A bit harsh but entirely accurate.
You need to remember that caliber of players who "mentored" SOS from mid-80's. SOS Jr. will not have that luxury. He will be thrown to the wolves!
I don't know, he has his father after all, probably knows a thing or two about football.
Carlton should be bending over backwards to get Wayne Carey on board as a specialist talls coach. He's a magician when it comes to teaching tall forwards how to play.

The NSW and Queensland clubs will compare our F/S longshots to their development academies that scout elite athletes. 
All about keeping players in NSW.
Yet Tippett, Kennedy, McGlynn, Everitt, Shaw, Richards, Laidler and Buddy have all moved North to play with the Swans.

to compare the Academy selections to father son is a rort, unless your geelong or the doggies you don't get a potential father son every year like the northern states will get.

Not to mention father sons are more about luck. Whereas academy picks are actually the best talent in their zone.
Was a reasonable Teal Cup player from memory.
EDIT: Just did a search - was All Australian.

Just did some fb stalking and I have no reason what so ever to think that Jack will go to any other club other than Carlton.
There's a pic with him and Yaz and one of the Juddster as a cover pic makes me excited!
If he turns out half as good as his dad, we will have a gun player for the next 12 or so years!!!

Our father sons have been a bit skinny in recent times... with such a strong team in the 80's, a little dispapointing.
Hopefully our players in the 90's will start to have a few come through. Unfortunately Fev and Lappin had all girls, might be the same deal with A. Mckay?
I know that Ratts, Kouta and Campo all had a few boys.

Just 1 a year would be nice from here on. Don't want 4 to come through at once and us only able to get the one.
Campo had twin boys I think.
Brad Pearce might have a few kids out there that he doesn't know about.

Gee, Brad had sex. Wink Wink.....
No you actually want multiple f/s selections in the same year. This is what happened with the WB when Wallas and Libba came through together, there were able to pick up one (Wallis) with their 1st rd selection (#22) and the other (Libba) with their 2nd rd selection (#41). They also had the good fortune of doing this in the GCS establishment year so they were able to get x2 VERY good players while the GCS raped the draft of talent and the rest of us got the scraps (Watson with #18, who will HOPEFULLY turn things around soon !!!!!!!!)
Please don't use the word 'rape' in relation to football.

Not sure if thats applicable anymore. It either has finished and you can only get the one, or its in discussions of being canned due to equalisation.
If you have 3 f/s coming through and they are all deemed first round selections, I am sure now (or coming) that you get the one and if others want the others, than its open slather.

I'd forgotten about Camporeale.
What a great player he was.

HCJ view comes from this article in the Age today
Andrew Newbold urges overhaul of father-son and academy picks in drive towards equalisation
Basically highlights a push towards a "pure" draft and to have f/s and academy bidding more appropriately priced. One suggestion was to make it only 1 player/year.
