    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      I think we should start setting up dances and social nights with all our National female sides, Basketball and Netball in particular.

        Maybe if it was 1950! Some computer guru needs to engineer some athletically beneficial Tinder matches for us.

          Actually, it's much better if they DON'T marry, just let them loose. Or convince them post career to become Mormons and move to Utah. If you get my drift

            I feel like this thread is about to head into some dangerous territory (and there's a whiff of deja vu about that)

              Exciting to hear about Jose's boy. Particularly that he is pacy and athletic - and that they are building the other (teachable) areas of his game up.

              One of our current recruiting team said to me at a VFL game a few years back that of the next breed of father/son's - Jose's boy was 'The One'.

                That's interesting because just a year ago the were track-watchers who were talking about Oliver Liberatore basically doing what Tom was doing at the same age
                Imagine two Liberatores in the same team!

                    The couple of times that I've seen Oliver Liberatore he's been impressive.

                        Wog Squad 2. This time they win flags.

                          Not a father son candidate but still the son of a gun



                          GLENELG’S Josh Koster has never had far to go to seek advice.

                          Josh, 18, is the son of Kym Koster, a dual AFL premiership player across 133 games at Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs.

                          Kym coached Josh to an under-12 premiership at PHOS Camden.

                          These days Kym watches all of his son’s games, including his three-goal league debut for Glenelg against South Adelaide at Noarlunga last month.

                          “He’s been a massive influence on my footy,” Josh says.

                          “He always gets in my ear with what I should be doing to make me better.

                          “He’d always talk about what he’d done and gave me the determination to try to do what he did.”

                          Josh, of Novar Gardens, played seven reserves games last season and spent most of the year with Sacred Heart College’s First XVIII.

                          He joined the Tigers’ senior squad over summer but did not expect to play in round one.

                          “The first game was a surprise and I didn’t think I’d go as well as I did.

                          “(Teammates) got around me after the game, which was pretty good.

                          “I was pretty pumped and got a Gatorade shower.”

                          Josh is making his name as a small forward, unlike his midfielder father.

                          “He was more of an inside player and I’m more outside.

                          “Apparently he was quick but I personally think I’m a bit quicker than him.”

                          Josh’s aim this year is to play every league game and to follow in his father’s footsteps by being drafted.

                          “It’d be pretty much a dream come true ... but we’ll see what happens.”

                            Presumably T&T has seen a bit of him.

                            I liked Koster as a player when I was growing up.
                            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                              Koster was a good player who was ready to take on a central role in our midfield

                              The Crows were gifted him and we received nothing in return right?

                              Not quite as bad as losing Tony McGuinness for nothing

                                I thought we got good compo for Koster?
