Analysis Father/Son Selections

[BRG93]

Josh Wallis named in Calder Leadership Group

 

[doggies ftw]

How olds McPherson? 16? Hopefully he grows a bit if he's any good, don't think we can afford too many more under 180cm players. Anyone heard anything at all on Luke Kennedy?

Very surprising considering how he apparently has a bad attitude. Obviously that's false.

I don't know what you're talking about, he's got a horrrible attitude. Smokes, drinks, gets high every night, skips school all the time to go and steal stuff from people's homes. He's also really injury prone.

Wow and u know this how?

They've even started calling him "Dayle".

And boy, didn't we avoid a bullet there, despite some posters on BF. Thank heavens for BMac's "good people only" policy.

Yep, I'll admit I was one of the ones who thought we should have taken the risk so glad I'm not in charge of anything thought there was no way this would happen so quickly. Its round 2 ffs haha

Think it was more like dodging a cannonball..!

I wonder how he would have handled it if he played for one of the teams closer to home.
Who knows, maybe in a year or two we'll find out.

I can't see him getting another chance.

Dude... Come on. Come on man

 

[paulveed]

Some kids just can't cope with the discipline, and self discipline required at this level. Just goes to prove talent isn't all that is required. Good luck to the kid for his future.
I can't help wondering what effects, if any, this might have on all club's future recruiting policies though. Will the levels of 'due diligence' on kids and their backgrounds go up another notch completely?

 

[VitalDread]

Fact that he didn't even train with the VFL guys.
He has no chance unless he's playing in W.A

 

[Chris Grant]

How is young Romero going?

I couldn't seem to find his name in any of the TAC squads, hard to find anything on him of late. By google he won a div 1 league medal in the under 12's and his stats look good in the U14's. Hardly played by the look of it in the U16's. Injuries???

 

[cleveland]

Dude... Come on. Come on man

Sorry......im a bit dumb today haha

Round 2

Foster - 1 goal, 6 touches, 4 tackles
McPherson - 4 touches, 1 tackle
Cordy - Named the 5th best player. Had 4 touches (all effective) and 6 tackles. Managed to get a vote for his game here. I guess he did a good defensive job.

 

[boydsno1]

wow. None really found much of it.

 

[Fossie 32]

Fossie got 50% more possies than the 5th best plus a goal so must have been up there

 

[Turtleman3]

People I know went to the Bulldogs training at the WACA before the Freo game. They were told the club is pretty excited about Rohan Smith's boy, looking the goods at this stage, even though I think they said he is about 14, so away to go. Apparently a bit of mongrel in him too.

As you all should know, all Dogs father sons are terrible players who shouldn't even be rookied let alone selected. The Bulldogs are not even bothering to monitor them at all.

:Note to all other clubs recruiting departments!

I'm working on a proposal to submit to Peter Gordon, in which we have any head of recruiting killed should he force us to use our first pick on a father son selection. I was thinking of calling it the Ayce Cordy solution. Thoughts?
