Re: Father/Son Watch
My grandfather was a sniper in the first world war. He didn't talk about it much but he once told me a story where he was in France behind enemy lines. He sat up a tree for three days just waiting for a certain German officer. The guy walked past, grandad puts a bullet in him and got the hell out of Dodge.

Re: Father/Son Watch
Star Weekly News:
Western Jets have displayed their best and their worst in a wildly contrasting opening two rounds in the NAB League.
First-year Jets coach Ryan O’Keefe could not have been prouder of his players after the fight they showed to come back from 19 points down at three-quarter time to beat the Northern Knights in the season opener.
That hunger disappeared on Sunday as they succumbed to Eastern Ranges by 63 points in a lifeless showing at Trevor Barker Beach Oval.
O’Keefe could tell from early on that his side was not up for the contest as it was the week before.
The Jets trailed by a massive 49 points before Zen Christofi finally got their first goal.
“We just didn’t turn up to play – it’s as simple as that,” O’Keefe said. “Eastern came out and played a much better brand of footy. It came down to effort really.”
O’Keefe played 286 games at the highest level with the Sydney Swans and represented Victoria in state of origin and Australia in international rules.
One of his trademarks was consistency from week to week – and that’s something he is trying to drill into his players.
“You’ve got to be able to be consistent because as soon as you drop your effort levels, no matter who you’re playing against, you’re going to get found out,” he said.
Western Jets will come face to face with arch-rivals Calder Cannons at Rams Arena on Saturday. O’Keefe downplayed any suggestion the Jets may have a little extra fight because they are coming up against their main foe.
“After what we dished up this week, hopefully the players want to improve and get better regardless of who we’re playing this week,” he said.
There is one player who has been a mark of consistency for the Western Jets in the opening two weeks and across pre-season.
Joshua Kellett, a potential Western Bulldogs father-son, has been outstanding across half-back.
Darcy Cassar found some form in defence, while Christofi and Kyle Borg were dangerous in attack.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Father/Son Watch
The weekly from the week before also pumping Kellett up. Nice photo by the local journo of Kellett look-away handballing while changing direction:

Re: Father/Son Watch
Weird. Oliver Lib is jumper number 15. But that jumper number doesn't appear on their list of players in the 2019 squad.

Re: Father/Son Watch
From what I can gather some clubs would rather the father /son plays school footy than under 18s, maybe hides them from being seen and chosen at a higher pick, not really sure but some play more school than under 18s.Bring back the biffComment

Re: Father/Son Watch
Ewan MacPherson, a bottom ager, named BEST for Northern Knights in their 5 point win on the weekend.
So that's Mac & Kellett who have logged in 'bests' this year. Good signs.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment
