with discussion about the father/son rule i thought i'd see if anyone knows of any players we are eligble to get in the next 2-3 years??

i know of 1, had a news story about him last year

Jessie Aish


mods, perhaps this should be stickied for future reference/players to be added
 
It should be noted we have to use a second round draft pick on any players so they have to be worth the pick.

yeah, but at the time they must have been close??
graham surely would have played the required amount of games?

yet, kane cornes was within our reach yet....laurence angwin... :(

Under the previous rules which counted officials, Graham needed to coach one more year - his fifth - for Chad to be eligible in his year (1997).

After the rules were reviewed and modified following the Bryce Gibbs question, both Cornes brothers would have been eligible to us under the F/S Rule. Same goes for Matthew and Jonathan Robran.

So in a double kick in the guts, the AFL made it so we could've had all four sons of guns for peanuts (irrelevant now, obviously) AND we didn't get Bryce.

To be honest I could take or leave Kane Cornes. He has far too many Matt Connell playing traits.

Yeah a totally rediculous decision and didnt cover the black whole from 1991-1997 where we arent entitled to anyone because of lack of AFL games for players during this time and the SANFL not being covered. Hopefully the rule isnt scrapped before the Jarman kids etc come through.
 
Bump...

Wasn't sure which Father-Son related thread to post in, so this'll do.

Connor McLeod, today won his primary school's award for excellence in the fields of sport and/or music. He is apparently a very gifted tennis player, soccer player, singer, and most importantly.....footballer.

Let's hope his chosen path is that of Football, rather than brat tennis player like all the other recent Aussie males, or soft/greasy soccer player.

His singing talent may come in handy leading the boys in the team song following each of the 5 consecutive grand final victories from 2019-2023 :thumbsu:
