Tony Shaw has written an article in the Age about successful and failed father-sons. We've had a few of both.

Here's the Father-Sons currently on our list:

Joel Bowden (Michael)

Patrick Bowden (Michael)

Brett Deledio (Wayne)

Brent Hartigan (Dean)

Andrew Krakouer (Jim)

Andrew Raines (Geoff)

Tony Shaw also included Travis Tuck as a Richmond player in his article. So much knowing Richmond's list .

mmm,  Not sure about Richo or Joel as that goes back a few years and I can remember but non of the others were good enough (at the time) for us to use the father and Son rule to draft them.  Hopefull somewhere down the track we have some Jack Hawkings / Gary Abblett type guys comming though.

ok we may have many sone of fathers in our team, but we dont have many father - son pickups

we didnt pick up raines or paddy with the father son rule

tuck, krak, lids...etc, fathers never played 4 us

[Gordon Bennett]

We took Joel and Richo under the father-son rule, but in those days you just had to add them to a vacant spot on the list, not give up a specific draft pick.

Richo, Joel, David Bourke, Nick Jewell and Tom Roach have been our official F/S picks.

Other sons who ended up at Punt Rd of fathers who played VFL/AFL:

when will weightmans kids grow up and be ready

imagine having 3 fleas in our midfield dominating the afl

ah we can dream

According to BF, Trevor Poole's son is cutting them up in the U16s. The problem is Trevor only played 99 games with us before heading off to Geelong. Imagine Poole jnr turning into a gun AFL player and us missing out on him as a F/S pick by just one bloody game  .

Bah!!!  Oh well.  We'd better make sure Ray Hall gets that extra game.  I don't care if he's only out there for 5 minutes...

With the bidding system theyll probably reduce the games quota...but the question is would the kid want to play with us or the cats? and second does anyone know anything about the young boy- it all seems very general at the moment.
