Lucky there is no uncle-nephew rules.

He is in our academy but wants to go play for the Swans - ungrateful little turd ;)
He has 5more years in the academy then 2 on our list to make up his mind.
Then if Sydney desperately want him for the Lockett fairy tail they can pay 2 first rounders for him

At least he can kick, that puts him ahead of a few already

Holy shit! That page says he kicked 44 goals in 17 games this year for the southport under 19s! That's very impressive for a 17 year old. No wonder he was voted the best and fairest in the under 19s league! I think we could definitely use a goal kicking ruckman. He could even be that third tall goal kicker we've been looking for. Does anyone know his height?
Did anyone find out if Valentino Beynon (The Candymans son) was in our academy or not ?
Kicked 44 goals in 17 games last year and He's kicked 31 goals in his first 4 games this year http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_...197501541&client=1-109-151328-406814-25158870

with our past cultural issues, i would have thought it would have been pretty clear.
surely they won't pass on a kid with huge potential because his dads got a bad name around town. This kids looks like a star of the future big body ruckman that can rest forward and kick a bag of goals

I'm sure he's a decent kid, and a good footballer, but I can just imagine the PR nightmare his family could cause. you think we've got enough problems? well suddenly all of their problems would have our club plastered all over the news articles.

just this year this kid was in the local headlines, going to court to file a restraining order or something against one of his neighbours. I'm all for home grown talent, but not at the potential to further drag our brand through the mud.

You pick the kid up.. Then trade him for first round picks... Preferably to GWS or the Pies

Winning :D
