We might miss out on Kobe, but there are other F/S possibilities coming up.

From MFC article May 2018 (so add a couple of years to the ages quoted to see where they are now)

"Watch list: Jeff White's son Kalani, 11, is another the club is keeping an eye on while he plays his footy for Surfers Paradise in Queensland. White also has twin sons named Kai and Tahj, still only seven years old. Adem Yze's son Noah, 12, Aaron Davey's son Marley, 8, David Schwartz' son Cooper, 14 and Shane Woewodin's son Taj, 15, are others on the Demons' radar, although admittedly they are all very young. Defender Nathan Brown also has three sons – Kynan, 13, Jake, 11, a talented soccer player, and Ryder, 9."

    (assuming, of course, he is good enough)

    That's ok, we've got Kozzi now!

    Disagree. There's nothing stopping us to put a bid in on the night if he's worthy. We could have done it for Green (GWS) at pick 3 this year.

    I understand he's aligned with Freo via their academy as well as father/son, I am curious if our father/son still carries any weight with relation to the rules.

    Regardless, any club can bid on him come draft night.

    Yes, but Freo, I believe, will have the right to match any bid on draft night - we won't have that opportunity.

    (If he and Freo make a father/son agreement prior to the draft.)

    I watched the blues brothers on the weekend with the kids. Love that film. My teenage kids didn't know what to make of it. My son couldn't stand the musical interludes. And found it too surreal.

    Like Life of Brian really just a series of connected comedy sketches. But like Life of Brian it works.

    He has the choice to chose if he wishes to nominate with us under Father/Son or nominate with them under Father/Son/Academy. If he chooses us, only we can match a bid. Same if he chooses Freo, only they can.

    It's similar with a Bulldogs player who chose not to nominate with Sydney a few years ago under Father/Son because he didn't want to go there as his family was in East Gippsland and thus Sydney could not match any bids.

    The player has to nominate if they wish to go to a club under the rules of Academy or Father/Son, the club can not nominate for them.

    Note: The Club also has to accept taking the player under those rules for them to nominate a club. Essentially, both parties must agree for nomination.

    Yes, but being part of the Fremantle Academy, living in Western Australia and (seemingly) being a Freo supporter... all signs point to him and Fremantle agreeing to father/son.

    I'm sure when he time comes, we'll pay the farmer family a visit.  But between then and know we need to be far more successful on the field to be viable option in terms of career success.

    Yes I agree they do. At present he's favouring towards them but that shouldn't stop us working to get him to select us over the next couple of years. On field success should certainly help. From reports his father is more of a Melbourne man as well. Even if he doesn't I hope we can work it so if we do indeed bid on him he's not disappointed to come over, e.g. his initial decision was a tough one to make.

    I just hope the club plays the political game and at least works to get in his ear early. If he's that good of a talent we'd be foolish not to.

    If he’s good enough to make AFL, he’s going to Freo. All the developments last year posted in this thread show he’s not coming to us. He already trains with them as part of their academy. He’s a Freo supporter. Nat Fyfe is his idol. He lives in WA with his family. His mother is a Freo supporter, has has health issues, and doesn’t travel to Melbourne anymore for health reasons. When Jeff was interviewed last year, he said he hopes Kobe plays for Freo and can wear his number 33.

    Regardless, he missed the U18 WA team and is speculative at this point.  The only way he’s coming to us is if he’s not good enough to be drafted and we grab him for nothing, in which case he’s not good enough so why bother.

    Speculative rookie pick?

    I'm pretty sure I'm at least 4 years older than I was eight months ago.

    Forget him, he is going to play for the Dockers.  Makes no sense for him to pick the Demons if he grew up in Perth.

    Watched it with my kids too - 12 & 13. Kinda dug it. Been saying, "hut, hut, hut, hut," ever since..." 

    I sure loved it. One of a kind....

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
