Father Son Watch (2017 onwards)

So, that would be the year the AwFL returns Jobe’s Brownlow and apologizes for stitching us up to cover for all the Premiership-winning teams that were taking PEDs.

Koby Bewick best on ground today in Strathmore under 14s thumping of Keilor.
Kicked goals, and brought others into the game whenever he touched the ball.

Ed what’s his height relative to other kids at this age? Or relative to his Dad?

This is interesting Ant.
Was Will Phillips physically very mature at age 14/15? What made him stand out?
When I was in Year 7 there was a kid who was fully pubescent , shaving, dating girls, etc, who was way stronger than the other kids and one of the tallest, but by the time we got to Year 12 he was average size and ended up relatively short (5’8ish)

Seems about the height of his old man atm and isn’t the tallest but certainly a taller mid for his age group, if I was to guess a potential end height I’d say between 184-186cm but I’m certainly no expert on that.

They don’t need to change the rules, its not cons ription. He can opt out.

I reckon Tulla would get burned down if he opted out. He is about as much our last hope as Obi-wan-Kanobe was in that movie.

I remember the same being said about Daniher.

The thing about football - as long as there’s a next season, there’s always a next great hope.

we are getting VERY short on champions who have sons.There are no champions in this generation.

And we are even shorter on sons who are guns. I don’t recall any other son who has been as pumped up as much as SOB.

Really. I’m sure the Davey twins were our saviours for about 4 years according to blitz.

Read my post. As good as he was - especially as our best CHF of those years - in no way was Alwyn a Champion of Essendon. Nor would any other player since him.

Bewick was a very good player but he was not a champion. So perhaps instead of me re-reading your post you should re-write it.
