Re: Ayce Cordy
There were no school footy commitments 2-weeks ago either, so I am not sure what happened then.
There should be only 3-games of school footy left. Ayce should get the opportunity to play a month or so of TAC footy if he wants too (and is good enough to get picked).What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: Ayce Cordy
I was told on Wednesday that Ayce can play but has been selected in the national U19 basketball side and is a very real chance to elect to play basketball over footy.
Has grown to 202cm and doesn't look like stopping any time soon. He hasn't even turned 17 yet.
Talk about what might have been with the F/S. We just missed Reid, then Rance and maybe Cordy. And all of them big!Comment

I hope he has talent and wants to play footy. For us that is.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Falcons unveil Ayce in pack
LANKY ruck Ayce Cordy shone in his debut game for Geelong in the Falcons' 27-point TAC Cup win against the Eastern Ranges at Geelong West yesterday.
Cordy, son of former Footscray defender Brian (124 games for the Bulldogs), kicked three of his team's 11 goals in the Round 12 clash after starting on the bench.
"We didn't want to knock him around too much. I think he's 205cm, about six foot seven. But he's only 17 and he's a beanpole, no meat on his bones," Falcons region manager Michael Turner said.
"He just basically played forward pocket with a licence to roam where he wanted to.
"He started on the bench but when he came on the ground he made a big impact. He's going to be a good player."
Turner said the Western Bulldogs had taken an interest in Cordy, who is too young for this year's national draft.
"I have been in the program a long time and if ever a kid was going to get drafted, it will be him. But it will have to be next year," Turner said.
"The difficult one for the Bulldogs -- and the great advantage Geelong has had -- is having an automatic pick to get them (as a father-son selection). But now it is a bidding process.
"So, depending on how well he develops, clubs are going to bid for him.
"He is too young this year but he will certainly be in the mix next year.
"He is just very competitive, he's got a great attitude, he is very footy smart. You can just tell the way he does things.
"At the start of the year he had a bit of a hip problem. He has just grown so quickly and you have to really careful you don't knock these kids around.
"We were happy to take him steadily early in the year and watch his progress at Geelong College.
"I saw him play (there) a couple of weeks ago and he was outstanding.
"We gave his first game and now he'll go back to college for his next three and then no doubt we'll play him for the rest of the year."Bulldog Pride will never die
