AFL Media has taken a look at our most eligible father-son prospects, which include 26 eligible sons of greats from the Cats' three flags from 2007-2011.
On the horizon: Geelong will have two father-son prospects in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships this year eligible for the draft – Bailey Scott (Robert, Allies) and Oscar Brownless (Billy, Vic Country). Scott, a tough midfielder, has three options at the draft table this year with Geelong and North Melbourne (father-son) and Gold Coast (Academy) vying for his services. Brownless' Geelong Falcons teammate Baxter Mensch(son of David) has averaged 35 disposals in the past two weeks. Both Brownless (186cm) and Mensch (177cm) play midfield roles compared to their fathers who were forwards. Lochlan Hocking (Garry's son) also spent time training with the Falcons this pre-season.
Watch list: Can you picture Johnny Ottens palming down to Aston Bartel who feeds it out to the run of Boh Enright, flicks onto Myles Chapman, shares with Archie Johnson and hits up Jagger Mooney in attack? That's the prospect that awaits Geelong in 2037. Incredibly from the Cats' three flags from 2007-2011, the club has 26 eligible father-sons. Other names such as Scarlett, Taylor, Mackie, Harley, Wojcinski, Kelly, Milburn, King, Ling, Corey, Hunt and Lonergan could be donning the blue and white in future years. William Kilpatrick (son of Glenn) played U16's for Geelong Falcons earlier this year.
Past father-son successes: Gary and Nathan Ablett, Matthew Scarlett, Tom Hawkins and Mark Blakeplayed a combined nine premierships between 2007-2011. Hawkins and Gary Ablett are joined on the current list by Jed Bews and Sam Simpson.
