Hey Vader, not sure if this is the right thread for this post, but found this article about Ian Perrie who played enough games to qualify any sons as a father-son for us. As he was born in Zimbabwe and is now living back in Perth according to this article, is it reasonable to assume that if he has any sons that they would be eligible to play for one of either West Coast or Fremantle as an NGA, if said rule is still in place?

Yes, he would be eligible as either F/S or NGA, provided he was actually a member of their NGA.

I guess it's a similar situation to kids who are eligible for F/S selection by 2 (or more) clubs. The kid can choose which one he wishes to go with, or to enter the open draft.
Here's the NGA Qualification rule:
** I've only included part a), as the other parts aren't relevant in determining whether or not he's eligible.
He qualifies under (a)(ii), but he still needs to meet parts (vii) and (viii).
To be honest, I have no idea if he has any sons, though reading that article it sounds like he has children, though no indication is given about their age. Just a thought that if he does that we may not have exclusive access to them in the future, that is all. If they were good enough to get drafted we may get Borlased.

Borlase was never going to Port anyway. They didn't have F/S rights over him. His choice was Adelaide, or the open draft.
Perrie's kids will be like Eddie Betts' boys - having the choice between two F/S clubs.
I am aware that Borlase never was, nor should he have been able to go to Port as F/S. My point is that I don’t feel we should have had any special call on Borlase either. Cases like his are not why the NGA rule was introduced. Would argue the same with Perrie’s kids.

They're not the cases that the rules were designed for, but you don't change the rule just because there are a small number of outliers who are also captured by the rule.
what?

Twins, good work Megan must have been a near record labour period. Not often twins are born days apart.

Where are you getting that from? Maximilian has an older sister, Ivy, who was born in September 2019.

Sorry must have been the same birth posted twice.
According to this, there are now 2 future Graham Johncock’s in the wings now. Unfortunately the name of the younger son is not provided.

Luke Edwards starting hff for eagles this week.
We picked rowey about 12 picks before him.
What's everyone's thoughts on eagles possibly winning on a player we circled for years to be at our club?
Wasn't luke the 'chosen one' out of the Edwards kids?

I think most are just 'over' the Edwards'. No one gives a s**t anymore.

Haha. Yeah I get it, kind of feel the same way. But hate seeing something like this slip.
AFL site are already talking him up and rubbing it in "son of crow great".
He always looked AFL quality. Disappointed we passed on him.

By this point Rowe is in the double digits for games played, so I don't particularly think there is much to be upset about.
I did like Luke as a draftee. Not sure on what role he ends up but just looked like a plug and play role player to me everytime I saw him. Shame really.

It's the standard marketing ploy. Convince people they are getting a bargain to buy something they don't need just because it's cheap.
He would have been a bargain, but excluding injuries he'd be behind a lot of other similar young players, Mackay and at least one of this year's draftees.
If we picked him, there is a good chance he'd not have made the side.
If we didn't need him I'm glad he is getting a go elsewhere.

I know that this will be seen a troll.
His debut today was very pleasing, looks like we snagged a player late in the draft, thats got a long future with us.
Kids got some composure and is good in heavy traffic.
Oh and no Club ever gets it 100% right we had to watch Alec Waterman kick the sealer against us two weeks ago ........ so yes we F****ed it there too.

See my post above. I'm happy for him to get a go, but the club probably wouldn't have given him a game ahead of Mackay, so I'd prefer him to playing somewhere rather than not.
My guess is he wouldn't have played this week if not for a stack of injuries. Did well enough for a debut though.
Different position, we needed a replace for a small forward in Stengle and ask yourself why he slipped to pick 50+......
