List Mgmt. The Unofficial Ron Barassi Father/Child Academy

[Marc_Remillard]

It's probably time to start looking forward to the next gen of potential father son/daughter kids coming through. Especially considering the enormous success we've had with guys like Chris Johnson, Glenn Molloy, Brad Campbell and Tom Kavanagh.

The club launched the academy back in July with the following group participating:

• Kalani White (11, Surfers Paradise) – son of Jeff White who played 235 games (Jeff also has twin boys who are younger)
• Noah Yze (12) – son of Adem Yze who played 271 games
• Charlie and Francesca Newport, whose father Stephen played 101 games
• Kynan (13) and Ryder Brown (9), whose father Nathan played 146 games
• Jemma and Paige Rigoni, whose father Guy played 107 games
• Tegan and Elise Williams, whose father David played 67 games
• Oliver Green – son of Brad who played 254 games

In addition Cooper Schwartz (14), Taj Woewodin (15) and Kobe Farmer (15, also qualifies for Freo, playing with Mandurah in WA) are our most likely prospects in the not too distant future. Apparently Kobe is a pretty good prospect, anyone seen him play?

NGA

Toby Bedford
Daniel Allsop

As time goes by I'll keep updating this post (that's if I'm not perma banned by some sooky Carlton mod)


You may ask is it a little weird and creepy that a group of middle aged (and most likely a little overweight) footy fanatics are actively following the sporting prowess and development of a group of kids as young as 7 and then discussing it on an internet forum? The answer is obviously yes so we're going to have some rules - No social media stalking of the kiddies please. I can't remember when we started tracking Jack Viney's progress but I reckon it was when he was about 10 so we do have form.

I'll try to keep the thread updated as best as I can. Adding our two NGA prospects for this year:

Toby Bedford (https://www.afldraftcentral.com.au/player/toby-bedford/)
Daniel Allsop

master bate thinks that Bedford's a 2nd or 3rd rounder but I haven't seen too much mentioned about Allsop this year.

I have to admit that I think it's bloody ridiculous that all clubs now have these academies, the AFL ****ed up giving one to Sydney and they've been trying to repair the damage ever since. This is the result.

 

[booshboy]

how good would having another Farmer be!?

 

[schmuttt]

I'll flip tables if we don't draft Bedford.

 

[Proper Gander]

I’m not overweight. I’m stately and have gravitas.

 

[markm106]

From the sounds of it we’ll certainly draft Bedford. Unless someone puts in a ridiculously early offer.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

There would be no way Jeff Farmer's kid plays anywhere that's not the MFC, I reckon

Looks like Farmer loves the Dees and lives in Melbourne now so hopefully we get his son at the Dees.

 

[The Quite Man]

There would be no way Jeff Farmer's kid plays anywhere that's not the MFC, I reckon

He could go to freo to try to win there first flag, & then have to have Nev Jetta's son playing on him when he play against Melbourne. Or he can play for Melbourne & have Nev's son in the same side

Does Clint Bizzell qualify?
Pretty sure he does have two kids, aflw players at that

Only played 88 games for us, minimum now is 100

We’ve got about six list spots available. I’d be open to drafting Clint and trying to get him to the hundred.

Nathan Brown’s boys play at my daughter’s club Greythorn Falcons (same club the Silvagnis played for and a few other AFL players).

Ryder placed 3rd in the u/10s B&F https://www.greythornfalcons.com.au/Awards/u10s_awards.html

As did Kynan in the u/13s https://www.greythornfalcons.com.au/Awards/u13s_awards.html

I’ve not seen either play.

I had Browny as a player sponsor for years, him and his Mrs are great people

Doggy brown was in the running to coach our women's team a couple of years back.

Wish they'd picked him instead of the other guy

Reggie Gallagher is an unbelievable name

Reggie Gallagher is an unbelievable name

I’d like to think he is a 19th Century bearded war hero and explorer that has time-travelled, ideally in black and white

I really hope he chooses us over those purple campaigners.

I really liked the cut of number 21's jib! Dropped the easy receive, won it back, was then too slow but shrugged the tackle only to handball 1m to a teammate under pressure. Sign him up!

Can he play inside mid?
