You just know he will fall short, say at 98 games

...but it would be 102 games if you count pre season and state of origin matches...

So we get to spend the next 30-odd years marinating in irony AND ruing the fact that we didn't do the Gibbs trade in 2016 after all. Excellent.

Who is eligible: The sons of Crows players with 100 or more games for the club are eligible as father-son selections. The Crows also have father-son rights over players with 200 or more games at SANFL clubs Norwood, Glenelg, Sturt and South Adelaide, provided those games were in a 20-year period between 1970 and 1990, before the Crows entered the AFL in 1991. A famous case involved No.1 overall draft pick Bryce Gibbs, who the Crows wanted as a father-son pick because his father Ross played 253 games for Glenelg. However, only 191 of those were between 1970 and 1990, meaning Gibbs was allowed to go into the draft and was picked up by Carlton.

On the horizon: Zac Hart could be the Crows' third father-son selection in as many years. Zac is the son of Crows assistant coach and AFL Hall of Famer Ben Hart, who played 311 games for the side, including their back-to-back premierships in 1997-98. Zac is a hard and tough defender who is playing with the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup. Another coming through is Luke Edwards, the middle son of another Crows champion in Tyson Edwards. Luke plays for Glenelg, has been involved in South Australia under-age representative teams and is eligible for the draft in 2019.

Watch list: Fraser McDermott (son of Chris), Tyler Welsh (Scott), Luke and Brodie Edwards (Tyson), Caleb and Joseph Tregenza (Simon) and Noah Smart (Nigel) are part of the Next Generation Father-Son Academy. Champion goal-sneak Eddie Betts needs to play just two more games for five-year-old Lewis and one-year-old Billy Betts to be eligible as father-son selections, but it could be a tug of war with Betts' former club, Carlton. There could be another Sloane running out for the Crows in about 18 years, with Rory Sloane and wife Belinda expecting their first child later this year. Sam Jacobs, Tom Lynch and Josh Jenkins are also expecting children.

Past father-son successes: Darren and Ben Jarman, Tyson and Jackson Edwards. Ben was a rookie-draft selection in 2016, while Jackson was also selected in the rookie draft last year. Both players are currently on the Crows' list. - Lee Gaskin

Also, this Board needs more Mark Viska discussion as a rule.

Remember that time he came back on injured at the SCG in '93, and played from the goalsquare. Tonne of courage.



Good thing we hadn't iced his hamstring... ;)

not sure why there are two threads? this thread- https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/father-son-eligible-kids-list.457812/ (thanks Vader) has a comprehensive list of when potential f/a will be eligible.

I wouldn't describe it as being "comprehensive", but it's the best I can do. It only includes the sons of fathers who have qualified under the AFL rule, not fathers who qualified under the SANFL rule. It's also possible that one or two AFL sons may have slipped through the cracks, though I think we've probably got that about right.

The biggest discrepancy is the draft years. Part of the problem is that the AFL changed the cut-off date in 2009, moving it from 31st March to 31st December. Anyone born in that Jan-March period, prior to 2009, is likely to have an incorrect date.

There should be more of this - playing on one leg in a forward pocket for half a match in the pre-ice era. In those days the opposing defender had the good manners not to run off an injured forward. They just don't make defenders like that any more

Disappointing that Lee Gaskin got his facts so badly wrong here.

The 1970-1990 limitation no longer applies. Any player who played 200+ games, for one of our aligned clubs, up to and including 1990 is eligible. The 1970 cut-off was removed when the AFL introduced the Grandfather Rule, following Adelaide's appeal against the Gibbs decision.

I got an email reply from AFC today - Luke is eligible for 2020 draft (not 2019).

Connor McLeod — son of Adelaide Crows great Andrew — is a late football bloomer who is beginning to show traits of his famous father at SANFL reserves level with Woodville-West Torrens.

“We're just sort of learning a little bit about Connor but he is improving at a rapid rate, which is really pleasing,’’ Eagles senior coach Michael Godden told The Advertiser.

...

Last season, according to Andrew, was his first real crack at the sport and he won St Michael’s College’s First XVIII best and fairest award.

...

“But in the past six months he’s grown a lot, from being a bit small to 6ft 2in (192cm) and he’s got strong through his legs.
