State Champs or Footy

"He played a season or two from memory for Port Magpies before trekking to Carlton with Kernahan, Motley and Naley in 1985"

Started with Magpies in 1981, left in 1986 after 98 games with the Magpies. Played 375 games for Carlton, and 4 Sheffield Shield games (2 for SA, 2 for Vic).

501 senior AFL games, 4 Sheffield Shield games.

He made the choice to concentrate on footy, sure, but most people naturally gifted in sport can find a way to play both until that choice needs to be ultimately made..I say let them play whatever until it is not possible to do more than one... 14/15 year olds need to be able to see what sport is really their calling in life.

What if these kids that are playing both sports then concentrate solely on basketball, and miss that call up to a cricket/footy team that could make their career? Should this happen just because another parent calls for a one sport rule?

Seems a bit selfish really. Get out their kids, play as many different sports as possible.
