Re: Dogs keeping a keen eye on young pups

I think it's just how it works that the team with the pick immediately before the to-be father-son pick makes a bid. It's not necessarily an indication of where he would have gone. If I recall, he was talked up as a top-5 pick.

To reinforce the point, Sydney bid for Libber with the pick immediately before our second rounder. That doesn't mean Libber wouldn't have definitely been a first rounder, they and every other club just knew that we'd be taking him no matter what.

Will be interesting when clubs start passing on guys and clubs get stung both ways, will happen soon.

I don't think teams bid on players they don't want.

Agreed, i don't think you'd run the risk of trying to make a club overpay for a FS out of spite, only for the club to then call your bluff and you're stuck.

A quick interview and some footage of Zaine Cordy.

Aza, if you keep the man love for Zaine going at this rate I might have to consider you for promotion, Twodogs should be all over this. I'm not sure if Westdog 54 formally took the secretary position as well.

He certainly has the vernacular down pat!: "Yeah, nah."
I can see him alongside Roberts, Roughie and Talia in years to come. I just hope we can get him at some value.

I think Paige and Callum are putting out false impressions in a good way. At TAC level he's a KPP, but not at the next unless he gets a growth spurt he's a utility and in my mind he's coming in to get the spot Wood has and for which Young covets. I'm quite the fan, quiet obviously, but our members ought not to think he's replacing Morris or a CHB.

Definitely not holding out for a Morris. Half back flanker who can play tall if needed, good at ground level with good foot skills - that's what I'm after... If I'm looking at someone to be the new Morris, I'm pipe dreaming about Jayden Foster.

If he's got anything like his old man's frame and work ethic, he'll do me!

For me, if anyone says name one thing you like about Zaine, I'd say his disposal. Obviously speed, time and pressure at the next level tests everyone, but I'm hopeful. As for Jayden, he has some tricks and is kicking multiple goals every game. I'm pipe dreaming with you, Calder should go deep into finals so he has some time to demand our attention.

I know we're only going on highlights,but he looks a very good reader of the play.
Looks good one on one as well, and as a second or third tall.

Jayden Foster kicked 4 against the Rams @ the weekend.

He kicked 5 the match before this weekend's bag of 4. I'm looking forward to watching him once or twice again during the last half of the season. Maybe he makes it or maybe he doesn't, but its fun to think about even more father sons, especially a big full forward one. I so hate Essendon getting Daniher!!

He has to be a lock for at least a guaranteed rookie spot under FS at this stage.

Does FS nomination extend to the rookie draft?

Yep. If no one bids on him in the F/S process at year's end, I think Will Langford at Hawthorn was one such example.

If I'm to believe Twodogs Fosters genes are starting to ripen a little later. Watch this space I guess??
