Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

Oskar Manton is the one to watch out for.

Was kicking bags of goals as a forward in the EDFL as a junior and then left to focus on basketball.

He just was cut from the final Vic Basketball Squad - but he can leap and moves very well!

Let's be honest though Silvagni isn't looking top 50 let alone 2nd round. He should end up being a bargain pick up.

Rice will be interesting.

 

[Sublime]

So if Silvagni is looking like pick 50+, then why are we so frothing for him other than his name?

 

[thylacine60]

It is this boards right to froth.......

 

[teknodeejay]

Did someone say frothy? I'm down for that!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

KoR froths on a daily......

SOSOS is doing just fine for a player who is only draftable this year by a few weeks.

SOSOS is doing just fine for a player who is only draftable this year by a few weeks.

If he was 2 weeks younger we would be frothing on how he is an awesome prospect for next year and a possible first rounder.

If we draft him we would probably not see too much of him at the club as he will be completing Y12.

Many examples of players who have been undrafted in their first year nominating and then a first round pick the next year.

M Pavlich is a prime example

Which is why we should draft him this year to get him cheaper

Have him developing as 3rd tall forward/back in the VFL for a year and go from there.

 

[bluekidjoe]

Not all SOSOS is spuds

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

There might be some conjecture if Manton's son and Casboult's son ever play on the same team together.

Which one will be known as SOB (Son of Bolt)?

 

[FootyGeek]

What a shame that Rice and Silvagni did not make the AA team.

 

[Aphrodite]

The Under-18 All Australian team is in for 2015! Congratulations to all who made it. Full squad & video here: http://afl.to/1Kz85on

 

[Blue Bloods]

Agree there is little chance he won't be on the Carton list in next years draft, so why not grab him cheap in this years draft.

This year is a so called shallow draft so can't really loss, plus an extra year of development, plus we have a SOS on the list again. Win, win, win

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The big issue is the live bidding and not being able to adequately plan for what other teams might bid.

 

[HARKER]

So if Silvagni is looking like pick 50+, then why are we so frothing for him other than his name?

Nothing to back this up but Silvagni may well be a Buckley for Carlton
No-one really rated him but the kid has put in just so much to make good.

Nothing to qualify this either but Jack doesn't come across a a loafer and would obviously be keen to not let down his dad/family name.
For a later pick, I'd welcome him with open arms..................and he is rather cute also.

 

[ferrisb]

Been keeping an eye on the BF Phantom Draft. Not taking it as gospel, but provided some food for thought.

Rice went at pick #46 and Silvagni not taken yet into the 60s.

IF that transpired, we could pick up Rice with our 4th round (pick 58) and Silvagni could be taken at the end of the draft...

Neither are assured to star at senior level, but I reckon they look more than the goods for our last two picks. Add in three high-ish picks and hopefully we come away with a strong crop....

 

[thylacine60]

any chance of hanna jnr making it?

Talk about Father-Son lookalikes. Kid was born with no hair whatsoever.

 

[MileHigh]

We got SOSOS2 (Ben) in 3 years and then SOSOS3 (Tom) 2 years after that. Itd be pretty amazing to have all 3 running around in the same team. Could you imagine? Someone starts on one of them and the other two come over and swarm em like the bash bros from Might Ducks.

 

[Weiterbot23]

You'd think the younger ones would have an advantage over Jack.

- they have grown up kicking the footy/wrestling with the older Jack, plus will see him go through the trainings, diet etc
-the media hysteria will be greatly reduced
-hopefully we will be higher on the ladder and there is less need for a saviour


As for Jack, the fact that hes young for his year, been limited to school footy until recently (APS is so overrated it's a joke, ACC is its equal) and that his dad has stopped feeding him 2 days before a game to limit his output should see him make big improvements.

Could be like the Cloke brothers... Worst (oldest), serviceable (middle), star (youngest)

What is he, a greyhound? Hopefully Jo showed the kids some love.

At any rate, both you and jj1978 have a point. Not to mention the youngest Selwood being the best of the lot. Yep, we got ourselves a bonafide father/son coming our way in 5 years.
