Future Father/Sons

Re: Future Father/Sons

Yes. At least Jayden is a chance at the next level, I don't feel Jack is at all. Jayden certainly has more tricks.

Like what? I'm serious as I haven't seen him play.

I don't want to pot Jack, so I will focus on the Jayden side of things. Size will be similar at equal points in development. Hands are pretty good. Agility is very good. Goal kicking accuracy is as good as even better, Jayden is very accurate. The knocks on Jayden are not completely dissimilar to Jack, but he has some advantages. I'm convinced Jack isn't to standard as a personal view. There are some serious questions on Jayden make no mistake, but in my estimation his betters are better, and his weaknesses aren't as stark.

No rookie list for Foster then.

He could still be rookie listed if no other club bids for him.

It doesn't mean we're guaranteed to take both or even one of them. It'll depend on what happens in the bidding process.

Succinct BAD: a strong indication that another 2-3 to be delisted still. Plus 3 rookies not promoted to date will all be delisted.

That's the main part of Jacks game I really like, his accuracy in front of goal, along with his size and aggression which he showed quite a bit in the GF, those three points remind me of Barry Hall, it's unfortunately the rest of his game that lacks unfortunately, but I'd be happy enough to give him a year or two on the main list to find out if he could get his game to another level.

Wasn't sure how it works, I thought we have officially taken them, but I see its only a nomination at this stage.

Re: Future Father/Sons

I would see promoting Jack a real step in the wrong direction for us. A young kid taken with pick 90 at least has some chance of making it as a player, see Lake and Grant as examples, but Jack will never get to the level required IMO. He is above average as a VFL player but that does not maketh an AFL player.

I personally, like others here think we need to cut deep and put some extra faith in our recruiting staff by giving them as many live picks as possible. If we bottom out so be it, Hawthorn bottomed out and ended up with Hodge, Mitchell, Rough and Buddy.

We are pretty much bottom the last time I looked.

True. But I am of a very strong opinion next year will be worse then this year!
