Michael Romero
Height: 175cm, Weight: 70kg, DOB: 9/10/1998
Recruited From: Calder Cannons
Position: Small Forward
The son of Bulldogs great Jose, Michael Romero qualifies as a father/son this year, but still has a long way to go before being drafted. Whilst Romero has qualities like his father, the small forward is erratic, with a big gap separating his best and worst. Still developing as a footballer, Romero is quick, fleet-footed and can hit the scoreboard, but can overuse the ball and be a bit selfish at times. Romero showed glimpses of his prestige pedigree last year, averaging 12 disposals, while also showing some great defensive pressure at times for the Cannons. He’ll need to lift his output this year, and would be hoping for a call up into the Vic Metro side. link
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

That bio of Michael actually sounds a fair bit like Jose as a younger player. Hopefully he matures as well.
No way he's 70kg, he could be the smallest, skinniest kid I've ever seen or heard of. I'm including the starving Ethiopian kids Jennifer Grey was talking about in Dirty Dancing. You could argue Darcy Mac was considerably ahead of where Mick is.

Declan Hamilton still listed on website as 68kgs
PS: Darcy has put on 6.6kgs of muscle.

Out of the two, I'd have taken Darcy fwiw. But happy enough to see how Mick goes, but I'm not putting money on him being at the club right now. Get onto Josh Kellett now I say as the next big thing in FSs.

12 possies per game is nothing to write home about.

I've heard that.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
Although I hope Ollie Liberatore his interleague buddy gets there too. Imagine two Libbas, plus a Kellett, a Wallis, a Cordy, a Hunter and maybe a Romero. Just need Dimma's boy to get the band back together. A MacPherson would've been ok if the list was different and young Fossie well, if he can't get some games at the joke of a list then he might be in trouble.

Beveridge's son is also going to be in the draft this year. Small utility that has some pace from what I have read.
Brendan McCartneys son Lockey was in last year's draft. Small utility set for country footy and a good young man from what I have read.

It was one of the track watchers at footy training.

Word spreading fast then. I do hope any or all of the four West boys make the grade. I loved Scotty West, I'd have to say his kids playing would probably be my favourite father-son combo and the bar is set pretty high.
