That Parker kid has some decent bloodlines, connected to 3 former footballers including our own Geoff Parker.

Dodoro will love him

TAC lists won’t be named for a few weeks yet.

Hopefully got more toe.

Geoff was a better cricketer than footballer. Played for the Vics and Redbacks.

Was there a glimpse of Damian Peverill in that clip? And young Bewick looks like he knows what he’s doing. Great to see Heath Hocking too; seems like a really decent human being.

Between the VFL and the academy, Heath is giving a lot “back” to the club.

It’s not surprising Bewick’s son is decent. His Dad is a hell of a development coach

It may have been clarified before, is the Hird Academy setup unique amongst the AFL clubs?

He’s backy?!?

Benfti - Kysiah Pickett - links to Byron, Trent Burgoyne - Peters Boy
do you rate these guys would it be worth a sneaky bid from Dodoro?

Port/Norf have no rights to Byron’s nephew, who happens to live with him. Kysiah should be drafted around our 2nd rounders, I want to add him to Walla and Mozzie but he is only 170cm so that might give some clubs reservations early on.

And what a superstar player he was.

Imagine Bewick and Walla and Orazio running rampant in the forward line.

People say Joshua’s not ready, but I think he’ll step up quickly if given the chance.

NGA certainly gets around

That flight squad section is seriously impressive.
