Well, if you go back to the start of it all Barassi Junior was a Demon owing to a direct appeal to the VFL. Under the Zone he was Carlton's to pass up on. More recently this is a rare occuance but there is nothing to stop it happening. What grievance could, say, Geelong have to such an appeal? It does not affect their chances of recruiting the player and any precedent set would rarely be enacted given most coaches are of the age whereby their children are already in or past the system. If either of Roos' kids was a serious option I can't imagine why the Swans wouldn't explore every option available to them, and this is one. As others have mentioned the Acadamy is another.

Is there not a clause on games coached in the F/S rule? You would reckon 200 games coached would be a fair qualification. I thought the spirit of the rule was the service that a father gave a club over an extended period.
Please tell me we are guaranteed to get him! Another BOG for the AIS Academy! The quality polished mid we are after especially when Kirky and Jude will be finishing up by then!
Saw that. Well if we start the nagging now, we should get somewhere. Hope Stuey is on the case.

Another win for AIS-AFL Academy - AFL.com.au
Australia too strong for SA's Lions - AFL.com.au
I think he was one if the AIS's best players against us a coupe of weeks ago as well. Just keeps racking up the BOG's playing with the most talented 17 year olds in the draft.
If he keeps if up he might completely save our 2011 draft just imagine if we can get a player worth a top 5 pick for a pick in the 30's what a score that would be.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
exactly with GWS coming in that draft, if they have the same concessions as gold coast and if we finish in the top 8 our first round pick would be somewhere between 18 and 25. 30's was a slight exageration because i didnt look it up before i posted.
The point remains that we may get a bargain in one of the comprimised drafts. Even if we get a top 5 prospect with a pick in the 20's its a huge win for us at a time when the other clubs will be suffering because of the comprimised draft.
