Future Father/Sons

Re: Future Father/Sons

I'd say Dustin Fletcher like arms longer than his body but people would either accuse me of placing too much pressure on him, or bring it up it years and accuse me of over selling him. His arms look a little too long for his body, in a good way.

Ah that's right, nickname is sort of taken...for the moment anyway. Still, a good recommendation.

Yep, it's what will allow him to pinch hit on taller forwards at the next level, he reads the play well. I don't understand some watchers thinking he's a KPP, it's an unrealistic expectation. I'm the one that sets unrealistic expectations, not others.

now that you point it out, how come I never noticed that before?

It was one of the reasons we selected him. His wingspan was greater than his height.

They could see him standing up in a tackle and still being able to get a handball out. Defensively it also helps him spoil and intercept.

Bonts is good but his wings are not real.

Does anyone have any news on Josh Wallis?

Has he given up on top level football?

I posted much earlier in this thread that he only played 4 games with Calder this season, not sure what the story is?

Either the club has hid him most outstandingly, of he hasn't made progress this year.

Or hasn't impressed, nor taken school footy form into TAC, nor been mentioned by any draft watchers or included by and journos in father son articles because I'd bet the house he's not being looked at. Kennedy is also a father son, don't think he's getting drafted either.

Saw in the St.Kevins Old Boys Newletter (Omnia) during the week that Josh won the B&F at St.Kevins this year. Not sure if he is in Year 11 or 12 though.

He's been around rep squads all juniors and clearly above school footy. Either there is a massive con on the footy world and footy media, or Josh isn't at this stage where he needs to be. Granted, Calder were very, very strong this year, but there was nothing special about his Calder footy.

Re: Future Father/Sons

His brother mentioned a year or so ago , he wasn't sure if josh was fully committed and would have to
Make up his mind soon, so maybe he just hasn't got the drive to play at an elite level.
