Father Son

[SaintTom]

With Daniher going to the Dons, Viney to the Dees and Hunter going to the Dogs, and with the talk in some other threads about players like Ablett being father son picks...it has me thinking. I'm sure this has been talked about in years past, but does anyone know if we have any potential father son picks coming? Hard to tell if they're too young whether they'll be worthwhile, but are there sons of former players in their teens who are tearing it up for their age group and look likely to be worthwhile drafting in a few years?

[Yaysaints]

Uh no. All daughters.

I recall reading that Frankie Peckett has 5 boys.

Wasn't much good though.

Would we have won a second flag if there was no father son rule?

Yep but still like the rule even in this preofessional times.

OK spill the beans. How come I have never heard of a former son of the red, white and black being a little more comfortable in a pink chiffon number with a frilly gusset?

[whiskers3614]

Think triple Brownlow medallist!

[whiskers3614]

NO Skilton never played for us!

Ben Stewart.

[supersaints]

We should get past players to each adopt a young gun junior...

Sam Loewe is Buckets boy, there is also Connor Harvey, Max Houghton has a son, Schneider has a son (who is not eligible for swans as did not play enough games), Franky Peckett has a couple of boys. That's for starters so our time will come PROVIDING the AFL does not change the rules.

Pretty sure S. Loewe shot up later in his teens. Here's hoping!!!

Guess we are all waiting for Harves son Connor to age a little more and hope that footy is his bent. Tho he might be like dad and his great uncle and be handy cricketer too.

A few season ago (maybe 3) Alan Sidebottom came to one of the Western Saints function. On our famous double decker bus ride to Subi.,Alan was telling us about his lad. Said he was showing a lot of promise I think he was about 15-16 years old. They lived down the Sth West somewhere, Alan was dirty that the AFL had changed the father/son rule to 100 games as his boy wouldn't be eligible for father/son to Saints, and could go anywhere....... if he was good enough to get drafted to AFL.

dean rice has a son who played in a rep side against wrfl under 14 about 2 years ago ,looked very good

Also played 100 at Carlton though

[saintbrat]

assuming it's still the 100 game level for eligibility
Rice eligible- 116 games
Sidebottom Not- 55 games

last I heard Connor was still more keen on cricket

Max's boys are only young- much younger than Sam Loewe
Frankie's boys most likely
Gilbert McAdams boy good but not eligible.

we could be waiting for Tyson Milne

[whiskers3614]

Tyson good name for a dog, mental picture of scragging & biting(particularly round the ear region)

Hopefully he doesn't play footy like his uncle

Our Grandfather Grandson pick was good.....but he left us for the Pies.

Last father sons in Chad and Stevie both had issues. Chad was suspended for a most unusual offense....and Stevie was just a nutter off the field.
