What happened with Mantons son? Wasnt he a chance last year?
I always thought the biggest reason for us not having our own team in the vfl was because the alignment with Preston was cheaper. Anyone know if that was the case.With it looking unlikely that many, if any, NAB League games will be played this year, it is going to be interesting to see how are youngsters develop.
Another issue is the demise of the alignment with Preston. Northern Blues will not be playing. Maybe a Carlton VFL may exist, maybe not. What that does to guys like the Manton boys and Kye Quirk, I cannot predict.
I thought this thread was about Peter Dean. Does he have a son or not?
Apparently he's a Dean at a university....Peter Dean fathered a son who is academic.
Pretty sure...
How's Tom Silvagni looking ahead of this draft? Has to done well enough previously to be drafted, considering he may not play this season?Tom Silvagni, Charlie McKay and Mackenzie Hogg are the three alluded to from this year's draft class.
Not a lot known to date. Fair to say not featuring on any phantom drafter's lists. Info was suggesting both Tom and particularly Charlie wereHow's Tom Silvagni looking ahead of this draft? Has to done well enough previously to be drafted, considering he may not play this season?
I seem to recall reading in the past that he was more a midfielder and shorter than the other 2, though that mightn't be true
I've read a thing or 2 on McKay and like the sounds of him, his mentality seems to be exactly what we need - workmanlike and tough as nails.
Unfortunately very little all of our FS kids needed the exposure for any type of evaluation, but read somewhere the talk of Charlie McKay showed some terrific improvement in areas of his game last year as a midfielder, unfortunately this year has for all particularly Victorian-kids stuffed things right up... We might get lucky and rookie him, then hopefully discover he’s going to end up a decent player?Found this old article: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/blues-in-dark-over-father-son-prospects-20200402-p54gll.html
Anyone know anything more about our father sons this year and to a lesser extent Henry Walsh who trained with us last off season?
Annoying year to have 4 father son prospects with Tom Silvagni, Charlie McKay, Mackenzie Hogg and Tom Gleeson.

Yeah i remember hearing that Tom was going too be the most talented of the lot a while back from somewhere, not sure if that’s true or not but hopefully he’s good enough to get a chance on the list... Personally i think Ben has the makings of a very good player if he can put it all together...Would be nice to get a steal
I remember pre even drafting JSOS Tom was rumoured to show the most natural talent. But that was many moons ago!

Iirc there were/are questions about Tom's desire to play footy too, could be wrong howeverReally, re Tom?
I thought Ben was the pick of the litter from what I've read.

Yeah I think that's probably the most correct assessmentThat sounds familiar. When Jack was being drafted the mail was that Ben was better than Jack, but his attitude/application was maybe a bit lacking. Tom was an unknown, more interested in basketball at the time?

The HUN online yesterday had a database of the >1,000 players that have nominated for next week's draft. Some of the Blues F/S names included are below. Let me know if I have missed any (Tom Gleeson not there, and I'm not sure whether Hanna and Whitnall boys are draft age).
TSOS, BSOS
Liam and Wil Hickmott
Charlie McKay
Mackenzie Hogg
Archi and Oskar Manton
Do we think there is a sneaky rookie spot available for any of these guys (excluding BSOS)? Are any of them likely to merit a spot?
PS - no mention of Charlie Gibbs or any of the Betts tribe yet - surely they can't be far away!!
If I remember rightly Lance Whitnall's older son prefers basketball. The younger one plays footy, but is a couple of years away.
