Mick Mcguane on the father son rules.
Herald Sun
While I love the romance around father-son selections, it is too heavily biased towards the Victorian clubs.
For too long, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle have been subjected to different rules.
If your father played 100 VFL/AFL club, you can nominate as a father-son.
In Western Australia, the marker is 150 WAFL appearances and in South Australia it is 200 SANFL matches.
Plus, how do we expect Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney to produce father-son picks given they only entered the competition in 2011 and 2012 respectively?
Collingwood has benefited greatly from securing Darcy Moore and Josh and Nick Daicos as father-son selections, but it is a clear example of how unequal the system is.
In recent times, the Swans have secured Isaac Heeney, Callum Mills, Nick Blakey (father-son), Errol Gulden and Braden Campbell — all of whom were highly rated by rival clubs who could not get a look in.
Similarly, Brisbane was gifted bookend players Harris Andrews and Eric Hipwood in back-to-back drafts in 2015 and 2016 due to their Academy alignment, allowing them to concentrate on bringing in talented midfielders with their other high draft picks.
How is that fair to the other clubs?

Even when I was hurling foul-mouthed abuse over the fence at him, Ii knew Mickey was one of the good ones.

I'm not clear on what this is. His mate Mark Allen (is this guy connected to AFL?) messaged him talking about past conquests? Is there something more to it?This is the first I've seen of this.

Yeah it's nothing other than he has a mate that sounds like a pig. Someone hoping to get a Tom Morris situation going by the sounds of it.
It's a terrible precedent. Private messages are private. If having sex with people in toilets is your thing - go for it. I don't need to know and Mark Allen was not messaging me anyway.

Ralph screen capped one of his segments on fox and tweeted it out, but at the end as he closed Kayo, you could see that message

It's nice to see his name come up and not in some trash bashing him again.
Hopefully he can keep himself clean from now on. Wishing nothing but successes from here on out.
8. The Eagles got a mid-season steal in Jai Culley
In just two games at the highest level, Jai Culley has established himself as a key part of West Coast's future and a potential fan favourite. The first player picked at the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, Culley backed up his excellent debut with another impressive midfield performance against St Kilda, stepping up as senior teammates were shut down. He is more than just the tough, hard-working onballer he appeared on debut, too, showing class against the Saints with 19 disposals, a late crowd-pleasing goal, and the decision-making of an experienced player. At the start of a rebuild, he is just the steal you want as a club to pair with your high draft selections. Add prized draftee Campbell Chesser to the mix after an injury-ruined 2022 and the midfield will have a different look about it next season. - Nathan Schmook
Good to see them hold back a bit. I thought it was the greatest thing that has ever happened. EVER!!

Throw in the addition of the GWS/GC feeder clubs add to this in destabilising the balance between Vic/Non-Vic clubs.
Due to the number of clubs there's always going to be a Victorian cellar dweller which can invoke the threat of the PSD to secure lower-currency trades from GWS/GC while stacking their team with high-end draft picks.
AFL has done a great job of protecting against the threat of strong WA/SA teams dominating the top four and potentially making the GF a non-Vic event.
Nah, round 1 2023 centre square combo: NN, Shuey, Redden, Gaff.
