List Mgmt. Saints father and son

[SaintsSeptember]

I still think Essendon have probably been cloning their best players for years now. Its illegal, but its Essendon.

Kosi said he's got school aged kids on SEN a while back, at least one was a boy and he will at least be tall.

Whatever it takes! But do we really need to be worried?

Their good players either came from us (Goddard), have come to us anyway (Carlisle), are only really good when on drugs (Watson, TBC), gone somewhere else (Crameri, Ryder, Monfries, Melksham, Hibbard, Jenkins) or are overrated seagulls (Heppell).

I am sure our coaching staff aren't fearful of cloned versions of Craig Bird and Brent Stanton, and the versions of Cooney, Kelly and Goddard they got to clone were cheap imported rubbish that had nothing on the originals.

So the best genes they have to clone are an Ellen Degeneres lookalike, a 200cm giraffe forward that cant kick, a ginger VFL superstar and Forrest Gump's body-double.

Knowing what they are like with paperwork means that they are just as likely to clone Jackson Merrett and Darcy Daniher instead of Zach Merrett and Joe Daniher.

So unless somebody believes that 22 Orazio Fantasia's or Alex Morgan's are a threat to the premiership I say let them carry on with the experiment.

Their president already looks like Emperor Palpetine and just for laughs the Golden Child can be coach. Call it the Clone Wars starring Steven Dank, the Russian scientists from Rocky IV and the cast from Underbelly

*Note: I may not like Essendon

everytime i see this thread bumped i get way to hyped and almost everytime its a let down

 

[Kilroy]

Two father/sons named in the bests for Sandy today - Rice and Sziller. Many agreed with Rice playing very well. Might surprise a few Sziller being named but that's from the VFL website.

its been a while since some news but here is some


Famous fathers; surging sons.

More of a marketing excercise than any real hope for talent Im guessing. Saints sees other Clubs just have gun after gun come thru father son and try and make Saints fans feel a bit better,

Which clubs have gun after gun?

 

[Joffaboy]

Which clubs have gun after gun?

Ablett
Ablett
Scarlett
Hawkins

All picked up for third rounders allowing them to use their first rounders on the likes of Bartel, Selwood etc.

Mentioned Nathan as he was a 2007 premiership player

 

[The Punter]

It's still a perversion of the draft.

 

[Joffaboy]

It's still a perversion of the draft.

So are academies, PP's, picks for FA's etc.

Everyone has had an advantage of the F/S. I would go a step further and demand we get our first 5 F/S as third rounders like Geelong had.

They then got 2 first rounders for Ablett when he went to GC.

perversions everywhere

 

[karaoke]

Doesn't hurt developing a bond between the sons & the club.

Would go a long way if they ever came to making a decision (ala Marc Murphy).

 

[The Punter]

So are academies, PP's, picks for FA's etc.

Except for priority picks, which actually promoted equalisation (look what happened to the league when they stopped being automatic), abolish the bloody lot of them.

 

[gringo2011]

I didn't realise Buckets had a son until that post.
I know about little Kozi, Tyson Milne, Connor Harvey and I'm sure Frankie Peckett has at least half a dozen kids... Have to be some lads in there somewhere.

Liam Jones of the Bulldogs was only 80 of his father's games away from being a Saint...


On a related note, Shane Crawford has 4 boys, two of which are twins (let's say, with lack of research, they are called Mick and Nick) Hawthorn would be pretty happy with 4 Crawfords running around in 18 years. But how would the drafting of the twins work?

In this hypothetical situation in 2029, Brisbane have the first pick followed by Collingwood and then Hawthorn (St Kilda obvioulsy just won the premiership and under new AFL rules that applies to the premiers, signed the 14 year old Hayes triplets on twenty year deals)
Let's say Brisbane nominate that they want to take Mick Crawford at pick one, so Hawthorn is forced to use pick 3 to take him. Then Collingwood nominate that they want Nick Crawford at pick 2. Do Hawthorn now have to choose which Crawford they take at pick 3 letting the other go? Or can they then use their second pick after already agreeing to use their first pick?

Craws kids play basketball and are still pretty young though.

They were even younger in April 2013 when that post was originally written!

Saints' narrow miss on Young talent time

Alex Young will play again with Dandenong Stingrays in 2018. Picture: Dandenong Stingrays

RELATED

• The next batch: Looking ahead to the 2018 draft

ALEX Young recalls a chat last year with Joel Crocker, son of Kangaroos premiership forward Darren, while they toured South Africa with an Australian schoolboys' team.

The conversation centred on Crocker's father-son eligibility for North Melbourne, where his dad played 165 games.

Young's father, Matt, also made triple-digit AFL appearances between 1994 and 2001.

The problem is 21 of them came for Hawthorn and the other 97 were for St Kilda, leaving the Dandenong Stingray three matches short of being a Saints father-son option.......

I rated Matty Young too. He was a very good player.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I rated Matty Young too. He was a very good player.

Very good kick of the footy and decent toe as well. Played a lot of very good games rebounding off HB. Was one of the first to play that sort of role from memory.

 

[Nutsngum]

Does anyone have any sort of definite list of upcoming father sons over the next few years?

 

[goodie23]

What happened with Jackson Voss? We had high hopes for him at one stage

 

[liam5]

You guys are forgetting about Dylan Robertons son, Dylan will definitely go with saints over freo considering he lives so close and probably won’t move

He only played like 50 games or so with Freo as well.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

He only played like 50 games or so with Freo as well.

Also, his oldest lad's just turned 5.

I think most of us following this thread are looking and hoping for someone to come through before Big Footy disappears along with the internet, once the internet is replaced by whatever replaces the internet

James Sziller signed on today for a second season at Sandringham.
