I don’t think I’ve seen a profession which is just full of nepotism/APSm than AFL football media
Off the top of my head we have:
1. Tom Browne - Jeff Browne’s son
2. Sam Maclure - son of former the Age columnist - can’t wipe the smug of his face
3. Xander McGuire - son of Eddie - gets a name check by Caro etc every episode these days
4. Jobe Watson - guy is borderline incoherent has a special comments role because his dad is Tim who has been with 7 nearly 25 years
5. Caroline Wilson - dad was the former Richmond president
6. Tom Morris - Melbourne grammar boy quite close with Caroline etc
7. Sam Lane daughter of Tim
8. Tony Sheehan the hunter Biden of afl media
9. Mark Commetti son of Dennis calls for MMM Perth
Now I’m not saying that some of these guys are not talented but it is a crazy industry - feels like your family tree is more important than the degree!
