Future Father-Sons

[TigerLand]

With the amount of selections we'll have in the draft.

You coudl bet your last dollar we'll try and take him under father son in some way.

Sheahan said on SEN that Josh Free is "certainly a possibility" to be taken Father-Son.

Do the board do appraisals of the senior footy dept. staff?

Being cynical, I suppose it is one way to get a good appraisal out of one of them...

No Father/Son nominations this year. So Josh has missed out.

rookie pick perhaps ?

[Danog]

Where does it say that, one-eyed?

I cant understand how he isnt good enough even to gamble with a round 6 pick??

Not surprising. Agree that he will most likely be taken with our last pick in the draft.

good player or not he is too short.

if we dont rookie him then so be it im not fussed.

we cant keep recruiting players who are the size of Gary Coleman.

We still might pick up Freezer jnr late in the draft (as we did with Rainesy) or even rookie him. Not being a F/S hasn't ruled him out completely. It just shows we don't think anyone else will pick him up before we do if we do.

All we've said is we don't want to use pick 19 on him

Probably interesting to note that once a pick number, be it 3rd,4th 5th,6th....... rounder is nominated it cannot be used during trade week.
Maybe a few reasons we didn't take Josh, we still may intend on doing so.
This gives us more flexibility next week for trades, upgrades e.t.c.
