[beelzebub 23,380]

2025? Yeah, OK. He will be a tall so a year developing at Casey won't hurt.

Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

kid's a Stynes. He wouldn't allow it that he was there as any charity . He'd want to make a statement. He'd have to understand who's shadow he'd be in. He'd also want to stamp the moment as his.

Might be interesting.

[SaberFang 7,151]

So... anyway...

When does Lovett have to nominate us as his father/son option? And if he does, will it be our responsibility to draft him on draft night itself?

[beelzebub 23,380]

Probably rookie the lad.

Some fairly decent players have come that path.

[Demon Jack 6,921]

Any updates on young Jake? With the recuritment of Shaun's son I'd assume he's still in line to be drafted either with a late draft or rookie pick.

i'd think rookie the only possibility

[G-max 154]

There was a bit of buzz about him a year or so back. Did he not live up to expectations?

He ran around for Casey didn't he... Did anyone see him play?

I just read this thread (commencing 2013) from start to finish. Summary:

- Promising junior - ball accumulator at that level

- Had a strong 2014 - "certainty" to make it

- Had a pretty poor 2015 and suffered some injuries, and was apparently told earlier in the year to improve his tank or the MFC wouldn't look at him

- Form picked up late in the season.

I have no idea what to make of any of it. Gut feel is that I doubt we'll take him.

Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read.

Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window.

Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many...

Maybe a rookie spot?

[Whispering_Jack 30,233]

I think the club would go for him if it could place him on the rookie list but otherwise, I don't see him as a top 50 contender which would rule him out for us in the national draft.

Pity because his father was a late bloomer in that he spent a couple of seasons playing in the reserves at Hawthorn before crossing to Melbourne where he wasn't an overnight sensation.

[dazzledavey36 54,993]

If he isn't picked up i wouldn't be surprise if Casey sign him up next year.

true

[Redleg 40,951]

I think we will have at least one more pick by next friday. Maybe more.

[Demon Jack 6,921]

Seems that we'll be passing on young Jake.

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

Shame.

[dazzledavey36 54,993]

Good decision by the club.

[Demon Jack 6,921]

Good decision by the club.

Yep, agreed. I'm disappointed we've decided to pass on him but the club clearly feels he needs to make some inroads regarding his fitness and endurance. I'd much prefer him earn his spot on the list through hard work and merit rather than be awarded the position because he's a father-son prospect.

[daisycutter 29,619]

well, if he was a rookie, odds are he would play all year at casey

and now most likely he will join casy and play at casey all year anyway

so, depending on how he handles it he may not be losing too much

he'll get lots of support from mfc and his family and i hope he makes it
