AFL: Essendon coach Brad Scott has flagged shifting extra resources towards strength and conditioning as their injury toll mounts.
The AFL’s father-son rule no longer has place in the game, according to Fremantle chief executive Simon Garlick , who believes it diminishes any efforts for equalisation.
The Ashcroft brothers, including Norm Smith medallist Will, were both likely No.1 picks who went to the Lions because of their father, Marcus — a 300-gamer for Brisbane who had first access to them. Similarly, Nick Daicos was widely considered the best player in his draft but went at Pick 4 due to Collingwood’s bid, while Western Bulldogs “unicorn” Sam Darcy, the son of club great Luke, has emerged as a potential $2m-a-season player and was another father-son product.
