Be more excited by Jack Viney at Ashburton Juniors. He wins all the B&F's, is tough as nails, but supposedly with better skills than his Dad. He's meant to be an outstanding prospect, but much can happen between now and when he's eligible to be drafted.

He plays under 15's.

    He has 3 sons and was married in 1993 so you would assume one must be in their teens already, no idea how old though, you wouldnt think any older than 14 or 15, so at least three years away yet.

    H, you're right about alot can happen but that is great news. A skilled version of his father would be a damn good player, what position does he play?

    I heard a whisper awhile ago that Sugar Healy's son went ok but I have no idea of even his age.

    To be playing like Todd Viney you have to be playing midfield,

    Basically impossible otherwise

    Just as long as he doesn't play like Jay Viney.

    "Jack Viney"

    Sounds straight out of the 1930s.

    I'm still shattered that nothing came of Robbie Flower's son.

    Something definitely went wrong in that gene pool.

    Nah, Robbie was just a freak of Naita. That said, many here will remember his brother Tom wearing the red and blue. He was no Robbie, just like the son.

    Not many sons that make it.

    Ha ha.

    I was actually disappointed when Tom Flower and Mark Alves did not emulate their brothers.

    I remember being a bit peeved when Barry Vaggs son took up pro baseball in the USA instead of playing for the Dees.

    I dont even know if it was correct but Id heard he was a talent. Must be 30 years ago now.

    grinter have any kids, having them playing for the dees, that be awesome

    Andy Goodwin's son is 16 or 17 and is as tall as his dad.

    Unfortunately his skill level is about the same :P

    not a good sign if hes playing in the 9 Bs...wouldnt think hes much of a likely prospect if hes not in the As

    Has it occurred to any of you that he might just not be into footy as much as other kids.

    Fair dinkum, this thread is a disgrace, i hope the kids dont get on and have a look at this. I know them, i know the family very well. I ask for this to be removed.

  • Quote

    Still only Under 15s. Though having said that he's got about 2 years to get good real quick or no one will look at him

    And i hope your sons if you have any dont suffer the same amount of pressure as these kids do.

  • Quote

    I'm not putting pressure on him.

    I'm just saying if he does want to pursue an AFL career he has to get fast quick, if he doesn't and just enjoys playing with his school mates why does it matter?

    Exactley... so why even start a thread on this. Why even speculate on what a 14 year old kid wants to do and has to do..

    I just find it a bit crude.

    Because thats EXACTLY what this is mate. A forum for people to write about football.

    I asked if anyone knew how old Lyon's kids were and if they are playing footy?

    What was wrong with that?

    Not 100% sure but I think he does have a son who is at St. Kevin's with Tony Liberatore's son.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
