Found this on the Carlton board.I can tell you that young Rice turned his ankle badly the other week and the Saints were all over him making sure that he saw the right doctors/specialist. They are very keen on the boy.
However, I do recall his father at the same age was also killing them at senior level in the country when he turned his ankle badly. Hawthorn were all over him making sure that he saw the right doctors/specialist, but they didn't take him the next year and he went to Geelong instead..........?

If thats true that is the best father and son news for the club in years! !!!!!!!!Apparently Spud said on Triple M earlier today that Loewe's expecting twin boys
With the new rules for electing to take a F/S pick, wont it be good or bad depending on the teams ladder position?
If we have picks 3, 21, 39 like last year & they (the AFL) rate him as a first round pick, would that mean we'd have to nominate to take him at pick 3? Because that would seriously suck if he was to be rated in the pick 6-15 bracket
Alternatively, if we finish quite high on the ladder & we have picks 16, 34 etc with the kid rated top 5 in the draft, its a bonus to nominate to take him at pick 16
I'm only bringing it up because with Luke McDonald last year for North. I highly doubt they would have elected to take him if they had a top 3 pick, evenly though he was highly rated. They ended up having to use their pick 7, which I don't think they really wanted to because he seemed to be rated somewhere 'in between' 1st & 2nd round, & they weren't allowed to use their 2nd round pick for him. He wouldn't have made it through to their 2nd round pick either which sucked big time!

That's what I mean though. If North had pick 1, 2 or 3, and say Richmond (pick 12) had announced they want McDonald with their 1st round pick, that would have forced North to use that pick 1,2 or 3, potentially missing out on a better player or sacrificing the F/S pre-selection altogetherAlso McDonald was rated as a top 5 pick with the best footskills in the draft, hence North got a deal with them paying just pick 8!!

That's not correct.That's what I mean though.

Just seems like another AFL rule change that could either work beautifully for or seriously screw teams over IMO

I can give them a month or so to settle in a bit but by month two I want those kids running laps!Apparently Spud said on Triple M earlier today that Loewe's expecting twin boys
No idea.great find!!!!
who was the 2nd quote about?
Wow you're giving them time. Surely by month 2 they should be mastering the non-preferred foot!!I can give them a month or so to settle in a bit but by month two I want those kids running laps!
Haha yeah I've been known to be pretty lenient.No idea.

Yes, after 3 others & now yourself have explained, I understand it correctly nowThat's not how it works.
If you have pick 3, only teams with pick 1&2 can force you to use it. It doesn't matter what the other teams behind you do, unless they bid for the player which would force you to use your next pick (pick 20-odd)
Also, McDonald was definitely not rated between round 1 - round 2. West coast would've taken him with pick 6.
Ahhh ok mate next time I won't waste my time trying to answer you I'll let everyone else do itYes, after 3 others & now yourself have explained, I understand it correctly now
Yeah the current rule is MUCH fairer then what Geelong got away with by filling their ranks with some of the best players in the competition with garbage picks.
It was never right that they had 100% dibs on someone like Abblet or Hawkins whilst giving up almost nothing for them.
Wasn't having a dig mate. Apologies if it sounded that wayAhhh ok mate next time I won't waste my time trying to answer you I'll let everyone else do it
If a player wants to, they can nominate as a father-son for any club where their father's played 100+ games. They don't have to.So, can somebody explain for me how this whole Father Son rule works now?
