The Tim Notting/Jodie Henry partnership is the one to watch. #genetics

Interesting that we have been discussing F/S on here this week, and now I see there is an article in your CM about the FS at the Lions.

Seen him up against the Calder Cannons last year. Was impressed from what I saw. HFF'er at this stage. Capable of taking a contested mark. Will be interesting to see how he goes if thrown into the midfield this year.

Had no idea he was Scott Clayton's boy.

Very interesting to see how or if that falls out with his dad at another club.

Wouldnt think it should affect it at all, unless his dad has spoken out against it previously.

Doesn't affect our entitlement to nominate him but he still has to want to come to the club - c.f. John/Marc Murphy

Father/son is now bid on as well, so i think the more interesting part would be how much the Suns would be willing to bid. Awkward as he would have to put a worth on his own son. Difference in him wanting to come to us though, like Murphy, is that Murphy knew he was choosing between Carlton or us. Might be a different kettle of fish for him. At least with us he know he is up here with his Dad. Wonder what conflict of interest there would be with that senario though. Very weird situation.

Apparently a Lions supporter and Dan Rich his favourite player...

Well that makes it a lot more promising.

 

[MacMum]

No brainer...lets go get him then....at least he will want to be here!

That's good to see. I like the idea of former Fitzroy players getting their kids to support the Lions. Whatever he does and wherever he goes I hope that family keeps having some sort of emotional ties with the Lions.

In scary news, he hadn't turned one by the time Fitzroy played their last game. Something very sad about kids being drafted into the AFL right now who have no memory at all of the Roys.

Gold Coast aren't compelled to bid though. They might opt out. Clayton might not like the idea of having to make list management decisions on his son.

 

[Lace Out]

Yes it's a lot better for the family if he's not at GC

 

[chopperduck]

They don't have to bid, but simply ignoring him, or chasing him because he is related would kind of be impacting his role in managing the list. Just an interesting situation is all.

 

[Billy Puller]

Can the kid play though?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Can the kid play though?

Hardly relevant...

 

[chopperduck]

We find that out over the course of this year really.

Scott Clayton has spent a post-footy career drafting tallish skinny flankers. Now he's bred one.

Just read about Josh Clayton on the AFL site. Apparently Tyler Roos is another one under the father/son. Thought he was with the Swans academy? Or doesn't it matter?

A player in both academy and father/son can choose which to be nominated for, same as the Daniher boys choosing which of Essendon and Sydney will nominate them. However given Tyler's moved to Vic and playing for Sandringham, I suspect that voids his academy membership.
