Sam Stynes, who is the nephew of the late Melbourne legend Jim Stynes, was named amongst Vic Metro's best, but he doesn't qualify as a father-son recruit because his father Brian only played two games with the Demons.

Why would it be a travesty?

Of it was Jim's son is agree. 

No different to the weed playing for us instead of the filth. 

Wouldn't be a travesty if he didn't, but would be brilliant if he did.

invoke the father-nephew clause

Perhaps we should enrol him in to our academy so we get him whatever happens.

 

there's another m king? hands off, he's ours!

I'm guessing I don't need to explain the difference between grandfather/father and nephew to agree that they are not the same...

But given the cancer battle and death of our club president, not to mention the small bit about Jim being the "greatest story in the history of football", please forgive us for wishing that a good, young prospect related to Jimmy, who's father also played for Melbourne, might one day pull on the read and blue.

His dad's Irish surely we can get him into our "multicultural Academy"

Not saying you shouldn't wish. 

Just saying plenty of filth supporters think the grandson of a club legend should play with them. 

If he is a good player then it would be great to have a Stynes running around for us again.  If he doesn't, it won't worry me as he isn't Jimmy's son.

No more of a travesty that Zac Jones didn't end up at the Dees!

I can vaguely remember Brian playing his two games.

Funny thing memory.

Mine is good at recalling completely odd fragments of yesteryear.

Bwahaha Bwahaha Bwahaha!!!!

A Question. What is the relationship between drug [censored] and memory?

The word fragment is appropriate I must admit.

Can you remember what drug you sniffed, injected , smoked or rubbed in ....let's say ...yesterday Biffin?
