#14 Charlie Naish (Northern Knights)
04/05/2005 | 187cm | 79kg | Utility

Naish is another prospect who has broken into representative consideration at Talent League levl, and showed a few more signs of his class on Saturday. The Richmond father-son candidate started on a wing and was relatively quiet, but began to get his hands on the ball once shifted to half-back. He took a couple of intercept marks and was typically productive in transition, hitting passes on the move.

TIGERS EYE FATHER-SON

RICHMOND father-son prospect Charlie Naish spent part of the school holidays training at Punt Road, as he continues to emerge on the radar of recruiters ahead of November's AFL Draft.

The 17-year-old is eligible to join the Tigers via the father-son rule after his dad Chris played 143 games for Richmond between 1990 and 1997, before finishing his career at Port Adelaide.

Naish has put himself firmly in Vic Metro contention following a strong start to the Coates Talent League season for Northern Knights.

The Ivanhoe Grammar product produced some eye-catching moments in the Victorian under-18 trials at Trevor Barker Oval on Saturday, playing on a wing and across half-back.

Richmond selected Naish's older brother Patrick under the father-son rule – he played nine games for the Tigers and 11 more for West Coast but is now playing for Box Hill – and will consider playing Charlie in the VFL later in the year.

The Tigers struck gold with Matthew Richardson and Joel Bowden in the 1990s but have only selected three father-sons this century. They will be keeping a close eye on the progress of Naish this winter.

A new Tasmanian AFL club is expected to be eligible to bid on father-son draft selections for the offspring of Tasmanian players.

Sources with knowledge of the situation said it was still be finalised, but it was expected the ex-Tasmanian player would still have to have played a minimum of 100 AFL games as the current rules require for a player to qualify as a potential father-son.

The Tasmanian club would then have the same right as the AFL club that the former player played for to match any bid for the player in the draft. For example, Tasmania would have the same priority access to the sons of ex-Tasmanian AFL stars such as Brendon Gale, Jack Riewoldt, or Jeremy Howe as Richmond or Collingwood respectively would. In that case, the young player would then have to nominate a preferred club to go to.

Love this initiative by Richo and the club. Some all-time favs (especially the 95 vintage) amongst those pics.

Would Howe and Riewoldt want their kids playing for their current clubs, or for Tassie under father-son/daughter rules?

I'd say it's more about what the kids want. As if someone is choosing to move states away from family (Gale and Jack live in Vic) to play interstate for a small club over staying at home and playing for a big Vic Club. If any kid does this it's absolutely AFL corruption at its finest.
