With the great Josh Kennedy from the legendary family out for 6 weeks and an injured champion Josh Boyle also out to round three, its unfortunate, but it gives others the chance to stand up and become everyones hero, except for the old mean grumpy whited haired motor mouth who thinks there is only one player in the team. Good to see Tommy Johnson the captain and fearless loyal leader, his super fit, full of teenage hormones, willing, able and determined to smash the opposition, I've got 500 bucks on him to run top three in the Morris medal with team mates Dan Anthony and the dark horse Phil Zarra up there in the top ten. Watching footage of the great Dominater back in 1978 and you can see the physical stance of him and Tommy are similar. The Dominator was a lot slimmer back then. :)

Go Sandy
They will finish in the eight, the teams fired up and despite injuries will still have a good year, watch out for some suprise performances by boys presently unknown to Bigfooty threads, they will stand up when the time is right

hows Tomi Johnston going? hows he looking in regards to getting picked up this year? if he is left by the blues to a later pick or even a rookie pick (due to sam sheldon f/s) will he last? or will he be picked up? i notice a few weeks back he played a great game with 4 goals. hopefully he can rally push sheldon and create havoc for the blues recruiting staff. theres nothing like some good competition. atm i dont think either are worth a 2nd rounder, but hopefully one steps up so we can justifiably do so. thoughts?

Dockers stick it up the saints!!! eat your heart out saints
The AFL has awarded Fremantle the win over St Kilda, with the league's commission deciding after a special meeting on Wednesday that fairness must prevail.
The AFL Commission met for more than four hours on Wednesday afternoon, hearing submissions from both the Saints and the Dockers.
The meeting came about as a result of Sunday's match at Launceston's Aurora Stadium, which finished in a draw but only after the Saints kicked a point to level the scores several seconds after the final siren rang. A timekeeping error meant that the siren was rung off before the field umpire could acknowledge the end of the match.
In handing down the decision, AFL Commission chairman Ron Evans said that all timekeepers would be reminded again if their requirement to ring the siren until acknowledged by the field umpire and also committed the AFL to immediately improving the technology available to umpires so that they know immediately when it is the end of the match.

Zarra's good, a lot better than what others believe, but kicking a ball 80 meters and hand passing it 40 meters is a bit much to handle, maybe you mean feet? Anyway, young Anthony is doing real well and has made the final cut for the Vic metro side - without any exaggeration this kid is good

Another great win by the boys but Dan Anthony was easily best on ground, Phil had a quite game. Anyway good to see the grat Hawkins getting a go at the cats - THEY WILL NEED HIM!! THERE SEASON HAS GONE
Cats jump at chance to snare Hawkins
The son of "Jumping" Jack Hawkins will become the sixth father-son draftee on the Cats' list at this year's national draft.
After being on the Cats' radar for two years, club officials and the Hawkins family have reached a verbal agreement.
The 17-year-old, who is captain of the Melbourne Grammar team, starred for Australia in the recent international series against Ireland.
At 198cm and 97kg, Hawkins is the tall forward prospect the Cats have been desperately seeking to develop.
Australian coach Alan McConnell described Hawkins as strong and powerful in the same mould as Brown.
"He is big, strong, powerful and has a good attack on the footy," McConnell said yesterday.
"I'm not saying he is going to be Jonathan Brown, but there is a lot of Jonathan Brown in him in terms of his physical presence, and he plays a little bit the same way.
"He runs straight lines. He's not an enforcer, but he certainly has a presence and composure about him when he plays."
Hawkins has been part of the AIS scholarship program run by McConnell during the past 12 months.
Under the father-son draft rules Geelong has to part with only a third-round selection for Hawkins.
It is a deal other recruiters have described as a "gold mine" for the Cats.
"He's a beauty, a definite first-round and wouldn't have been out of place in the top 10," a rival recruiter said.
McConnell agrees the Cats are on a winner with the exciting key forward.
"Tommy would have been in the first round without any question," he said.
The Cats have been the major beneficiary of the father-son rule with selections such as Matthew Scarlett (pick No. 45) and Gary Ablett (No. 40). Other father-sons on the list include Nathan Ablett, Mark Blake and Tim Callan.
Jack Hawkins played 182 games with Geelong from 1973-81 and was named at centre half-back in Geelong's team of the half-century (1946-96).
His uncles Michael and Robb Hawkins played senior football at Geelong. A grandfather on his mother Jenny's side, Fred Le Deux, played 18 games with the Cats from 1956-58.
Continuing the links, Tom's sister Jane goes out with Cats midfielder Jimmy Bartel.
Tom moved down from the family's farm in Finley three years ago to board at Melbourne Grammar.
While eligible to play for New South Wales in next month's under-18 national championships, he has sought a clearance to Vic Metro, given he lives in Melbourne and is unable to attend any NSW training camps.
He is also expected to play some TAC Cup matches with the Sandringham Dragons.
Hawkins was exceptional in his first appearance for the Dragons in the under-18 competition last year, kicking four goals.

