WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH

[Deespicable 2,574]

No. Try this:

Father-Son Rule: This rule was introduced to ensure that family traditions were upheld when it comes to footy, as sons of fathers that played for any given club could be selected by that club regardless of zoning rules. In order to be eligible for the Father-Son Rule, the father had to have played at least 100 games for the club. All other teams are allowed to bid on the son. The team that wishes to draft the son then has to match the highest bid with their next available draft selection.

Yep thanks for that.

But the real issue is the teams that have picks 10-18, because they could force us into using him with our first pick.

The teams that are 1-9 picks are no problems because he's not rated anywhere near that level yet.

But based on his recent form in U18 comp and SANFL he could be moving up into top 20.

We need to remind all recruiters about Stretch and Dipper.

No they couldn't. We use the NEXT available pick. If we have picks 9 and 27 to be forced to use pick 9 one of the first 8 teams have to nominate him. If we don't want to spend pick 9 then the bidding team must take him. If pick 10 nominates him we can get him for pick 27.

Billy Stretch is showing he will be a very handy addition. Pace to burn.

[Moonshadow 16,572]

Roos, Taylor and T Viney will know exactly what he's worth. They won't bid more in the draft than that. Really hope he's good and we get him, but we won't be paying too high a price.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours

dunno about his romps, but he's getting involved with the Hells Angels is a bit of a worry. maybe we should put him on the back burner, after he's running with them.

survived his initiation, & colours are on the way.

[dee-luded 2,958]

He has attitude issues and will not be taken in the draft any higher than 60th or so .

This is the news we should be circulating about him.

The Crows are trying to inflate his worth.

did you catch him picking the drunks pockets, down at the Gat again Biff.

wish he'd stop doing that, & just clean the toilets like he should be. earning his stash.

It always amazes me that people who have no idea how it works have so much to say. If you have no clue how f/s works stop talking like you have an idea.

I hope he keeps improving but keeps it a little quiet. 3rd would be gold but at this rate 2nd is looking likely.

[Pipefitter 2,082]

I hate this bidding process. Only starts when the dees actually have some players to choose from. Look at how well geelong did with father sons.

They won those 3 grand finals on the back of half there team being father and son picks.

Wasn't Garry Ablet Jr pick 50 or something?

[rolly 149]

seems to be firming into a solid second rounder which is what we will end up paying for him.

sounds like an isaac smith type

[Jarka 767]

He's trying to sell him down because we have to bid for him and it will cost a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Yep, serves me right for not following the conversation.

Nowhere in that article does it say he was BOG.

Based on the report, Pickett or Johansen would get that jersey.

You said BOG. Where does it say he was BOG?

Go back and edit your post. It's factually incorrect, and not even based on any information other than what you've picked up from reading a single report. It's not as if you were at the game.

[T-34 409]

First mentioned in the list of best players is generally accepted as that sides best player.

Given SA won HH has also assumed he was BOG.

Reasonably fair assumption I would think.

You kinda are ranting for no reason, you made a boo boo, deal with it

It was their luck that resulted in a change to the rules.

Your looking very silly here..

[rjay 24,178]

Seems like the SA media are pumping him up a bit knowing he's more than likely headed our way.

[whatwhat say what 20,288]

awesome, i hope he does live up to the billing, and is worth around a pick 10, and then we get him for our second round pick.

bring that on.
