Hey guys...
So I work w/ this 15yo kid (just turned 15)
He's a gun and plays rep footy... He came 4th at his club in the B&F this season... despite only playing 8 of a possible 15 or so games.
He has won the B&F for his club when he played a full season and is pretty talented. He made it into the GWS academy so obviously if he's good enough they'll look at him down the track...
I'm doing my best at work to talk him into being a total fantasy Gun and teaching him he has to handball the ball 10 metres and run onto it for total fantasy domination. I've told him I can be his agent and he should quit work/school to focus on his AFL career - which I'll make sure happens.
Is there anyway I can make sure he makes it to AFL? ;D
So yes, this is players & trades... I'm just a few years early... when he's the Michael Barlow of 2014/2015 I'll link to this thread ;)
...............
no pressure lol
I would never encourage anyone to quit school over sport... it's too much of a fluid job, with too many variables- he might not progress much further in skill than he already has, he could have a career ending injury before he even debuts at afl level.
Just my two cents on the matter :P
I mostly joke about telling him to drop out of school... but if he makes it to AFL it'd be sweet
He's a half back flanker apparently... can play midfield too...
- I'm going to influence him to become Dane Swan 2.0

Why the hell would this kid want you to help him if he is in the gws thing already, and you could not help him bahahaha. There is no way on earth you can say he is even gonna make it at 15. All you are going to be even if he does make it, is this creepy stalker bloke who tells everyone that he helped this guy get to where he was and hes gonna turn around n go who the hell are you. REDICULOUS NONSENSE.
umm.... Dunno how to answer this questions Nails ....

Calm down. Don't go off like the gun you claim to be ;)
Knowing Nails, he was just messing around.
I'd be willing to give you $200 bucks if it happens :D
It can be difficult to tell whether a 15 year old can play national footy :P
Son, this is your father. You've got homework to do, stop messing around on the internet and focus!
off topic but what is this cheer and boo crap?

Haha Nails, maybe why you got some Boos ;). Good to push him to do more and if he becomes a Fantasy Scorer, we'll thank you ;). But that won't likely be for another decade :P.
No idea fenno. I've just been dishing out cheers all night only to see I've been booed. Ouch.
