I'm unsure if they've even bothered to come up with a rule for this yet, the AFLW competition is still so new. But... everything in AFLW seems to be pro rata'd (for example its points contribution to the McLelland Trophy) so you would hope they'd take an approach that sees the games required as being roughly equivalent - something like 5 full seasons, or thereabouts.

That said, one of the things I hope the AFLW can achieve is to break with some of the annoying traditions of the mens game. Holding the grand final at the MCG is one thing they've no need for in AFLW, and I'd be happy for them to get rid of parent child draft concessions altogether at some point too.

Pretty sure the top rated team hosts the GF.

Also, I remember reading earlier this year that they came up with new f/s m/d rules for the AFLW and yes, it was less games than for the AFL obviously. Of course, I drink a lot so I might have imagined it.

Maybe not the right thread but Port have Burgoyne this year and then Montgomery and Francou next year as eligible father sons. Any of them likely to be a first round pick?

Aren’t they all eligible this year?

They all are indeed.

FWIW, Gillon Wakelin is for next year.

Where do you think they will be drafted ?? Reading the port board they seem to think rookies . But you can only have 2 cat b rookies I thought , and don’t they already have one (ruckman) ?

Rome Burgoyne, Ky Burgoyne, Oliver Francou and Louie Montgomery are this year.
Ben Francou and Gill Wakelin are next year

That's a big number. Any you see as first round picks?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Interesting with Chelsea Randall and Marijane Rajcic's boy..

How many games do the women have to play to qualify

And do parent's games get added together?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Erin Phillips had 46 games for the crows. Shame is there isn't some grand(father) provision in there when it comes.

Maybe they could add extra weighting to the early seasons

Would love to know if they'll ever be a Mother/Son rule would love Tomi Randall-Rajcic running around in the Tri colours one day

All I know is it will happen when the first players start being rated in their juniors as a prospect. AFL will make it happen.

 

[Big Dub]

All I know is it will happen when the first victorian team aligned players start being rated in their juniors as a prospect. AFL will make it happen.

Fixed that for you

Will it happen if the first one would go to the Crows or only if it's a top 5 talent going to a Vic club?

I dont think it matters. The AFL are heavily motivated by their political image and they will not want to be seen to be favouring one gender over another. But we also have to remember, the odds are extremely thin. No point making accusations 8 years into an AFLW competition when its statistically unlikely to produce many mother sons at all. Weve been in the competition for over 30 years and in that time we are at our 2nd father son of note having over looked Edwards and Jars wasnt great.

Lets just worry about it when it magically happens.

No idea about Wakelin and B. Francou, but all of the ones eligible this year will be rookies at best.

At this stage Wakelin might be the same and Ben might not even get to the AFL list

2024 Louie Montgomery
2024 Ky Burgoyne (also FS eligible for Hawthorn)
2024 Rome Burgoyne
2024 Oliver Francou

2025 Gill Wakelin (also FS eligible for St Kilda)
2025 Jake Bishop
2025 Darcy Thurstans
2025 Ben Francou
2025 Charlie Wilson
2025 Tom Wilson

None of the 2025 group look first rounders at this stage.
