Lets be honest, we are twiddling our thumbs until the first of the Picketts come through...

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Looked alright all things considered. Not sure he'll ever make the AFL list though but stranger things have happened - especially considering our recruiting... :shh

There’s an article on AFL.com which talks about KB’s grandsons playing for the Oakleigh Chargers.

Charlie Richardson, 190cm forward playing for the U18s eligible for 2024 draft and Callum Smith, 188cm, playing for the U16s and eligible for the 2025 draft.

No idea if they’re any good and wouldn’t have rights to drafting them anyway.

Albeit it's not Father-Son, it's Grandfather-Son, so I'll plonk it here in this thread.

Edit: You just beat me to it, TK  :thumbsup.

--------------------------------------

FAMOUS BLOODLINES ON SHOW

THE GRANDSON of Richmond's 403-gamer Kevin Bartlett made his debut in the Coates Talent League last round.

Charlie Richardson, of the Oakleigh Chargers, is the grandson of the five-time Tigers premiership player and ran out for the first time at under-18 level on Monday against the Sandringham Dragons.

The 190cm forward kicked a goal from 10 disposals and four marks and competed well and will be eligible for the draft in 2024 when he turns 18. He showed some of his marking prowess and smarts in attack.

Bartlett also has another grandson in the Oakleigh under-16s program – Callum Smith, a 188cm prospect eligible for the 2025 draft.

Charlie Naish's stats today in the VFL (not sure of his % time on ground).

8 disposals (7k, 1h) and 3 marks.

Not saying he'll make or even get drafted but from what little I saw of him today was more impressive than anything I ever saw from his brother. Though admittedly not a high bar there.:shh

Charlie Naish (eight disposals, three marks, one rebound-50)

"First game for the footy club and he held his own. I thought he showed some really good composure at crucial stages and had a couple of key contests which is an area of his game that he's been focusing on."
