Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

[FootyGeek]

I've always been curious as to the rules surrounding F/S genetic eligibility. Obvious - you might say, which would be true for the majority of kids, but over the years many a footballer would have sown their genetically rich oats either prior to (or even outside of ) marriage with unplanned birth of a son being the result. Begs the question, what happens in the situation where:

• a kid may have been adopted by a >100 game player - is he eligible as F/S?
• a kid may have been told by his single Mum that his father was actually star player X - does he need to supply a DNA test?
• in this day and age where kids don't always take their Dad's surname if the marriage broke up early on, is the kid still eligible and would he be accepted given his name is different than the ex star?

There's probably a bunch of other unusual situations. I wonder how many players became stars as sons of guns but either didn't know their father or had to keep it a secret to not embarrass said ex star.

Maybe some posters out there know of actual situations like this that they could elaborate on (with all names withheld to protect the guilty of course).

If Dean Jones was a good footballer we might have got lucky.

Will be better than Jack. Bigger bodied and better mark.

I was pretty excited that Jack finally managed to take some pack marks at the end of the season. Hopefully he will benefit from the Russel efect on the overall team fitness.

Doesn’t sound like the guy that some on here were describing with authority. Doesn’t care. Not interested. Lacks the desire. Next time you want to peddle bs do it somewhere else.

You're conveniently omitting the serious criminal charges, the multiple knee, shoulder and spine reconstructions and substance abuse issues that would make Shaun Ryder blush.

he'd tell you he was - over and over and...........

If BSOS does have motivation issues it will be interesting to see what role Russel plays in his development. Several Hawks people have said his mental insights are as beneficial to players as his training strategies.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. Reckon AR will be our best acquisition over the off season.

It’s always the mummy’s boy type. Good looking, clean cut. They get away with murder. (Unlike a Saudi hit squad).

Where did Bernie go wrong?

I'm also of this opinion. I can't wait to see the how the team changes this year as a result

You are correct of course but if I may add a few close cliches.

You’ll never, ever know, if you never ever go.

You have to be in it to win it.

Do these Curls that get the girls, help us nab a Brownlow medalist at pick 71?

All that means is that we're happy to let him through the national draft, at which point we can pre-select him as a rookie.

All this makes me wonder if we might look at taking Daniel Hanna of *s hands as his stats in the TAC are actually pretty good for a big man. May be the type to look good in some games and go missing in others, though.

Right-o. Hope no one takes a late shot in the NOV draft then but assume due diligence is done on possibilities (if indeed we do not nominate Wil).

Has anyone been picked under such circumstances before making it to rookie pre-selection?

Jarman (delisted) & Edwards from Adelaide were taken this way, yeah?

Might just be that we don't rate them any higher than most of the other late/rookie picks - so we're happy to wait and see who is available late in the draft, and confident that there's nothing lost if we don't get them.

Maybe our preference for late pick mids is mature agers? Bolton, Schloithe, Grigg, Gibbons etc.

Risky move considering Liam (or Will) was at the state combine, meaning he was requested by more than two clubs.

As our picks are late, if we don’t nominate it’s a pretty clear indication that we are not fussed by them.

It was Wil.

He was overlooked for the national combine, so very broadly speaking wasn't considered in the top 80 prospects.

State combine invite shows he was still on some radars, but there were 126 players invited to state combines (on top of the 80).

His combine results will have improved his rating, but he's still a late ND to rookie prospect.

 

[Arr0w]

Unless there are massive sliders, I would add Will to the list, along with his brother
