Future Father-Sons

[Fishfinger]

50 games would make more players available. Can anyone tell me whats happened to Trevor Pooles boy, not eligible under f/s coz hes dad only has 99 games lol ... but at 50 games he would  be eligible and last I heard he was considered a decent prospect.

At 50 games he would also be eligible to be taken F/S by Geelong.

Razor was another 99 gamer.

The big carrot in the change IMV is the 2nd rounder limit. If you're near the top of the ladder by 2010-11 you could still score a gun via the F/S for a mid-30 pick to offset the new teams having the top 5 picks to themselves.

Am I right in thinking that Kane Lucas can come to us as a father/son pick?

There is video of him on the Bigpond site.

Not sure mate.  I think there was some excitement/confusion six months ago and it was eventually confirmed that he wasn't a Richmond F/S.  Would love that to be wrong.

I just read that his old man played a few games for South Melbourne.

Sorry to hear that, TM. I was hoping you'd scrape through to 50.

What a bugger with these new father/son rules.

Geelong got to clean up on them with 3rd rounders.

Now if Free is a gun, we have to use our first rounder on him.

The only way we get a steal is if he is a clear number 1 pick and we have pick 12-16.

He's not a gun.  Yet.

He's a just a hard at it in and under toiler that is shorter than 175cm.

I think the father son rule will serve us just fine on this one if we decide to draft him.

[Stripes]

When will he be eliable for the draft?
