would future father-son's effect the way mfc draft in 09

[Tatu 416]

was resently told that MFC may have a few father-son prospects coming though, is this true?

should MFC change who they pick in the 09 draft, according to who they may get with father-son in a few years?

should MFC set up an introduction camp for father-son prospects?

No.

We have no idea how the father-sons are going to turn out in a few years.

Who are the prospects coming through and what year can they be drafted?

[Matt Demon 1,387]

Todd Vineys son is playing under 16's I think?

[Hannabal 4]

Who are the prospects coming through and what year can they be drafted?

Todd Viney's Son Jack, Steven Stretch's Son, and apparently Grinter's Son is OK. The first two are highly rated.

I'm not completely sure when they're available, but I think Jack Viney would be in the 2012 draft.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Regardless it's too early to tell whether they will be up to it by the time the draft comes around. And with the new Father Son rules you can be sure that someone will try to make us use our higher picks on them. Will any of them be worth a first round pick?

I seem to recall a Demon Magazine from around 97-98 with Todd holding an infant Jack on the cover. I remember thinking at the time that with Viney, Lyon and a couple of others having boys there was a chance we could snag a freebie. Mind you father son selections aren't as 'free' as they used to be.

Our last father/son selection turned out to be a huge success.....

[Demon Disciple 11,069]

If Jack Viney continues to go on the same path he's on, he ight well be one of the best prospects eligble to be drafted in his year. Would gladly give up a first rounder for him.

Haven't really heard much about Steven Stretch;'s son, and just a bit about Balls' boy.

Set up an introduction camp to obtain father-son prospects?

The mind boggles - is this where MFC footballers can be introduced to young ladies who will provide the greatest chance of securing outstanding progeny?

Breeding ground. Y chromosomes are a must.

He did his bit. He freed up a spot on the list for Jurrah. What more could a bloke do for the club?

Gee, i don't know.................................maybe win a premiership!

Fair enough. But when Jurrah holds up the cup we will call it even, eh?

What about Steve Febey and his missus? They could produce a couple of real champs!

Brad Miller and his missus could produce the best looking player yet!!!!!

[45HG 1,539]

Wasn't our last father/son Cameron Hunter?

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Referring to son of Alan I think.

[#MYHEARTBEATSTRUE 27]

also, hunter's old man played at carlton, they knew he was a dud, as they did not take him in the draft....

Do a search on Demonland and you'll discover that this idea was already discussed years ago

[45HG 1,539]

My mistake.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

The only issue is if you had multiple f/s that were likely ot go in the same round, then I suppose you would need to pick which one to go for. Otherwise recruiting F/Ss won't change anything, how would it?

If you have multiple f/s in the same year then the bidding sytem still works on the next pick available.

For example, let's say Viney and Stretch are available in the same year and we have a first round pick of 12 and a 2nd round pick of 28. Let's say we think both are worth at least a 2nd round pick. Another club bids pick 10 for Viney, we then have to use our next pick on him, ie pick 12. Another club bids pick 11 for Stretch, we can still use our next available pick, which in this case would be pick 28.

The only thing I'm unsure of is the implications of either trading for or away for picks. In other words if we trade away our 1st round pick are we screwed if another club bids an earlier 1st rounder?

Thanks for clarifying. Given the first example it would be an advantage to to have multiple FS likely to go in the same round, particularly in the first round.

That name though still gives me shudders. I have to get past my prejudices.

Father-Son selections have to be nominated a fair way before the draft -- you sure they aren't done before trade week..?

This may come into play if trading of future draft picks becomes allowed.

[Vipercrunch 2,816]

I would love to see a Viney, Stretch or Grinter play for us. These will be the first players whose fathers I can remember. I grew up yelling "STRETCHER!!!" everytime he used to have one of his frequent runs down a wing. It would be great if they turned out to be AFL level players.
