Mega Thread The Father-Son Mega thread - 2019

[bradburygold]

Is the rookie list going to be around much longer?

Not likely but mooted change is the main list will be expanded, late round picks will only have 1 year contracts so essentially still low risk rookie type deals

A poster who is related to the Langford boys stated on this thread earlier that James is far and away the pick of the litter, a very very good footballer. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the club has quietly asked to concentrate on school footy and stay off the radar of TAC scouts. Having said that I've never seen him play nor have a read any reports so hopefully someone here can help out as we are due some luck with the Father Sons!

Not sure if it was me, the langfords have a very big extended family! Yes far and away is correct. His parents prefer them to focus on schooling in year 12, theyve all blitzed VCE (and Chris is a highly successful businessman), so no this isnt a club directive

Gary Lyon mentioned this morning, that Barry Mitchell, was down at Xavier this year .
I'm sure he would know just how good James Langford could potentially be .

It was a north supporter.

I've also heard Jamie is the best Langford, also very interested in the huge wraps on Nathan Dear, he's only in
year 8 but from reports is an absolute standout.

Surely if Ben Jarman can get a rookie spot then Devlin is half a shot.
Jarmans problem was his lack of pace, which doesn't appear to be a problem for Devlin.
Looks like he has some decent guns on him also

Speed not an issue for Brereton, his pre-season testing for speed (over 20 metres) was above average in comparison with other players of his type, while his vertical leap and beep test results were around the average mark (so on par) in comparison to other TAC players of his type. Haven't actually seen him play so can't comment on any of that but athletically he is ok by the looks

hopefully has a fair bit of his dads competitive spirit too

'Bishop' over in the TAC Cup thread wrote ' Finn McGuinness is the one to watch ' I asked him for more info and he said that Finn is one of the most talented players in the sandy Drangons u16 program.
Hopefully we get a gem and a bargain in the 2019 draft

These father and sons couldn't have come at a better time.

Anyone got an update on Brereton or Langford at all?

I see Brereton is named in the Sandy dragons team for Sunday

The club won't be eternally patient with Will Langford

 

[Walshawk]

Harry played FF for our reserves last weekend. Kicked 3.7

Kicks like his dad then.

Langford named in the best for xavier in round 2. Not in the best in round 3, unless "Langer" is a misprint!

Finn Maginness kicked a couple and named in the best for Scotch a College this week also. (Assuming F Maginness is Finn)

Langford won a Premier's award for his year 12 subject he completed in year 11. So if he doesnt work out he can do the clubs financials - smart cookie!

Jordan Lewis announced tonight on 360 twins on the way.

Jordan Lewis announced tonight on 360 twins on the way.

He even said 3 boys running around for Hawthorn. Though possibly tongue in cheek.

Apparently after the strut test he punched the assessor in the mouth until he was given a perfect 10.

Hopefully they can get a bit of speed from the dam's side.

He Better not play 100 games for Melbourne

For Melbourne, there would be between 22 and 24 games per year. Take out 3-5 weeks off for injury and suspension, it is likely 19 or less games in a year. That means a sixth year on contract. Possible, but unlikely.

Isnt it funny, ive always thought weve had very little cheap access to talent compared to the likes of Syd, Ess and Geel etc over the years. Our FS prospects have seemingly been undewhelming.

Then all of a sudden theres an article released today about our 10 or so academy kids over the next 3 drafts and names like Langford, Brereton and Maguinness all start to become a reality.

As a previous poster mentioned it couldnt have come at a better time.

Just need a Daniher, Hawkins, Scarlett, Heeney, Mills or an Ablett to pop up!

Hopefully being a smart cookie isn't the only thing he gets from the old man!
