?
Joshua Kellett - (2019 Draft)
Oliver Liberatore (2019 Draft)
Tyler Kolyniuk (2019 Draft)
Daniel Romero (2019 Draft)

All named on TAC Cup lists but only Romero has played as of yet.

Michael Romero was at Footscray in 2016 so this thing is more recent.

Can't follow this properly but looks like he hasn't done much in the last two years if it's up to date

If the Romero’s are just not pleased with the club for not drafting Michael then they are fools. If they are unhappy, surely there is more to it than that.

Michael was injured a lot in his VFL days and last year in TAC Cup
Hammy and ankle injuries i believe
play a couple of good development games for Nth Blues

 

[VitalDread]

Jacob Smith, son of Bulldogs great Rohan, added to the Footscray VFL list to cover departures (Matt Goodyear) and long-term injuries (Anthony Bruhn). Played three games for the Scrays last year.

fair to say if he had ability to get on an AFL list and Dogs over looked him someone else would have picked him up ?
Maybe just not good enough unfortunately

I think his mum made a comment on social media saying that the dogs told him to play school footy instead of TAC cup and then overlooked him. I guess the implication is that his development was stifled so the dogs could fly him under the radar.
Not sure how much truth there is to it or whether there is still ill will.

Doesn't make sense given we haven't done the same with other kids we viewed as 'locks' (Hunter & Rhylee West).

Rhylee is playing school footy over TAC cup and I think Hunter did the same. I think pretty much all private school students do it so to blame the club is a bit of a stretch on Mrs Romero's part

Rhylee is playing champs as well which is the complete opposite of being hidden.

Didn’t we do “something “ with Hunter? I seem to remember something about having him played out of position to work on his defensive game or similar. Could be wrong

He was definitely told to work on his defensive game but was racking up possessions so don't think he was too well hidden.
The only way we could hide Rhylee would be to get Bevo to coach the Jets so he could spend the year focusing on ruckwork.

already got Caleb as a backup

Tyler Kolyniuk is on the extended bench so I'm uncertain whether he will play or not.

Edit: Judging by the Jets twitter no but at least he is getting close.

Yeah the private school boys play TAC cup when there is no school footy so the first couple of rounds, any byes and the last few rounds plus finals.
Pretty sure Romero played a few games for Calder too so not really anything unusual with his situation.

 

[Wizard17]

Ewan Macpherson named on the half back flank for u16 metro in the first game of the u16 champs on the weekend.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Don’t all private school kids play that over TAC as part of their scholarship?

They all play APS over TAC Cup
