Have always loved the father - son rule, not just because of Viney and mini-stretcha and Chris Johnno notwithstanding.
Though it seems a strange article in which to include this story??
Nice news though, hope it pans out for the kid.
Well If not picked up by any clubs those names will still be there next year in the national draft in whcih Gold Coast have all the pickings - if good enough they stand a better chance than previous years past overs in getting a second (or third look).
Excuse me, I live in the Western Suburbs of Sydney and I can assure you I am a good measure more articulate than a good many of the other posters on this site and I think I can safely assume a high proportion of them are Melbourned based. There are portions of Western Suburbs that could be construed as under educated, just like in Melbourne. So perhaps you could be a tad more discerning in your use of the broad brush.
At least with the so called shallow drafts coming up they still have some chance of proving they can cut it and get picked up again by performing in other competitions?? WAFL? SANFL? VFL? Some chance I said - not a great chance!!
