I Am Over The Moon

[JAJH]

Woohoo, just been listening to the National AFL Draft..my son got selected at no. 37 for Collingwood. You reckon I ain't a proud Dad.

Hey CONGRATS!!!! i bet all the hard work everyone put in, seems worth it now...just a small gripe from a bombers fan....shame he had to go to Collingwood...hehe

[Dark Horse]

That's fantastic, you should be proud.

[Mondie]

Mate, you must be so proud. Watching your kids grow up into this ever more crazy world can be scary sometimes. You just have to equip them with the skills and attitudes to be succesful and come out at the other end in one piece.

l can imagine how pleased you must be feeling for your son right now :

[Josh_XC]

congrates man, yeh i reckon u would be a proud dad.

[rodderz]

Well done mate...he's going to the right team too!

[LUXO_8]

[JC]

He may have been better off waiting and being picked up by someone else, but congrats anyway.

Yeah, pity it wasn't the Hawks John, but could have been worse places than Collingwood. He gets to stay in Melbourne and is 20 minutes from training. We have all been on a high all day, he got lunch with the coach and recruiting staff and a personal call from Eddie Mcguire himself. It was a complete shock for all of us, we didn't expect him to get selected so early. Thanks all for your comments and well wishes.

[Kingsley]

Congratulations!!! That's good news. I hope it's a success for him. Well done.

[Matty_XR6]

Well done mate good stuff.. .althou..... wrong team :(

[Charliewool]

Sounds like a top pick too! (Just the type my bullies could do with)

"Anthony is a key back, “with a lot of Jimmy Clement about him,” according to Hine. “Who uses the ball really well and has enormous speed for someone who is 191cm.”

[Psycho Chicken]

Jeeez he's got a hard life. I would have issues picking between keeping my career on track or giving Eddie one in the mouth.

Seriously though, congrats!

Thanks Charliewool, nice to see you do your homework. LOL!

[Charliewool]

Sorry JAJH... I forgot to add.. Congratulations! You must be SO proud! And for your son's endeavor & hardwork to pay off is a real tribute to him.. For every one that gets the chance, there are literally thousands that don't!.. well done mate.

Hi Mark, he had been spoken to by Melbourne, Port Adelaide & Collingwood, so we didn't know whether he would get picked at all let alone a Melbourne club. We honestly thought he would spend another year at TAC cup level and maybe, just maybe an outside wild card at pick 60-70, but to be picked 37 was completely out of the blue and above all expectations. My head's still spinning, I have had about 2 hours sleep and I still can't get over it, my baby boy's an AFL player! Woohoo.
BTW, He has always been a mad Hawk supporter like me, but should I say it, I might have to become a member of the Pies now.

[tbearz]

nice bloody fantastic stuff.....hope he does well yet with the way pies are going he might be playing in the big stuff sooner rather than later.

p.s. feel sorry for the lad....he will have to talk to eddie maguire :|

[CAMS290]

Congratulations John, he will be driving a new Lexus in no time now.

[phoon]

Fantastic news mate, shame it wasnt the Hawks, but being drafted to any AFL team is an honour in itself.

[HOON69]

congrats
