If they nominate us we just get them automatically with the last pick. I guess it comes down to like with Dear who nobody else was going to take do we think he's better than pick 79?
It’s not “automatic”. The club still has to be willing to put him on the list.

We wouldn’t just pick a F/S eligible kid who isn’t considered draft able when there might be better players still available, simply because of who his father was.

For example, in May 2018 the afl / draft scribes got a bit excited about Tom Graham (son of Mark who was F/S eligible for us).

He was elevated from local footy and started playing TAC for Oakleigh but didn’t really set the world on fire - yet some said we should still take him because he was 6’5” and the son of a gun.

Fortunately we didn’t waste a selection.

He has played the last 6 years in SANFL / NTFL and been handy, but was never good enough to play top flight footy.

We also didn’t pick up Devlin Brereton, nor….Ned Maginness.

Why?

Funnily enough - they weren’t good enough.

Same might well happen with Ky Burgoyne.

Travis Cloke strategy. Pick up the less talented olders brother(s), then delist them once you secure Travis/Percy.

Hmmm didn’t appreciate Peter had a boy eligible at the same time as Ky. That’s not good at all for us.

That would be a very tough decision to make to choose the Hawks and not play with your cousin and on the flip side incredibly exciting to play with your cousin at Port. Plus it reunites Shaun and Peter watching their boys play in the same side.

Doesn’t read well for us at all.

On the flip side, port can’t fit them all in due to limited positions, An form doesn’t warrant them as early draft picks.

Does anyone actually like their cousins?

Jase Burgoyne (Peter’s eldest) is obviously another cousin who is already playing at Port.
 
Will Ned be a 194cm strong bodied mid or is there potential to play as a KP. How has he been going this season. Sorry if this has been answered before
I don't think Ned has the toughness to be kpp or inside player, he is still playing wing mostly, the height has helped his marking, but he is still just going ok at the CTL for Sandringham, I don't know if he's done enough to be drafted tbh
