Mega Thread The Father-Son Mega thread - 2019

[Mitchell54]

2015-16 was a fruitful year at Hawthorn for father-son qualifiers with Schoenmakers, Bruest, Suckling, Stratton, Shiels, Smith and Puopolo all crossing the magical 100 games mark for the club.

Next cabs off the father-son rank are: Brendan Whitecross 97 games and Taylor Duryea 86 games.

There is a bit of a dearth after that with next 2 being: Ben McEvoy on 55, Jonathon Ceglar on 50 and Will Langford on 46

In 20-25 years we might have quite a few F/S to qualify for Hawthorn.

What position does he play and is he tall like Lachlan or more like Will.

He plays like Will, but with better foot skills and footy smarts, absolute gun. Also worth noting he was the sports captain of Xavier, so may be a natural leader.

Should have been in year 10 in 2016 but no idea if they are even still playing the game.

Tom and Charlie Loveridge have just been selected in UNDER 18s SCORPIONS BOYS SQUAD 2016/17 in cricket so sadly no dice there.

Does that mean they don't play footy any more?

There have been many top junior cricketers who have chosen footy. Shannon Hurn was one who made a choice in favour of footy.

 

[streetspirit]

Just means we can add them as Cat B rookies instead of having to take the F/S bidding saga in the National Draft!

Similar to Will Langford via the NSW scholarship scheme.

Unless I missed him I see no mention of Langford.v3. There is however mention of Derm's son Devlin Brereton.

So maybe one of our posters in the know might be able to shed some light. Maybe this is just an oversight by Twomey and not a reflection of player ability.

James is draft eligible, his just been playing school footy. He will however be playing with oakleigh this year.
Finn maginess is also eligible and I know there are big wraps on him internally at the club.

Ash Browne, if you read this please sssshhhhh.

Thanks for the info. Do you know where Finn will be playing his footy this year?

Also, did you mean eligible this year, or just F/S eligible for HFC? From what i can see he was playing U15 last year. Not sure if that's right though.

Yep, he turns 16 this year. Here's an article I dug up from 2013

2017 father sons, Langford MKIII yeah?

Been told Wright is not sure about him yet. Looks like he's not a standout atm.

 

[LuckyHawk]

Met a kid who knows Nate Dear (son of Greg?). In year 8 at a great footballing school and said he is easily
the best player there. l suppose we have to be patient with this one.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Has not been mentioned in any early phantom drafts and their has been no talk of him being a decent prospect apart from on these boards.

I would suggest unless he has an outstanding year he will be lucky to get rookied the same way as Lachie.

Yep, things can change but he might start out as a Box Hill player.

Bizzare. I thought all the wraps had been very high on him? Got lazy? Didn't progress? Or maybe just needs a break out yet.

 

[LuckyHawk]

I heard the wraps too, he is supposed to be the best player of the three even though the old man thought
Lachie was.

Ironic really given Will probably has to have a massive year also to stay on the list.

If they both have great years they could be playing together next year. Alternatively it seems if both have less then average years neither will be on our list next year.

Nate is Paul's son. Goes to St Bedes at Mentone. Shows a lot of promise

Will is contracted to 2019 I think. He is around for a while yet.

 

[Dewnior]

So now the Hawks website has O'meara only kicking a goal. Are they trying to reel this in again?

Wrong thread cwh

 

[tripleh]

He's been playing school footy and school players don't get noticed as much as TAC cup players. Look at Ollie Hanrahan this year, he played school footy and nobody knew anything about him but we took him as a rookie. I have been told James was a good player at school level but how that translates in the grand scheme of things who knows but what I have seen of him he looks like a jet. Time will tell.

I thought LuckyHawk said he (Nate) went to great footballing school

 

[MrPremiership]

Good to see Devlin Brereton named for the Sandy Dragons in the TAC Cup comp for 2017, wearing the number 23 also.

I think he is in year 10 at Scotch, a mates kid played against him last year, apparently very good midfielder, also a pretty good middle distance runner in Athletics as well. If he is good you would expect he would be playing 1st football in the APS comp this year. Still would be under 16 in year 10 so maybe not TAC Cup yet?

That name though.
