Shouldn't he be the MacDad?

Think I must be way behind the times, but is/was it common knowledge that Fraser Gehrig (ex St Kilda) is Ross Thornton's nephew and could very well have ended up a Lion?

I actually fear for all of us If a guy who can't be trusted with a twitter account has control of nuclear weapons.
 
Fox Footy are showing re-runs of games from the 90's at the moment. I happened to turn it on very briefly during the week just as I was getting ready for work. The game was a Melbourne v Geelong game from 1994. Nothing special save that in the very short snippet I saw, Sean Wight kicked the ball out of defence, it was marked by Paul Couch but relayed back to Wight for a free who then passed straight to Jim Stynes. It was eerie.

Cant find a thread for your upcoming juniors, so i'll post this here as it may be of interest ...

earlier this year i posted on the SUNS thread;


An update.



Wylie has just been invited to trial for the Lions academy later this month.

He got B&F for his club Mt Gravatt (u18s) and came second in the Brisbane comp B&F.

Not bad for his second season of AFL. At 195cm and 100kg, Wylie has his 18 birthday, next year....

You will all be talking about this kid in a season or two. Kids of his size and talent dont come round too often.

what one finds in the random thread..

Four mentions of him this year on the Brisbane board and by a grand total of one poster. Nailed it man. For reference, Llane Spaanderman got mentioned 7 times.

You always did have it in for him Browndog.. and you were severely embarrassed when he was drafted by a blue ribbon Victorian club...ha!

But yes, the post was in 2013, and there was a lot of talk in '14 and 15. So again I was right..

Hope he gets a go in NAB cup early this season, and some games during the season in the top grade for one of the competitions premier clubs.. But I know you blokes don't. Red faces all round here, eh? haha!
