Any stats or highlights for the kid?
I know he plays small forward, but is he any good?

" he's pretty tough "

Well, blow me down Cal. You don't say.

 

[speedy]

Is he worthy of being selected in the ND?

 

[giantroo]

Is he worthy of being selected in the ND?

Yes, in the later stages. It's what we've done with our previous father sons prospects (take them with the last pick, Crocker, Archer, Harvey)

I wouldn’t even take him on the rookie list

River already on whipping boy status.....geez

 

[muttley45]

I think based purely on genetics, River already has a headstart on quite a few of his contemporaries, just like Jacko Archer.

Hopefully it’s a Jacko type situation where he is as driven as his old man.

At least for Nostra anyway...

SOS… son of Stevo

 

[DuckYeah]

He’s right. Waste of a spot.

Not the same. Archer, Shinboner of the century, 6 x Robert Rose medalist. Hardly the same thing.

Probably not. They may have wind that he may go third round, hence the nomination process.

Nippy left footer, who can kick a goal, apply pressure and apply himself.

Dont be fooled, he weighs 9 kilograms.

 

[rickety]

Get him in!

You've made your point. How many more posts about him do we have to ignore?

Sorry.. smash the ignore button if you like

Yeah….if only River’s old man accomplished something at North.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Jesus are we doing this shit again?

I said this a year into Jacko's career after some unmitigated rubbish was spewed on here about him. A few years later and it seems here we are again. Swap Archer for Stevens and it's the exact same scenario:

We gave a late pick to a member of the North family who might not make it.

Far out, imagine if he makes it. What a great NMFC story. And if he doesn't? Shit he'd be like 90% of kids who get drafted there. It's Archer FFS. Of course we give him a chance.

I hate father son threads.

River must make it as a great afl player then.. my bad.
