Match the Son to the father

[plugger66]

So question..is this just a PR stunt by the Club to appease the frustration of the fans as weve never had an actual F/S pick..let alone a good one..or..can any of these kids actually play a bit?

Id heard Connor Harvey had no interest in playing football.

I think Bailey Rice is the oldest of this group (might be 16 or nearly 16) and is showing quite a bit (also eligible for Carlton under F/S)

Both of Frankie Coughlan's boys are in a Very Good Development Program at Sandhurst/Bendigo Pioneers (run by their old man)

Connor Harvey didn't take much interest in Footy early on but has changed

I don't know anything about the Sziller boy !!

The sziller boy can play but is small. Plays at St Peters in east Bentleigh.

Looking at that footage their a long way off being recuited !

Connor kicks it like Clint Jones!

The other lads seem to have a sound action.

Good initiative, if only to make past players feel involved with the club.

Hopefully it produces a good kid or two in the future.

Yes but she has James Coghlan as eligible for Carlton. Surely a typo??

No that was Rice son.

On family connections does anyone know what Jack Steven's little brother is like? He is coming through the falcons this year as is Goddards cousin. Dal's cousin might play his first game for the Dogs this week too.

Voss is the one with the good genes. His dad was good but his uncle was probably better.

Very good point, that's exciting.

[GoSaintersGo]

Who is the guy speaking to the boys?
Thompson, Milne and Voss - their fathers were great players and very loyal Sainters.

Frankie (Peckett, not Coughlan) standing in the background, so assuming at least one of his boys was there for the day.....

First part of your comment is factually incorrect, we've actually had 2 f/s picks. Stuart Annand 1989 ( son of Bud) and David Sierakwski 1992, ( son of Brian). We also had some sons who played for us but weren't drafted under f/s. Ian Stewarts boy in the early 90's. John Bonnie's boy at around the same time and of course Steve Lawrence (son of Barry). Unfortunately the second part of your statement is spot on! Sierra was the only one who played ok footy for us.

I reckon this is such a good thing.

Not one of them may be good enough, but it is such a worthwhile thing for the club to do.
