Stumbled across the article from an Irish ☘️ news source that talks about the son of Brian Stynes from 2016. It talks about him gaining selection in the Vic Metro side as an under 16 in 2016. By my calculations, that would make him a draft chance for this year. Has anyone heard anything about  where he is at? Could we potentially rookie the kid given the family connection?

As a side note, I know Jimmy’s son is playing football for Wesley College. Has some size about him and runs like his old man. 

 

I think @Whispering_Jack has mentioned the development of Jim's son, Tiernan. He's still a few years away from TAC cup level, I think he's 12 or 13, but I believe shows some promise. I've seen him at Melbourne games with his family and he's certainly a tall lad.

Brian and his family are mad Melbourne supporters, they attend games regularly. His son is not eligible for F/S, but it will be interesting to see the club's view should he be good enough and available at our pick. Would certainly create a lot of supporter emotion.

You are referring to Sam Stynes.  He was a top ager last year so overlooked by clubs.  Played for Xavier College with the odd game for the Sandringham Dragons.

Young Tiernan Stynes played for South Metro JFL side Port Melbourne/South Melbourne last year in the Under 13s and was also in their interleague team. I checked on the league website and it appears he’s not playing for them this year. The fact that he’s at Wesley might have something to do with this because the schools in the APS play their inter school matches on Saturday mornings which often puts pressure on young kids backing up for games with club teams on Sundays. 

I believe that Jeff White’s son is showing some promise as a sportsman and is perhaps a year or two younger. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a young Stynes and a young White combining for the Demons in around five or six year’s time after Maxy retires?

 


A Stynes, a Farmer, a White, a Schwartz, a Lyon, an Yze, the list goes on .... we must pounce when the time is right.

I say the time will be right if one, any or all can prove to be high quality junior footballers, not because their dad played for us.

If they are average juniors, then I have zero interest in them.

FWIW I find this interest in these young people unhealthy.

Let them grow and if they happen to come our way.... embrace them.

Moreover... best of luck in whatever they pursue

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
