James Stewart

[IanW]

Way back in 2012, Knightmare had this to say about prospective Collingwood father-son pick James Stewart.

"Just depends on whether another club bid on Stewart before our first selection. Will depend on those compensation selections and our eventual ladder positioning. Unless we finish outside of the top 8 the most likely outcomes is that we will be using a 1st round selection on Stewart - which I don't have a problem with."

As it was, Collingwood declined make a father-son bid, and GWS got him with our pick 27.

He has been one of our excellent pickups of undervalued players - players that any club could have got for next to nothing, like Tim Mohr, Jonathon Giles, Adam Kenndy and Sam Frost.

He turned the first half of the Dogs game into the James Stewart show, and Im really glad he's on our list.

Thanks, Collingwood. Maybe this Father-Son bidding thing has advantages for the league as a whole.

Has Stewart been tried down back in the twos??

He's such a good mark and looks very mobile, with his height he could be a real presence in defence once we get our forwards all on deck. McCarthy just looks like a jet up forward and very natural there so maybe Stewy is tried down back or as a swingman?? Must be said he looked pretty bloody comfortable as a forward the last couple of weeks. What a find!!

At the neafl level his played everywhere from down back, wing also a bit of time in the ruck and of course forward. So given that versatility we might even see him move past Tomlinson next year

If he's got a tank I don't see why not. Geez he looks impressive, he just seems to have great footy instincts

Even if the boys get busy/lucky over summer, it will still be another 20 years before we get a father son of our own. In the mean time I'll keep going with the sons of other clubs' players. Shaw Kelly and Stewart. Keep 'em coming.