dan Anthony is an inform player... his position on the feild is his only let down. iv seen this boy play in other key positions like chf or even ff... he can turn a game around, if dan Anthony does step up that extra notch, and gets reckonised a little more. this guy will see results and go far with his footy... Also a great skip, unlike johnno :D

you said about Dan Anthony that "his position on the feild is his only let down". Could the same comment apply to Rodwell being used by the Dragons as a 190cm ruckman at the moment?
footy_star
9 Jun 2006, 09:00
thanks for the reply footyman... i was only stating that dan anthony playing at full back is certainly not his prefered position, i have seen dan at his best and this will not occur if he his stuck out at fb. dan is a kpp and fb is not his position... however, rodwell is not the prefered ruckman at sandy, shawry is. as you might be aware he is a school boy, so for Rodwells efforts to compete and beat his opponent around the ground is a good job... are you implying that his not suited for this role, if so where then...

Dragon will finish 7th 0r 8th this year and its good the moderator deleted the phil zarra sites, they were way over the top and took the seriosness away from 'possitive' postings.
Its now the business end of the season and we will see the best player shine - hopefully. And regardless of all the crap said abour zarra and anthoney etc, the fact is, they are good and handy footballers and may even get drafted or rookied. The dragons are are good squad so don't knock them. Last year warnock, phillips, thomas and buckely all ended up at AFL Clubs and this year at least 4 or 5 will also get the chance.

Please just stop getting on bigfooty asking questions about yourself and your form and draft ability, your a very sad boy in my opinion little man. :thumbsd: :thumbsd: :thumbsd:
Unlike kyle Rodwell himself aka footy_star, I dont rate his chances of getting drafted because his attitude sucks!! If i was him I'd start concentrating on my footy and then maybe things will come for him

Suckling is a champion but phil zarra has the abilities talents and grunt in him to be a lot better. Anthoney is the dude to watch. But without being biased, suckling is the inform dude down there at dragons.
I thought it would more fair to do a genuin under 18s player in the weekly footy record - someone like Anthony, Zarra or Sucking - Old man ****** wasn't happy with an under 19 player given recognition over the genuin under 18 players. And so he should be!!

All Victorian final :p
Victoria Metropolitan has defeated the highly-fancied Western Australia by 18 points to set-up an all-Victorian division one final in this year's NAB AFL under 18 championships.
Vic Metro 12.16 (88) defeated the Sandgropers 9.16 (70) in the second of the double-header at Skilled Stadium in Geelong on Wednesday.
Metro will now play Country in the final division one match on Sunday at MC Labour Park in Carlton, with the city slickers looking to win their third consecutive title - and their eighth since the competition went to under-18 level in 1996.
Western Australia will now play South Australia on Sunday, with both teams aiming for its first and only win of this year's carnival.
Soon-to-be Cat Tom Hawkins :) shone yet again. Resembling a young David Neitz, Hawkins booted three goals in Vic Metro's win and pulled in nine marks - included seven contested grabs.
Champion Data confirmed that Hawkins :D has now taken the second most contested marks since these records have been taken in under 18 carnivals. Only St Kilda star Justin Koschitzke, who represented New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory in 2000, has taken more contested grabs (17) in this tournament.
During the second term when Hawkins kicked his first for the day, it drew much delight and grins from Geelong coach Mark Thompson and his assistants, as they watched on from the corporate boxes with glee. Hawkins has already been claimed by the club via the father/son rule.
Others to shine for Vic Metro included Bachar Houli, who was again prominent. He claimed 25 touches and booted two goals, while Chris Dawes (two goals) and Patrick Veszpremi (two majors) were also among its best.
For Western Australia, Leroy Jetta was again a beauty. He won 27 disposals - equal most for the match - along with teammate Shawn Colbung. The highly-rated Scott Gumbleton was once again impressive. Matthew Virgo was Western Australia's only multiple goalkicker.
Vic Metro peppered the scoreboard early but failed to fully capitalise. It had six behinds on the board - including three from Hawkins - before it registered its first major. In the meantime, Western Australia opened its account via Gumbleton. Metro kicked its first through Leigh Adams and when Dawes followed up soon after, the city slickers had an 11-point lead at quarter-time.
Western Australia gained the upper hand in the second term, booting five goals to two and by half-time the Sandgropers had a 16-point advantage.
Metro meant business early in the second half when Houli kicked truly and by three quarter-time the Vics had five goals to zip on the board. Consequently for the Sandgropers, they trailed by 21 points heading into the final stanza.
Vic Metro broke away to a 32-point lead early in the final term and although Western Australia registered three of the final four goals, it proved too late.
VICTORIA METROPOLITAN: 2.6 4.6 9.14 12.16 (88)
WESTERN AUSTRALIA: :mad: 1.1 6.10 6.11 :o 9.18 (72)

