When nearly everyone in the town is at most two degrees of separation from someone at the club, and the "if I wasn't from Geelong I'd probably hate footy" types get into it for the togetherness (call it tribalism), of course bloodlines are important. Remember, the western districts are just down the road, and breeding stock to order is a long tradition. BTW: The traditional story goes that worforce productivity is 10% higher on a Monday after a cats win than after a loss. I wonder if anywhere else in the country gets so worked up.

Peake senior did play 6 times more games for the Sharks, and won 6 B&F awards. This at a time when the difference between the comps was nothing like it is now. At any rate, to edge back on-topic for a moment, if "doing your time" as an assistant is such a necessary apprenticeship, what explains Damian Drum?

If you have two, you need to use you second and your third round pick. In 1997 GFC picked up Marc Woolnough in the second round on a father-son pick. These rules have changed for 2007. GFC have made many father-son picks since 1997. As I understand it, if you have one father-son prospect, you need to use your third round pick.

I'm guessing here that Geelong had already traded their 2nd round pick before they decided they wanted Scarlett?
