Mega Thread Potential future father-son selections

[Kobe Gryant]

So we'll end up with 4 ruckmen??

Oscar is more third tall height at present. Might end up around the 195cm mark by the time he's drafted though.

Hopefully he's a gun. For how persecuted we are for our father sons, we haven't had a 'gift' in almost 20 years now with Hawkins.

So is Kingy boys still are under and the Gold Coast access even if they moved back to Victoria?

 

[goyoucatters]

So we'll end up with 4 ruckmen??

Yes and no, perhaps.

Yes, in the sense that the list might contain four players who are basically designated as rucks.

And no, given that recent history strongly suggests that there will never be more than one or two of them available to actually play football at any one time.

Didn't the 07 team all have sons?
Hopefully they bear some fruit but I'm waiting for the rules to change just as we are about to prosper

He looked around 185 plus. Very athletic.

We will haven't had a player bid on as F/S or NGA right?

The rules have already come in to screw clubs over

Oscar is more a tall forward.

They haven't fulfilled the residency requirements. You have to live in the northern academy zone for at least 5 years to be eligible and the King boys only spent 3 years on the Gold Coast playing for Burleigh and Broadbeach. The same thing happened to Lachie Weller after spending 4 years in the Suns academy - he wasn't academy eligible and went into the open draft where Freo snapped him up.

Had Steven King not been given the senior coaching job at Melbourne and the rumours were true about him returning to QLD to take up an assistant coaching role with the Suns/Lions, then Oscar would've completed the required 5 years to be academy eligible for the Suns. I think that's probably why the mum and kids returned to the Gold Coast last year while Steven completed his final year at Geelong.

So I guess you can inadvertently thank the Dees for potentially landing 4 future F/S picks. Although, it's entirely possible that Oscar would've picked Geelong anyway even if he was academy eligible for the Suns like we saw with Kalani White last year.

GC2015.

I hope one of the boys took a speckie over a goal ump at least once.

Haha don't know if he's tall enough for that at the moment. As has been pointed out, he's in the third tall mould at the moment around 190cm. You can see in this pic from the U16 National Championships last year that he's not significantly taller than the small forwards (yet). We'll see how he develops at Oakleigh over the next 18 months and he'll be doing it alongside another son with links to the Gold Coast - Ted Fraser (son of former Pie/Sun Josh). Those two could end up being a deadly combo in the CTL next year if they get it going.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

what do we have in the pipeline this year and next?? And how good are they??

 

[thegerman]

Is Steinfort still no go?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Is Steinfort still no go?

Unfortunately yeah. My hope he is he gets pre-listed by Tassie and we get him back within 3 years, which is a decent possibility.

That really sucks.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

100%. The one silver lining is those kids live and breathe Geelong.

I've got a family member around their age, and they told me Tom (the eldest) apparently runs a Geelong fan page on TikTok lmao.

I've got little doubt one (if not all three) will play for us one day, we just might have to wait a little longer unfortunately.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So is Kingy boys still are under and the Gold Coast access even if they moved back to Victoria?

No they will be in the open pool because of relocating ala lachie weller-unless they want to nominate Geelong FS.

any draftees first or second round quality coming thru this year or next?

Is he actually any good?

 

[thejester]

Is he actually any good?

Think he's been getting reasonable wraps. Suspect a bit will depend on how tall he gets.

 

[Yoda_]

Who is the resident Falcons watcher in here please peeps?



Keen to hear how Tom Caracella goes. Blake's son is a 17 year old development listed on the Falcons list. Would be good to hear if anyone has seen him play at all

I’m assuming from even just this it would be more late to rookie.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

We seem to have a lot of father sons, but all of them more VFL or senior local quality
