Class of 2016:AFL Bloodlines

[robevpau1]

Seems a couple of well-known surnames draft-eligible in 2016.

Joshua Daicos
Height: Weight: DOB:
Recruited From: Oakleigh Chargers
Position: Medium Forward
It’ll be Magpie mayhem should the son of one of Collingwood’s most loved and decorated players be seen good enough to follow in the footsteps of his father, Peter. Josh Daicos reportedly opted to by-pass TAC Cup Footy last year in favour to concentrate on his School and Local team, with the added bonus of enjoying contact hours at Collingwood as part of the father/son Academy – appropriately named after his dad. However this year he returns to TAC Cup footy after training throughout the preseason with the Chargers. The classy forward possesses an elite kick off both sides, sure hands and a dead-eye for goal just like his father. Whilst his frame is light, he’s got the same nous and spatial awareness of his dad in the training sessions I’ve gotten along to. The sharp-shooter was named in the YJFC Team of the Year in 2015 on the forward flank, and is credited with lifting his AGS school side, Camberwell Grammar to victory single handily a number of times last year.

Callum Brown
Height: 172cm, Weight: 62kg, DOB: 27/4/1998
Recruited From: Eastern Ranges
Position: Small Forward/Midfielder
A famous name at Collingwood, Callum Brown is the son of former Premiership Magpie and captain, Gavin Brown. Callum however, is a different player to his dad. The small, bottom-age speedster started off as the 23rd man last year with a 10-tackle debut that ensured he’d earned a spot the following week. It wasn’t long before Brown had cemented his spot in the Ranges starting 18, and a 17-disposal, three goal effort saw him named one of the Ranges’ best in the TAC Cup preliminary final. Like his dad, he’s hard at it, fiesty, and plays with his heart on his sleeve. A bit of a barometer type, whose always busy in the forward 50, and not a bad mark overhead for his size either.

Yes Please. Talk about royal bloodlines. Do not come any better than this.

Jeebus I hope we get both these kids. Brown and Daicos back in the Collingwood forward line. I don't care if they need work to get there, we can afford to take time and bring them on.

Brown's boy is a midget, how tall is Peter's boy?

Happy that they appear to be flying under the radar at the moment. Still might get them for a late pick or rookie pick.

It's going to be tough to get both, or even one of them if they are any good. Given that we have already traded away an early draft pick from this years draft.

[stui magpie]

You don't need an early pick anymore, just lots of later ones

Knocked out half hour into 1990 GF and came back like a steam train in full
throttle.

In all my 60 years watching Collingwood it be the gutsiest thing I,ve seen

Some of us were somewhat surprised that we didn't draft a small forward this draft period so perhaps we were already looking ahead 12 months with Brown.

It would be good if he can grow a couple more inches this year.

It will be interesting to follow the fortunès of both boys this season.