Josh Kennedy signs on:thumbsu: :) :D
The Kennedy family name will be revived at Hawthorn, as the club has announced that Josh Kennedy, the son of John jnr and grandson of John snr, will be selected under the father/son rule - the club's third round pick - at this year's November NAB AFL Draft.
The club made the announcement at Waverley Park on Wednesday with the three generations of Kennedys - John snr, John jnr and Josh - in attendance, along with Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson, who said Josh was a "a quality young lad".
"We're absolutely delighted of course at the footy club that the Kennedy name continues to have such an important place in the club and it's been a long journey for Josh, because as soon as he was born, I'm sure everyone said: 'There's a Kennedy, I hope he ends up like his Dad or his Granddad'," Clarkson said.
"So he's had to carry that expectation for his whole life thus far and that's going to continue, so it's been a tough journey and it's only going to get tougher … because getting onto an AFL list is only the first step and the hardest work is yet to be done and he acknowledges that which is great.
"But we know that he comes from pretty good stock … but we think he's going to be a very good player for us."
Josh Kennedy said it was a "huge honour" and a "pretty overwhelming" experience.
"I just feel very privileged to be here and like Dad said, I realise that it's only the first step and there is a lot of hard work to be done from here on," Kennedy said.
He said it was a life-long ambition to play for the club.
"It's definitely always been in the back of my mind and always been something I've aspired to," Kennedy said.
A strongly-built 188cm and 88kg inside midfielder/utility, Kennedy is captain of Xavier College and a member of the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup.
He possesses fine leadership qualities and character and is regarded as a better kick than John jnr, although he plays in a similar style to his father.
The 18-year-old has been hindered by a knee injury this season, which denied him the opportunity to represent Vic Metro in the recent NAB AFL under 18 championships.
But after missing the past eight weeks, he returned to skipper Xavier College last weekend against soon-to-be teammate Xavier Ellis, who returned to captain Melbourne Grammar, after he played three matches for the Box Hill Hawks in the VFL.
The feats of the Kennedys are legendary. John snr played 164 matches from 1950-59, winning the club's best-and-fairest award in 1950-51-52 and 1954.
He then coached the Hawks from 1960-63 and 1967-76, guiding the club in 298 matches and recording 181 wins - including three premierships in 1961 (Hawthorn's first flag), 1971 and 1976 - while he was named the club's coach of the century. Kennedy then coached North Melbourne from 1985-89.
Kennedy snr said he hoped it "all works out well for him" when asked his thoughts.
"I try to keep out of his way. He's got a good family and he's got a father that knows a fair bit about it, so I don't burden him with any further superficial advice - except to be wary of the media," Kennedy snr said.
"I'm very happy to be part of the family. Hawthorn has been a big part of my life and John's too and I hope it'll be just as big a part of Josh's life."
John Kennedy jnr played 241 matches from 1979-91 and finished his career as a four-time premiership player, having won flags in 1983, 1986 and 1988-89.
Kennedy jnr was proud of his son, but understood that it was only the beginning of his AFL journey.
"There is still a lot of water to go under the bridge and he's got to do everything that is required to ensure that he's able to get a game and it's very competitive … there's no guarantees and he's got a lot of work to do … from here on in it's really up to him," Kennedy jnr said.
"But certainly he's got all the resources at his disposal to enable him to give it the best shot he can, but certainly he's got a long way to go yet."
The Kennedys will now join an illustrious group, becoming a select few to have three generations of a family who all played for the same club at VFL/AFL level.
