Isn’t he mature age?? I thought he was draftable last year but nobody selected him.

He has moved over to Vic and is playing as a 19yo on Falcons list. The two FS on their list now ... be handy if someone was KP size.
Know if will Killpatrick is any good??

Baxter Mensch on the VFL list this year right? Be interesting to see if he still accumulates high possession numbers there
Remember the excitement when we had Hawkins come through. Remember watching some of his school APS games... triple teamed on a weekly basis yet still marked everything kicked to him.
Only once in a hundred years do you get that sort of talent gift wrapped for you at pick 40.
Changed the rule because of Hawkins as I understand it as he was an absolute certainty to be pick no 1 taken by Carlton.

Yes and No. Yes Hawkins as a Father Son was just too much for the other clubs to stand after Ablett and Scarlett and Blake and the others..etc.
but then to get Hawkins and also be able to call Selwood with P7 just put those , that never seem to be able to have a FS in a state football apoplexy.
Never again would a club be able to double dip.

Another short FS... our lucky run of tall Fs seem to have run out.

Scarlett, Hawkins, Blake and Nathan Ablett.
Any others?

Woolnough would have been good bar injury.

Wasn't it Heeney to Sydney that screwed us?

Regardless of height he still seemed to get his hands on it. Not saying we should go draft him, would just be interesting if he continues his stats, especially high tackle numbers in a few games if i remember correctly

Not specific to him or be derisive about his chances ... just that we could do more with a young tall than yet another couple of mid options.
Unfortuetly the way the genes have fallen .. you would think Brownless and Mencsh ..may have had a tall kid..at least as tall as them if not taller.
In a way it proves my point that the Academies that the Northern clubs have should be more beneficial than FS.

If you want an indication of height for someone's children check the height of their siblings/parents. Reversion to the genetic mean gets you. If you have a son taller than the rest of the family he'll still carry the genes for being short. I think Henry has a tall brother right? Pump 100 games into him and find him a netballer for a girlfriend and you'll get get some tall F/S or daughters i would say

Henry's brother doesnt look overly tall ... I think you are thinking about Sam Walsh' brother Henry Walsh ..who is u17 and already over 200

I think Heeney was the one who forced them to introduce points

A father & son option we never knew about 
1st article (Fox Footy, from last year): For Calder, Jake Riccardi — son of Peter — racked up 16 disposals and two score assists.
2nd (AFL today discussing mid-season draft): Jake Riccardi, son of former Cat Peter, celebrates a goal for Werribee in R3 of the VFL.
Good to see no one bothers to fact check anymore and just trust that what someone else has posted is correct
