Analysis Father Son Selections

[flipper83]

Willson is 15s, he would love a growth spurt like his older brother because right now he is tiny compared to his teammates

Thanks edps, what's his game like? Anything to get excited about it is he coming from a long way back at this stage?

He is very small and light so struggling to have a huge impact at 15s level but plays on the wing and has clean hands and good skills.

Strathmore coach Travis Fitzpatrick summed up the pair like this: “Levi West is a very fair player but he hits the packs so hard that opposition players tend to stand back at times.

Sounds like a Westy

They’re built different

Father sons all over the place! We could almost field a 'Footscray' under age side in the EDFL or WRFL (or both) full of father sons, or maybe a NAB League u18 team?! Have we got enough daughters for a team?

Getting strong Buffalo Bill/David Wenham vibes from that little Levi West photo.

[Mr. Walker]

I see from the first page of this thread that Eagleton, Croft and Croft are the eligible father sons available for draft this year. Lack of “noise” on here about them indicates imo that neither is likely to go in the early rounds.
Does anyone think we will draft one of them this year?

Croft is next year. Assume Eagleton is as well

Eagleton Croft & Croft

If they fail at football they should just set up a legal firm....

The Crofts are next year and only one is currently playing footy. Other looks a marginal draft prospect at the moment.

Eagleton has played 4 SANFL U18 games and presumably school footy.

Is he a hard running winger? Man I’d love a young Eagleton at the club

No idea mate, barely any info online. Was named captain of Scotch but seems to have missed a few school games at the start of the season because of injury or illness. Played the four SANFL under 18 games from Rd 12.

I just looked him up. Can't believe he played 221 games for us! I was thinking he may have played 130-150 but was obviously way off....

 

[Hoges64]

I thought one of the Crofts (Jordan?) was meant to be tracking quite handily? Another Key Forward?

Jordan is bottom age for Calder and has played 7 NAB League games. Averaging 6.7 disposals, 0.85 goals, 2.9 marks, 1.6 tackles, 1.3 hitouts.

Hmmm, bottom ager is the only good part about those stats...

Give him a chance! Sam Darcy was following a similar trajectory at the same age.

 

[Bazza28]

Big blokes take time.

If I am not mistaken he is already 199 cm is that correct?

Correct. At least according to his draft profile.

Calm down boys, I'm not writing him off. Just saying from a purely statistical standpoint, the numbers aren't great.

The numbers are actually average. Which is a good sign for an underager.
IF he isn’t doubling that production next year (like other players who become AFL stars) then we can have concerns.
