Bulldogs could benefit from sons of guns

THE WESTERN Bulldogs could come away from this year’s compromised draft with two highly-talented players that possess an uncanny sixth sense of where each other is on the field.

The father-son rule has left Calder Cannons and Vic Metro representatives Mitch Wallis and Thomas Liberatore - who have played alongside each other since under nines - available to the Dogs in the November 18 NAB AFL Draft. Mitch is the son of former Dogs captain Steve Wallis, while Liberatore's father is 1990 Brownlow Medallist Tony Liberatore.

With the Gold Coast Suns enjoying such a stranglehold on the draft, 2010 is the ideal year for the Dogs to have two highly-talented players available via the father-son rule, which changed in 2007.

“Whatever way you look at it, it’s a good year to be able to get two boys who are pretty even 16 or 17 picks apart,” AFL talent manager Kevin Sheehan said.

Should we introduce Jennifer to WOOF? She could have written this article a year ago if she was part of this site. :)
Looks like the articles are going to start to build on these 2.

Love your work Ledge - we are starting to get a higher profile though. Was at the Sons of the West Trainers function on Friday night, and the MC - David (Anderson I think) from 3AW (don't listen to the station so not sure if I've got his name right) actually mentioned the People's Beard on the internet when talking about what a great club we have. Didn't quite get it right i.e., WOOF, but we're out there! Got lots of questions about the scarf and the players I asked to sign it had a good laugh about the great bearded man and his "disciples" (Rob Murphy had a good chuckle). :D
