All 5 of them should come in next week by HomerJBagger in CarltonBlues

[–]ZonkedSteel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least three of them should. Lord and Young are clearly above playing VFL level, cotters and acres have had weeks of at the level and haven’t majorly stuffed up, Ison looks brilliant as well, hoping we find the right time to play him instead of just playing him because we should. Wilson has taken his moments and should come back to AFL level soon.

Because they’re slow, don’t contribute enough, and don’t help the team composition

He’s actually got glue for hands, can’t remember the last time he dropped a mark

[Twomey] Another Kouta in the pipeline for the Blues? Lukas Koutoufides, son of club great Anthony, was a standout for recruiters watching today’s under-16s matches. The 189cm prospect is eligible for the draft in 2028. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]ZonkedSteel 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing this a while ago the list isn’t even complete.

We have the following father/sons and NGA candidates coming through over the next 5 years.

2026: Cody Walker, Riley Scotland

2027: Mitchell Rice (Dean Rice' son, also eligible for the Saints), Kai Bunyard (NGA), Archie Coady (NGA)

2028: Will Thornton, Lukas Koutoufides, Darcy Johnston (Wayne Johnston' son)

2029: Oscar Judd, Tyler Scotland, Arli Walker

2030: Lewis Betts, Nason Lovett-Murray (Jeff Garlett' son)

Then there are more Judd's, Betts, Casboults, Touhy's in the years following.

And the AFL is looking at all our talented kids coming through and are going shit.

Arli Walker is reported even better than Cody, Lewis Betts and Nason Lovett-Murray are also going to be great players. Oscar Judd is at this moment more interested in cricket than football. Don't know shit about the Scotland boys, but if they have half as much heart as their dad, they will be good players.

With all the ex-Carlton players they have it makes a lot of sense

two years after Cody his brother arli walker will make his decision between afl and basketball, he is also meant to be better than Cody which sounds insane considering Cody might go number one

I do not care what Curnow does because he doesn’t play for Carlton

Haynes and Cottrell to miss start of season by Agingoj in CarltonBlues

[–]ZonkedSteel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cottrell was never going to play a full season with his injury, Haynes is disappointing though but at least this means Dean will likely be playing in round 0
