Nice rant, but the basis of your article is just trash.. Not sure where you get the 'convenient' part from, I was simply highlighting that I like both the Father Son and Academies but for completely different reasons ...The historical stuff with Cornes & Eberts are historical and barely relevant to todays discussion but I will acknowledge the eligibility conditions of the past were overly harsh, but all SA & WA clubs as well as Brisbane have enough history and are mature enough that they should be drawing their own father sons from the available eligible pool in line with the rest of the comp and should not need extra concessions.
The more recent examples you quoted were,
Bryon Pickett played 55 games for Port
Daniel Motlop 83 games
Fabian Francis 86 games
Neither of these played the 100 games required to qualify for father son. I am sure every club could come up with similar examples of players that fell short of qualifying.. Its also worth noting that all 3 of these players played for other AFL clubs prior to joining Port.
