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.

    Hey Kids of past champions..no pressure or anything...

    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

  • Quote
    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
