Collingwood president Jeff Browne has launched an impassioned defence of the AFL father-son system, declaring it would be a “knee-jerk reaction” to alter the rules “because a couple of players have turned out to be exceptional footballers”. The scheme that helped the Magpies secure 2023 premiership captain Darcy Moore, Brownlow contender Nick Daicos and brother Josh has come under fire in recent days as part of a wider draft overhaul.
“I mention these names to make the point that the father-son rule is integral to the history and tradition of our great game,” Browne said in his address before Collingwood’s clash with Essendon on Friday night. “Last year our club had the privilege of seeing Peter Moore present the premiership cup to his son Darcy. “It was one of the great romantic moments in football and a huge thrill for all Collingwood members and fans.
