In Australia for their biggest sport, Aussie rules football, their primary league has a rule that the son(s) of a former player are given priority to their father’s team to draft them if he played a majority of his games with that franchise. The teams drafting the son still have to give up a draft pick depending on that son’s projected value but they can jump ahead of teams in that round to grab the son if needed.
Franchises don’t have to sign the son of a former player but have ultimate priority if they want them.
Seeing how more second and third generation players we are seeing come up every year now in football, what would your reaction be if this rule was implemented?
