It was legal, just increasingly unpalatable with subsequent rule amendments:
• His dad, Brian Brown, played 51 games for Fitzroy between 1976 and 1981.
• Fitzroy merge with the Brisbane Bears at the end of 1996, which includes the newly-minted Brisbane Lions receiving all of Fitzroy's eligible father-sons.
• Jonathan Brown, a highly-touted Vic Country key position prospect, is successfully swooned by Leigh Matthews, Gubby Allan and co as a result of just squeaking in on the FS-requirement of 50 games, and he duly commits to the Lions (ND#30, 1999) along with Shane Morrison (ND#44, 1999) whose dad played in the QAFL lol.
• The father-son VFL-AFL games requirement jumped to 100 games not long afterward.

Sets a precedent for a 2:1 SANFL/VFL ratio. Looking forward to the 18 VFL premierships being recognised.

Imagine a midfield of Selwood, Ablett, and Dangerfield....
Scary to say the least.

7 news says that the Suns won't release Ablett, who will honour the last 2 years of his contract. Of course, like Stephen Rowe, 7 news has never been wrong.....

GAJ requesting a trade out after just having signed a 3 year contract.. what is wrong with these players. It's at best indecisive and at worst borderline unethical, i.e. the practice of frontloading contracts and seeking a move towards the back end when the pay comes down ala Bryce Gibbs.

I think it's pretty clear now that SOS was a Carlton secret agent the whole time.

The SANFL were just as culpable.
Because the drongos counted preseason and night premiership games alongside proper league games/finals, the 200 game tally was arrived at as a comparitive balance to the WAFL (150 games) and VFL/AFL (100 games) father-son pools because a ridiculous amount of players seemingly made it to 100+ and 150+.
Once the snafu was discovered, "no, only league games count", the ship had sailed and the eligible players from the 9 SANFL clubs shrank dramatically.
It's why the Peter Careys, Ralph Sewers, Russell Eberts and scores of SANFL players have astronomically high games tallies.
If Michael Tuck, Kevin Bartlett and Brent Harvey counted their preseason and night games their fabled tallies would be closer to 9000.

FWIW Geelong also broke the rules.
Traded out for danger last year, Henderson this year and touhy next. 3 in a row. afl enforcing rules is a myth.

Technically they only have to use 2 First Rounders in 4 years, not first rounders in 2 years out of 4. So if they trade in another next year, they're fine. They haven't broken any rules yet.
Now, whether the AFL actually will punish them if they don't get that second first rounder next year? That remains to be seen.
Is there anything that explains what the penalty is? Or will it be made up?
Fine? Restricted trade rules? Maybe a % penalty using the draft value index and your second and third picks slide down?
Like the suggestion of teams refusing to trade with them. Sorry Cats but only got one first rounder to give and only one player on your list is that value to us
That's not all, story going around is he's told his teammates who are thinking of jumping ship that they should get out now whilst they can.
Imo that's a s**t attitude to have from a player at a club let alone skipper & leader, with him asking to be traded surely there's no way he can retain the captaincy going forward? Not that he was captain material anyway, would give it to Lynch asap.

If you include GAA then you'd also have to include rugby which would make playing professional football in 4 countries an unremarkable stat when you'd have guys that would've played in Australia, NZ, England, Wales, France, South Africa etc etc.
