    Father-Son Possibilities

    Where are our future father-son picks? I think you have to play 100 games now. Does Roosy's coaching stint add to his 90 plus games. He has boys - they were in every grand final photo! Plugger only has girls. Gerard Healy only has girls. Kels is a chance he has boys. Dunks is a chance, he has boys. Chambers has a .... don't worry about it!

      In answer to your question, Roos's stint as coach does count towards the father & son rule, although I don't know how much.

      There is also talk of dropping the games needed back to 50 and then having a panel assess the player to see if the F&S pick used should be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd rounder etc.

        When it was 50 games to qualify, Luke Ball's was drafted and his old man (Ray ball) played in the high 40 games for the swans. (47 I think.) Would have been handy if they'd had the enormous forsight to have sat him on the bench for 3 more games. Marc Murphy's old man John played a couple of seasons for South but below the qualifying amount. (Marc turned down Brisbane so I guess he would have stayed in Vic even if he was eligible for us)

        Has Luffy got kids?

                I used to claim him as my dad, but sadly the family resemblence was slight at best

                  I know Plugger has daughters, but if he had sons they still wouldn't be eligible for F/S is that correct? IIRC he only managed 98 games for us in the R/W.

                      I think Plugger's girl's would be worth considering.

                        Im assuming Diesel played 100 for your guys so his son Jye would be available given Carlton dont seem to be showing too much interest in him with Wayne Johnsons son and Kenny Sheldons (very strong possibility) available this year as well.

                          Would you give them a game before Chambers?

                            Not sure, but I'd like to see a "Sydney Swans - Where are they now?" show!

                              I'd give his greyhounds a game before Chambers at this point in time.
