15! Far out, we’ve dropped the ball. We had a Billy Stretch thread when he was about 12. 

We like them young at Demonland 😐

Young White is about 15 and I’m told is closing in on his father’s height. Worth a look in the draft in a few year’s time and probably already not far off getting a thread of his own on Demonland.😀

To be fair, we now have a thread on the coin toss. So he can dare to dream.

The bidding system for father–sons and academies works this way -

* we assume the player is eligible as a father–son (and has accepted nomination to the club) or academy as the case may be. 

• Each draft pick is assigned a value (with No. 1 starting at 3000 points, declining exponentially until No. 74 which has no value), which is regressed from historical player salary data.

• During the draft, any club may bid for a father–son eligible player with any draft pick.

• The father's club, if it wishes to select the son, must then use its next one or more draft picks until the total points value of the surrendered picks adds up to the value of the draft pick used by the bidding, less a discount – which is either 20% of the bid value or 197 points (equivalent to pick No. 56), whichever is greater. Any points left over after reaching the bid value result in the draft pick being shuffled down the order.

• The club which originally made the bid then has the next selection in the draft.

The same bidding process also works for the academies with the exception that in the case of clubs other than the New South Wales and Queensland clubs, a bid for draft selection cannot be matched by the club to which the academy player is attached.

New bidding system for father-sons, academies

This is the draft value index that applies.

Taj has been named on the wing for WA against SA tomorrow at 1pm.

That's a pretty strong WA lineup also. For Taj to be named is a great effort considering he wouldn't have been in calculations at the start of the year.


So who is the Emergency for WA      J. Stretch   ???   brother of Billy ?

No

I saw Daicos nominated for father son. Are these nominations officially open? If so, can we expect to hear this week if Taj has nominated?

 

Great to see Taj named on the wing after his initial selection was deemed to be last man in.

Following up on 26 disposal, 2 goals and 5 tackles to be named Best on Ground vs Subiaco last round.

I don't mind the sons at all, it is the fathers banging on in social media or training from the over the fence that could be a worry.

I'm not too sure Jay, trying to find that out now. My guess it'll be streamed somewhere? but just not entirely sure.

Watching a future demon in the afternoon and then the boys at night is not a bad Saturday's work.

Angkor?

Perhaps not.

What i am trying to suggest is that the influence (and mouth) of the father can be a major distraction (Moore, West come to mind).  Previously the son came at a discount but with the points system you have to pay market value and the benefit now is you do not have to go though the lottery of the draft.

I worked with a chap who was briefly on the Collingwood list in the early 80's.  Wes Fellowes was starting out and his father Graeme was at training all the time, yelling instructions, calling him over to the boundary etc.  Lets just say that this did not improve Wes's standing with the playing group.  Then again Wes did win a Dopeland trophy.

Cheers mate.

Some handy names to look out for WA. Amiss, Erasmus, Johnson and Warner interest me.

You still get a discount for father son. Or are you referring to the good old days where a third rounder would do it?

Thanks Chaser, I was very tempted to head out there, but need to earn some brownie points as I have a couple of work reunions and footy club nights next week. Heading out now to do some gardening and house chores and will watch the game after that. Then take the dog for a walk to the local park (where there just happens to be a couple of mates watching an Ammos final🍺🍺🍺🤫🤫🤫 then home to watch the Dees

I love Warner, he’s well ahead of Taj currently and is just a born leader. The kid is a gun. Erasmus doesn’t do a lot that will catch your eye, he just does the basics very well and knows how to find the ball. You will think he’s been quiet and all of a sudden 20 odd possessions 2 or 3 goals and a few score assists. He’s one of our boys from Sorrento Duncraig.

Amiss I don’t know much about country boy J believe from the south west, who has developed very quickly after moving to the city on a permanent basis.

Johnson been talked about for a while another northern coastal Perth boy from Sacred Heart who will impress, heap of endeavour and desire to succeed. Wins his own footy and also uses it well. Fairly cool in traffic, which is a decent trait for the next level

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
