Does anyone have a record of how many father/son picks each club has made? I've just been reading about Tom Hawkins who is about to become the next Geelong F/S pick and it seems they've had a bucketload of them.

Matthew Scarlett
SOG1
SOG2
Tim Callan
Mark Blake

and not to mention Ben Cousins who could have been picked up under F/S but opted for West Coast.

Must be something in the water down there.

Collingwood probably pips them but with 3 Clokes and 3 Shaws amongst those lot, that feels like a Pyrrhic victory to me

i like the concept of the father/son rule, but its just unfair on struggling clubs that other clubs who already possess a pool of talent get to pick up the next big thing in later rounds of the draft.
for example tom hawkins- he could be a top 5 draft pick but instead is going to geelong in round 3 of the draft because of the father/son rule.
