Our players are all having daughters

Powerstufff · Feb 8, 2006

With Roger James and Matthew Bishop recently having daughters just where are our father/son picks in 15 years or so?

Peter Burgoyne has a couple of boys. Who else has played 100+ games, or will do so, and has done the right thing by us?

There's probably more. Should have a cracking defence.

Besides Port Adelaide Football Club does not have a One Child Policy.

Just for interest:-

Father/son rule:
Sons of former AFL players can play with the same club their father played or officiated with under the father/son rule. The main eligibility requirements is that the sons father must have played 100 games for that club. The rule is designed to continue the traditions of association that a family has with a particular club.

West Australian and South Australian AFL teams have a modified father/son rule in place that have a sunset clause that will be activated when these clubs have been in the AFL competition for 20 years ie: West Coast Eagles 2007; Adelaide Crows 2011, Fremantle Dockers 2015, Port Adelaide 2017. They then become eligible to include father/son players under the same qualifications as all the other AFL clubs.

When a club includes eligible player/s on its list it will forfeit draft selections.

Current father son players in the AFL

• Jonathan Brown (Brisbane Lions)
• Shane Morrison (Brisbane Lions/Richmond)
• Jarrad Waite (Carlton)
• Lance Whitnall (Carlton)

Personally I think the club should have some kind of Christian name policy after reading that.

On the father-son rule - who knows of any 80's and 90's Magpie players son's on the horizon.

Between 1988 and 1996 we won 7 GF's. Players who played the required games like Delaney, Fiacchi, Northeast, D Smith, R Smith, Hodges, Hutton, Ginever, etc - some of them must have son's.

Wouldn't it be great ?

I was eventually going to suggest they be encouraged to do a little 'out-breeding' with girlfriends, mistresses and the like. But I hadn't considered the lingerie game as a possibility so now am not so bothered.

Sports man generally have girls. there has been studies on it

Looking at the calibre of the list of Collingwood father sons I'd like to see a rule brought in forcing Collingwood to recruit all their father sons.

Heh. Yeh, it shows, doesn't it. Geelong, on the other hand, has a pretty good strike rate. Otherwise, less than 1/4 of the current f/s players seem to be worth the effort, really.

Bugger Ben, if he's smart enough he will know its on and find himself a ticket.

And knowing my luck he would bring his sister along, not a good move me thinks especially if its standing room only.

If he brings his sister, COUNT ME OUT!

Stephen Williams has a son. Northeast has a son. Delaney had a daughter.

I hope Northeast's wife brings some kicking genes to the partnership.

We wouldn't be able to claim Thomas as Stuey only played 54 games for us.

He sure is.

I think I read somewhere recently he is ranked 400 odd nationally for U18, and he would only be 14 or so wouldnt he?
