Just saw the following on the AFL website...

"Tom Couch, son of 1989 Brownlow medallist Paul, has been invited to train with Melbourne after playing the past two seasons for Bell Park in the Geelong football league.

Couch was a VFL top-up player for Collingwood's VFL team this season and played 12 games for the seniors."

Anyone know anything about him? If he's anything like his old man, should be a reasonable player.

Crumbs! I always forget about that other forum. Sure wish all the threads were together, here...!

I think we might see the Dee's rookie him.

Neeld is the obvious connection playing with Paul at Geelong and Tom being previously at Collingwood.

Couch at 23 years old is worth a spot I think. Has hassome good performances at Collingwood's VFL side. Mature age body and maybe ready too fire under Neeld.

Presumably if he was as good as his old man, he'd have been snavelled by Geelong as a father son at some point.
