Yep watched him on Sunday. Not an AFL footballer. I reckon Carlton picked up a good one though. menzal is going to be a star. Did well against Port Melbourne on Sunday.

by the way this artile was n 2009.
FRANKIE and Teresa raise their family on a large block in Chelsea. Their daughter Tiarn is 17 while the next five are boys (Sam, 13, Sonny, 7, Jet, 6, Elwood, 3, and Ace, 17 months). The seventh is due later this month. With such a preponderance of boys, the backyard is a riot of wrestling, karate, dirt bikes and ball games. On most nights in winter, Peckett arrives home to find the three middle boys having a kick in the backyard while dressed in head-to-toe St Kilda gear. On Saturdays, the boys go to Karingal games with him. "They love it," Peckett said.

Sam Loewe has played more than 50 games for the Zebs ( East Sandringham Junior Football Club u/13s ) and has played in the South Metro interleague.


anyone know if Frankie's sons are playing footy?

Was Siera the only father son?

Chad Davis?

Good ball man.

Keep it nice. He gets very testy when that is mentioned.

With a nice large group present
Interesting to hear Stewie say it's the first time he's been back

[savatage]

Yeah I was a little surprised to hear that as well! Very good initiative, at worst - it's great for the past players to re-connect & still feel a part of the club.

[kp83]

What about Milney's son Tyson.

Plays under 12's for Cheltenham I think. Apparently he's a gun at that level, but who knows whether that means anything in 8 years...

Still, another Saints fantasy we can have I guess!

an actual program will run with the young guys.
http://www.saints.com.au/news/2013-05-1 ... orkstation

With this in mind, the Saints have created a father-son induction program to help the club develop any potential recruits.

St Kilda head of football Chris Pelchen said it was important the club harnessed potential father-son talent.

"The father-son rule is unique to the AFL competition and provides an opportunity for clubs to continue a family's football heritage through priority access to recruiting young players whose fathers have represented their chosen team in 100+ VFL/AFL games," Pelchen said.
"St Kilda is the only Victorian team to not have a father-son player represent their club so we hope to change that position through building a better connection to past Saints' players and subsequently, playing a more active role in the development of their boys."

An initial meeting was held at Linen House Centre last month to gather all relevant families together to outline the program and receive a guided tour of the club’s facilities at Linen House Centre in Seaford.

Past players Stewart Loewe, Andrew Thompson, Justin Peckett, Dean Rice, Jayson Daniels, David Grant, Steven Sziller, Tony Brown, Max Hudghton and Brett Voss as well as modern-day Saints Justin Koschitzke and Stephen Milne were on hand with their families to hear about the new program that will be closely monitored by St Kilda’s recruiting and development staff.

The sons of former players Frank Coghlan and Robert Harvey will also be in the program.

The ages of the potential father-sons range from 16 months to 16 years, but all who attended were warmly embraced as part of the St Kilda family.

Some of them were playing for Chelsea last season.

[bigred]

That is just three bags full awesome.

Absolutely brilliant.

Dave Grant was there.... He was such a good player.

Can't we just pay lauren jackson a few million for artificial insemination from tony lockett or rob harvey - cross fingers and hope for boy triplets.
We need to be proactive!

Lauren is single I think. Send Kosi up! She is up from the Murray! Perfect match!

[saintly]

I saw steven sziller, Peckett, loewe, hudgeton, lots of sons nowadays!!! hope some get tthrough
