Re: Future Father/Sons
Interesting questions BAD. Both have had fine years and Foster has surprised me by I think winning the TAC goal kicking...although I am not 100% but read something about it recently.Comment

Re: Future Father/Sons
Foster is talked down a bit by some due to the fact that he's an overaged player in that comp... However, let's put that into perspective, he's 7 weeks over age... That's nothing.
In racing terms, we have as good an understanding of this colt's bloodlines as anyone in the world. His father was a late bloomer and his father was also a star. (Robbed of two more years by a disgraceful Paul Dear foot trip/kick which broke his leg... But that's another discussion..)
We're in a position where the son of a former champion of the club is the dominant goal kicker of the TAC Cup, is a 6ft 4 and a half inch power forward and is available to us under Father/Son. It's a no-brainer. At the very least, he'll develop into a handy KP backman who can handle opposition monsters. We have to take Foster. If the kid was aligned to Collingwood or something, we'd be looking on in envy. Grab him!
We also should take Cordy, btw. Hopefully one or the other with a late pick.Comment

Re: Future Father/Sons
You are correct about Foster, kicked 6 in the final round to take out the goal kicking. He also kicked another 6 in the qualifying final on the weekend.

Re: Future Father/Sons
In the last H&A game, Peter Wright kicked 4 alongside Fossie. You know, we are half a chance to get Wright with pick 5/6 and Fossie under F/S. Suddenly you've then got two quality young KPF's to watch develop through the Footscray VFL side and the WB side over the next couple of years as the senior midfielders continue to come of age.You are correct about Foster, kicked 6 in the final round to take out the goal kicking.

If we don't get Wright, we could go for Durdin. Same net result. Then we have two more years of development and a genuinely well structured young list taking shape. The last thing I want to see is panic whereby we start getting over priced mid 20's speculative duds..Comment
