Good news!

I hope he continues to tear it up.

The AFL is planning to change the father-son rule for the 2024 draft.
It recognises that Geelong and Collingwood have been massive winners of father-son no matter what the rules.

So they intend to change the rules so that all clubs can make early selections of any eligible father-son players as happens now.
But the change is an early draft pick can NOT be matched by his father's club.
A late pick will however be able to be matched by the father's club.

The AFL as yet does not know the boundary between matching and not matching.
They first have to calculate where this St Kilda father-son pick will fall and ensure the at that pick St Kilda can not match.

It is already being referred to as the F-St Kilda rule.

I heard there has been a change to thr above rule. Any team can actually match the bid. Except St.Kilda. They will need to pay double

[D.B.Cooper]

Rookie selection option at absolute best IMO.

Frankie Pickett will be a possible father daughter selection.

Unfortunately I don’t rate Boston Everett as a high end talent either.

Still, things can turn in a short period of time at that age so fingers crossed.

I’m waiting and hoping I’m still around when the Reivolt & Hayes boys come through

Rooeys boys could be taller than the Kings given his and his wife’s height

[B.M]

He was a good junior (not the best in team, that was Cooper Hynes)

He made a senior debut at 16 in the MPNFL

I see him as a solid VFL player in the future, perhaps with some AFL attributes but a bit to work on

I see him as a Arryn Siposs/Bailey Rice level at the same age

[Bruce G McAbee]

Does he have a brother named Jake?

[Otiman]

Does he have a brother named Jake?

I heard they might get recruited by Carlton.

[magnifisaint]

I love how some of you can tell the future.

[B.M]

Not tell the future

But good judges can predict how a kid might turn out

Wilson - will be good (at worst Seb Ross level)
Garcia - will be better (the steal of the draft)
Collard - I am not sure about yet, haven’t seen enough yet
Schoenmaker- only his application will hold him back

Phillipou - will take some time but end up being good
Keeler - Hopefully, but is speculative atm
Hotton - I think is a bust, unless he improves quickly
Van Es - doubt he will be on the list next year

[magnifisaint]

We all live in hope.

I believe Catherine Riewoldt was a champion in the sport of cheerleading (it's true). Knowing our luck, her three boys will follow her into cheerleading, which is now a professional sport in the USA.

Before anyone scoffs, men are important parts of the teams as they are used to "catch and carry" the gymnasts and others who perform the routines.

Not selected for Vic Country in trial squad.

I would love Rooeys boys to come to saints but it will never happen they live in the US and not coming back any time soon and even if they do the boys don't play footy they are into US sports.
He wonts to move back but his wife is happy there so its a shame but what the wife wonts happens.

What ab out the Academy GC should not be able to match a pick inside the top 40 and all the other teams should try and get the GC rule changed or allow teams to pick there academy player after the top 20-30 which how it used to be and have it for everyone even GC otherwise what is the point in putting money and recourses into your academy if you are a Vic team.

It would be no skin off the GC noses if all the academy rules were the same. none at all.
