My whole point is just that sons of professional footballers should not qualify for academies.
So because he’s the son of a former player he gets to rot playing sub standard junior football in Sydney?

The issue is actually around whether someone who is F/S eligible should be able to be selected by the Academy club and if so, what they have to pay through the draft.

No, they would still be able to play in the academy system, but they wouldn’t be able to select him. Just like the southern academies, which can’t select anyone good enough to be a top 40 pick
 
I wonder if there'll ever be an appetite for broadening the father-son qualification criteria. In my opinion, the arbitrary 100-game limit is too restrictive and, well, arbitrary. I mean, what really is the difference between 99 and 100 games? There are many other measures of a player's contribution to a club.

Take Matthew Capuano, for example. A two-time North Melbourne premiership player who, because of injuries, only played 82 games for the club. He's one of only a handful of players to win a premiership at North - never mind two - but were he to produce a generational talent of a son, he wouldn't be FS eligible.

Laidley is another; only 99 games, but a premiership, and 149 more as coach. But ineligible.

I really think premierships and Brownlows at the very least should count, and probably games coached, too. I'd say B&Fs as well, but I guess that could be rorted.

Before I climb down from my soapbox, here's how I'd do it. Make it a points system; instead of 100 games, it's 100 points, scored something like this:

1 game = 1 point
Premiership = 75 points
Brownlow = 50 points
Norm Smith Medal = 50 points
Best and Fairest = 20 points
All-Australian = 20 points

Something like that, anyway.

Years on the list maybe?

The pre-requisite should be whether their parent's name is on a locker.

Great points. I think premiership player should definitely be automatic inclusion/availability. 100 games is too high IMO. Many very good players play less than 100 games for a club. Should be 50 games or something like 5 years on a list.
Academies taking players whose father played for another club is an absolute rort.

I agree, but I also see the counter argument, that having more players who are eligible to be drafted as father-son players would more heavily compromise the already highly compromised draft.
 
I have the opposite view, and think the whole FS thing should be scrapped, and not have added eligibility options. I'll be in the minority with this opinion. But it does compromise the system when you can trade 5 rubbish picks for points to equal a first rounder.

Do other sports have a similar rule?

Yep, scrap the lot and have a clean draft.

I'm with you.
