Reid was bloody awful . Great athlete, but terrible footballer

Bruce, Sam, Ben, you have to be more specific Rem.

True. Bruce Sr as well to be fair.

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

One of my Pies supporting mates has pointed out to me that young Kye Beveridge (son of Luke) will be pulling on the number 58 guernsey for Collingwood's VFL side this year.

Probably a good thing for the kid to find his way independent of the old man, but a shame the family allegiances will be somewhat split... Although I think the Beveridges go way back with Collingwood and Kye may have been a Pies fan growing up due to Luke's role at the club... whilst there's also grandad at the 'Aints..

Luke's grandad was a member of the Machine the 1927-20 Premiership team. Played in all four I think.

Yep, that's right. He had the premiership habit, Jack Beveridge. He left Pies to play in a premiership with West Perth, then left there to cap/coach a flag at Launceston. Seems flag winning is a family trait!

Don't know the back story with Luke's dad, John, ending up as St Kilda's head recruiter, but Luke grew up a Saints fan - presumably as a result of his dad's alignment. Then, with Luke moving to assistant coach at Collingwood, I think the old family ties were re-formed and Kye became a Pies fan.

He's in the mix for pick #1 isn't he? Looks a great size.

Yep!

BankSA Rookie Darcy Fogarty has shown glimpes of his unbridled talent in his first Macca’s League game for Glenelg in Round 4.



An early contender to be the first South Australian selected in this year’s AFL National Draft, Fogarty handled the pace of senior football with relative ease against Central District at Gliderol Stadium.

The 17-year-old – who measures in at 192cm and 88kg – finished with 19 disposals and three tackles while showing off his evasive skills in traffic throughout the Tigers’ five-point win.

Fogarty is one of 23 BankSA Rookies to make their debut in the Macca’s League this year, with 14 Croweaters appearing for the first time in Round 1.

You were supposed to hide him T&T and save him for us.
