Future Father/Sons

Re: Future Father/Sons

That's spot on, now that I think of it. He did get a rod and it ended up a cock up!

Yeah he went back against doctors orders and I distinctly remember him telling my brother that he conned the club back onto the field. Obviously he wasn't ready but that's how committed he was. If his son has a small amount of the drive that Foz did he'll be ok.

Re: Future Father/Sons

From all accounts his dad is a top bloke, so I imagine he would bring his son up with a good head on his shoulders.
Last I heard was Peter runs a successful cleaning business in the western suburbs.

When he played I'm pretty sure he was in sales/distribution of cleaning products. I lived in Castlemaine growing up and my Mum worked at a motel there. Foster would come there regularly. Not sure on the dates but I'm pretty sure it was when he played.

It's a small world, I lived in Castlemaine for a few years as well.

We've probably crossed paths there. I lived there from 85 through until 98

My parents had a house there that we spent most of our spare time and weekends at. I spent a lot of time growing up in Castlemaine.

Re: Future Father/Sons

Would like to hear a bit more about Foster, J.

Google search results claim he is 194cm & 87kg at 19yo.

Retained by Canons as an overage player in 2014, he kick 29 goals as FF for Calder Canons in their premiership year.

Eligible to be drafted last year but no-one took him.

Have not detected much interest in him in the lead up to this years national draft. Seems like we could F/S using only a very late pick.

Question is, why is he not rated more highly?

Bad foot injury last year, came back for finals and looked ok. Played this year as a goal square type FF, so kicks goals but that's not really an AFL spot. Talented kid, question marks though. I think he got a combine invite and maybe a few clubs sniffing. Would need to be a very low pick or rookie to end up at WB. I would gladly take him low and develop him at Footscray. I have more faith in Fossie Jnr than Redpath longer term.

I used to camp with my mate at a little place called Baringhup during high school with my mates,
What a cracker of a spot and so many great memories.

What do you base this on BT?

Re: Future Father/Sons

Probably something due to Redpath's lack of ability?

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

The house we had in Castlemaine was only a slight upgrade on camping. Tank water, no sewage, outside toilet, open fire, big bastard rats all in a miners' hut with a lean to leaning on the back. It was on a two acre block though at the end of Hunter st. Ten minute walk to the train stop.

According to Google Maps it's still the same.

Re: Future Father/Sons

I wonder how Oliver Liberatore is travelling heard some really good reports on him when he was very young, must be under 15s at least now I imagine.

Not quite that old, under 13's at a guess. I would guess he played interleague. Although. At a guess didn't poll much in the league BnFs last year or this. At a guess.
