Justed wanted to give everyone a heads on a possible F/S selection, Brett Hughes, son of one of my favourite Melbourne players Danny. He's currently playing for Port Adelaides U/19's in the forwardline.

Here's the link to his profile

He's not tearing them apart so don't get too excited, but I'll keep an eye on him and track his progress

Not as tall as his dad.

Pity we don't have father/sons who are bigger, stronger and faster than their fathers like young Tomahawk!

Heard he's a bit of a SOD! :P

hopefully we pick him up with out anyone having to bid for him, this new f/s son rule sucks. Geelong have been lucky with this rule and it was better the way it was before

I don't see how Geelong scoring Hawkins with a low draft pick was fair.

It all comes down to luck, what happen if the same thing happen to us? you wouldn't be complaining

That's a ridiculous assumption, particularly as I'm not complaining about the Cats getting Hawkins. I'm simply using Hawkins as an example (since it's the most topical atm...I'm sure there are many others) to illustrate the inequality of the soon-to-be old system.

I'd be saying exactly the same thing if Melbourne picked up the new Judd for a third rounder or whatever - that it was unfair.

F/S Clubs still get an advantage in picking up great young talent if they've got a connection to that footy club, but will now have to pay something near market value. It's still not entirely 'fair', but it's much improved and I like the new system.

news from port adelaide is that he has been playing at CHF, and if he continues his form he is a good chance to be a f/s selection

Developing at CHF nicely, although not dominating games. Not sure how accurate his height is on their website but he'd have to be at least 190cm to hold down a key position at AFL level.

There's a kid called Simon Keenan, who's around 15 now. His brother Sam didn't want to play AFL - "I want to do what I want and eat what I want when I want without public scrutiny 24/7", but he might. He'll end up bigger than Crackers.

If he stays off the radar I am sure the dees will be able to pick him up with a F/s selection. Lets be honest, he isnt setting the under 19s on fire like hawkins did, so the scouts wont be all over him.

Based on his season so far, i would say the dees could pick him up without too much comp.

Latest report on the kid, he's been listed in Port's best players the last 3 or 4 games as a CHF, and although he hasn't kicked big bags he's been regularly scoring. This is what the coach said after the game on the weekend about him.

".... while Brett Hughes again was dominant at centre half forward." (ok, not a big quote but I'll take anything at this stage ;) )

This kid could be a very good pickup for us, I'm justhoping he's bigger than the 185cm he's listed as on their website.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
