from what i understand he's pretty focused on high jump and has olympic aspirations 

Excellent, we'll grab him cheap as a category B rookie.

Future Brownlow medallist! (Now if only he could become a good player as well).

Ooh Burn!!!!

He deserved his Brownlow in the fact he had a number of sensatation games as opposed to being the best player week in week out. That is my memory of his year.

Dead right! It was some performance - for the whole year. A purple patch like no other. 

Jed Kemp, Matt Johnson, Tyler Brockman, Taj Woewodin and more impress in Subiaco’s colts pre-season win over East Fremantle

Agree Corcoran was the architect behind the salary cap disgrace as well.  Massive ego.  Should have stayed at the bummers 

This is so far off beam. Before his time.

Fair enough. Corcoran was there in 1997-2004.  Salary cap rorts were 1995 to 1998. Only the accomplice. 

this is from two years ago:

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.

Hopefully a few of those end up AFL standard and playing with the Dees.

I wonder how many we can collect?  (If any)

Isn't Jeff's boy called Kalani?

This from whatwhatsaywhat above "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".

Yes saw that after I posted, but would be nice to see/hear of Yze, White, Woey, Davey and Browndog running around in the Red and blue again

Correct. He was really good week-in week-out. I am a hopeless punter, but backed him at the TAB sometime in late July at 30 to 1 to win. And yes, I have been bragging about it ever since.

Woey was the classic one hit musical sensation. A great year but alas not repeated. And of course in typicalMelbourne fashion his contract was up for renewal in the year after his one hit wonder.

 

Still think he was stiff. He had a pretty good 2002 from memory. Though his 2001 was something to forget.

His version is he didn't get a chance to take a cut.
Club said he needed to take a cut, he and his manger were discussing it, manager was putting a proposal together whilst Woey was on the end of season trip, then the club traded him to Collingwood before they had the chance to negotiate.

Daniher says at the end of the vid that the salary cap was so tight, that someone simply had to go and that cutting Woewodin allowed them to keep: Yze, Johnstone and offer contracts to Robertson, Powell, James McDonald and Chris Lamb.
 

Which would have made sense if we didn't also lose Powell. No wonder 2003 was so poor, losing two of our prime-movers in the midfield in one season.

I know this is focused on the father/son side of things but any daughters who carry famous names who might pull on the red and blue?

doesn't qualify for pies as father-son so it's either dees or pot-luck in the draft in a few years time

they had salary cap issues and had to decide between I think him, yze, and some other talent ... given how he finished off at the pies they probably chose the right option ... although should have managed things better to avoid having to force someone out in the first place

Didn't the club set up a father daughter academy last year.

Interesting point you raised Pates.

So interesting I'm off for my pre-sleep nap.

Thanks for your extremely valuable contribution, I’m not surprised you need a nap after really straining yourself on it.

Exhausting.

Sometimes the only way I can energise myself is to ponder the vagaries of the AFLW draft system and all the possible recruits.
