Re: Future Father/Sons

Who was Roger? Never heard of him.

Didn't play a lot of games. A brother of Neil & Brian.

Are you sure he played any senior games? He's not listed on AFL Tables as far as I can see (or did he play for another team?). Graeme only played 6 games for us and I can remember him.

Don't believe Roger played any games at AFL level

Sorry thinking of Graeme.

You are right I was thinking of Graeme.

Re: Future Father/Sons

Perhaps credit goes to the Club's brains trust for the slide through to pick 61. I wonder if they played a good poker hand and left other clubs pondering whether a bluff bid at 20 or 30 would be called?

Re: Future Father/Sons

I kind of think we've slowly been conditioned to read it that way, as the Club has built expectation, or at least not hosed it down, that we'd need to pay a second round selection. I'm not sure he'd ever have been considered a top 25 pick.

I think he is a good enough player and around pick 30 to 40 was about his mark. At pick 61 I would regard him as a bargain.

We need to be charged with robbery, daylight robbery. Ludicrous result.

Some night games I think. I'll check my copy of Unleashed. Graeme ended up playing a few games at Sydney. Maybe Roger played up there because I can remember my mum asking about him because he was on TV.

Roger not listed on Footywire, Neil and Graeme are.

Not quite the genes to rival the Danihers though.

True. Nor the Selwoods. Imagine all of them in one team. In the old days Carlton would have got the lot. For nothing. Thank God for the draft.

Re: Future Father/Sons

Listening to the Dalrymple interview sounds like we're still keen to get Foster.

It appears that way. It is all dependent on list space. Surprisingly they are still deciding what to do rookie wise.

So keen we wouldn't use pick ~90........


I suspect the club doesn't rate him and is just being nice.

List spots are a premium. Come draft day a player we rate may be available at our pick, but instead that pick is allocated to Foster.
