    Adopted Father/Sons?

    Noticing Adam Cooney has an "adopted" daughter and also that Brian Lake was adopted made me wonder how the rules work there? Could we scour orphanages for talent. FORCE one of our 100 game players to legally adopt them. If the kid's 15 it's only for a couple of years. And them take them under the father son rule? huh? huh?

    A kind soul like Chris Grant could just have a turnstile going adopting wayward talent every year.

    We should also be force feeding Viagra into Griffen, Gilbee, etc. And even Hawk and Templeton could still produce if we can some how bring on a mid life crisis, and some younger ladies "happen" to come in to their lives. Huh? Huh?

    We could also DNA test every kid in the western suburbs. You never know how many little Hawkins' there might be!

            Well he was a very handsome man. Come to think of it Danny Del Re was a bit of a looker as well.......... any chance of a few little Del Re's slipping under the radar?

              Del Re had a mug like a hit man
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                ...and his reputation might just be a little understated...

                  Seriously though.............. are there specific father/ son rules for adopted kids?

                      Just look for all the 14-15 year old kids with massive schnozzers, half will be his, surely!

                            Slightly different point of view... How old can you be to be adopted.

                            Can Smorgo go out and 'adopt' some new kids (Like being a Visy Board rep...) who just happen to be gun under 18's?
