I’ve seen plenty of discussion about father/son and academy selections this year but I’ve been finding it hard to find a comprehensive list with expectations. So I thought I’d start one. I’ve been following reports on the Pies priority access selections this year (though if I have their draft expectations wrong someone please correct me) but I haven’t kept up on other clubs. I thought if everyone could post what they are aware of on this regards I will update the OP with the info. Mostly who they are, whether they are academy or father/son and a rough range of where they are expected to go on draft night. As the formal nominations are announced I will also update the below.

Geelong have Oscar Brownless as a F/S and are considering whether to rookie Blake Schlensog from their next gen academy.

We also have Baxter Mensch as a F/S who is considered to be a rookie prospect at best.

Thanks Nakia. Do you know what draft range is expected for Brownless?

Two NGAs for the Dockers - Carter and Medhut.
 
Brisbane Lions:
Connor McFadyen (Lions Academy) - pick 30/35+.
Keiden Coleman (Lions Academy) - late late draft to rookie.
James Rendell (FS - Sandringham Dragons) - Rookie to undrafted.
Casey Voss (FS - SANFL) - Rookie to undrafted.
 
Bombers will probably grab Mason Fletcher very late or as a rookie I’d imagine. Matt Neagle perhaps a chance, was looking ok before that horrific arm injury
 
The Bulldogs have Rhylee West as a F/S and a top 20 prospect. Imo, I reckon he could end up as one of the best players from this draft.

Looks like we'll get them all, and they're all promising.

Hes got 3 younger brothers too. We could really be the Sons of the West in the near future.

Struth! I really rate Rylee too so If his brothers are as good you've got your compass pointing in the right direction.
