Jacob Townsend. Overlooked?

[BeligerentBlue]

GWS Sydney have got the son of our own Greg TOWNSEND running around for them. (if the commentators got it right) We normally look at the sons of ex-players even if they didn't play the required amount of games. Jacob looked a bit like Robbo in his attack on the ball the other night and it just seems like he might be one that got away ala Lloyd.

There is no way your recruiters would have overlooked Townsend as a possible F/S selection. The kid has been a gun for the better part of a year now! Extremely surprising if that was the case.

Which commentators said that?

definitely overlooked...

Townsend was recruited via GWS zoning concessions. Don't think Carlton had a chance at him and anyways, how can townsend be the son of towns?

It's all explained in the end.

Yeah, my bad, must be still high after last night. They mentioned his dad played for Carlton and my mind immediately went to Greg Towns.
I'll have to watch that stinking game again unless I misheard.

Liked the look of Townsend , very willing type on debut .
Wish Watson showed some of that intensity but its early days yet i guess ???

Greg Town? He also played for Footscray I am sure of.

Yep, a Tassie lad to boot.
