List Mgmt. NGA, Father son watch

[cleanhands]

Confirmed by Malcolm Ashwood (who does history at the redlegs) but from a conversation with Jim.

Maybe the games don't add up, but Jim should probably know if he's eligible.

Just while we are on port supporters, father sons and the AFL screwing over SA clubs, Fabians Francis played 33 games for Port immediately before they joined the AFL and then 88 for Port in the AFL. If he had played for a Vic side, JHF would have been a father son.

Malcolm Ashwood is pretty diligent in his research

 

[Peter Doherty]

I don't know much about this kid, but if he wasn't any good the Port Power supporters probably wouldn't be sooking.

They sook about anything that doesn’t go their way

To be fair, he couldn't get the games count to work in our favour. Hence the direct chat.

So Jim basically just said "yep make him eligible"

Public housing, lack of Social security offices , expensive dentistry… yeh life

did he write that book they were selling at grounds last year? can't recall the name of the book?

Haven’t seen it but I believe he has been doing a lot of research for some reason, has been a life long supporter since he was a kid

More Jim saying that he had had it confirmed (I'm assuming by the AFL) that he was eligible.

I would have thought if he was on it with jim, they would know better than anyone of the eligibility of max

Was he also one of the scoreboard attendees at norwood when they had the old manual scoreboard up the northern end?. If so he is one funny bugger. The abuse that used to come from that scoreboard was legendary

Yes, that is correct.
There was plenty of chatter about Michalanney at the game today and a couple of interesting conversations amongst Norwood officials but the general consensus was that he is eligible

Fabian's not his biological father so surely it wouldn't matter

AFL brought in a rule in about 2014 that they would allow adoptive father's if they spent the last 4? Years in their household or something like that to stop people from doing a blindside type of thing

Surely you jest, that can't be serious

If it's only 4 years we should be adopting elite kids

Ricciuto needs to go out and foster a few of the top draftees - Keeler, Phillipou, Lemmey.

well I guess that's my bad for using common sense and not the AFL's preference of overcomplicated nonsense

Volunteer work, I wouldn't do it if you paid me.

What if a player had a father who played 100+ games for one club and a step-father who played 100 at another?

Would they both count?

The AFL have ridiculous rules so they sway them in favour of Vic clubs.

Pretty sure the kid has to be 14 or under when the step father comes on the scene, can't just adopt an elite 17 year old
