To be honest he sounds more like his grandfather.Sounds like his dad. I think it's absolutely work giving someone a shot if they can win their own ball to that degree.

No current season stats available
Thats a terrible outcome for us, would be in his ear trying as much to get him to come to Port. I could understand his concerns if he was a midfielder but his a tall prospect that we have lacked forever from the 1st round and he's in that range atm.According to the Saints board, Darryl Wakelin was on SEN this afternoon and said that Gill is more likely to nominate St Kilda than Port next year
Thats an interesting curve ball

Whether it’s true or not, that’s a very odd think for Darryl to say publicly a year out from the draft.According to the Saints board, Darryl Wakelin was on SEN this afternoon and said that Gill is more likely to nominate St Kilda than Port next year

Port people see through KenSurely that’s not real. Maybe some fans reaching?
Can’t see why he would. He’s already in our academy , lives here, and if he wanted to go to melb there’s other options that would be more appealing than saints.

I’ll believe it when someone posts the audio.
Given out list sizes, if indeed Port get 2 first for Houston and somehow magically land Perryman and Richards as well, I think there's a chance we may pass on 1 or 2 prospects.Realistically Father Son picks these days are only beneficial when the player is an elite level talent that the club otherwise wouldn't have had access to. Outside of that it's really just about the romance of footy and club history since the AFL makes you pay close to market value. Having multiple father son eligible draftees can actually be detrimental when it means that you preference them over actual list needs. More likely than not a player that is higher up your draft board would still be available when you use your picks to bid or match for these father sons.
All of our father sons in recent years have been undersized mids/flankers and at this stage it looks like Jase will turn into a solid player and Mead is still very much a line ball whether he becomes a mainstay. I won't be too sad if we don't pick up some of our FS options this year if it means we are picking players that address our current list deficiencies.
From 7 minutes onwards. Kid's a Saints fan, mostly because of his Grandad. Darryl still has strong relationships with both clubs. From that audio clip, he merely mentions Gill is more of a Saints fan than Port fan but the kid plays for PAC, so whether or not he would want to move when he could guarantee himself a spot on the list at Port in his home state remains to be seen. "More of a Saints fan" doesnt mean he aint a Port one
Just get Rozee and JHF to rock up to his house and close the deal. Have to do everything we can and get in early
Listen live to Darryl, he did mention his son was more of a Saints fan. But wouldn’t say that means his going to pick them. He said he regularly goes to Port games with the whole family. He also said his boy is a good runner and about 191cm natural defender. Only plays forward in school football.According to the Saints board, Darryl Wakelin was on SEN this afternoon and said that Gill is more likely to nominate St Kilda than Port next year

Mead is criminally underrated on this board.Realistically Father Son picks these days are only beneficial when the player is an elite level talent that the club otherwise wouldn't have had access to.

Hey Jacko, maybe spend more time focusing on having a consistent impact on games and less time on bigfooty xoxoMead is criminally underrated on this board.
He must have some shit vision if he can't see the state of St. Kilda but can see through KenPort people see through Ken
That's what I was thinking too!That is a bit different to He wants to play for St Kilda!
Gill won't pick St Kilda.
Having said that, they've flown him over a few times. They're trying.
I may have misunderstood what Darryl said in the segment, but I think he mentioned that Gill was part of Saints' NGA Academy too? If that was the case then there's no surprises that he's been flown over a few times for training etcHaving said that, they've flown him over a few times. They're trying.
Father son thing aside, why would you be more of a Saints fan?
