What happened to Josh Misiti ?
Bit of a shitpost question - but does a player have to be a biological son to be eligible under the F/S rule?
The big ginger kid? He became a meme the year before he was born. Absolutely prophetic

Got hurt in the 2nd half of the NAB league and didn’t play again this season.
Talk is he will probably play some VFL for us next season

Seems a little stiff to dads who have had to or chose to legally adopt if I’m honest

AFL discretion. They said a few years ago basically the family would make a submission and they’d consider it.

I would hope if the kid was legally adopted from a young age, they would be treated as F/S.
But if a club great suddenly adopted an entire TAC cup side, it would not be accepted as a F/S nomination.

I think there may be an adoption clause, depends on age of kid at adoption. If there isn’t then there should be.
Stephen Smith, ex-Melbourne, had an adopted son, I think by another AFL player, who was eligible to be picked by Melbourne. Can’t remember who.
Nasiah Wanganeen Milera is Eddie Sansbury’s biological kid, Terry Milera’s adopted stepkid
Both only played about 50 games though.
Why not have the draft a week or 2 after the trade period is finished why wait till the end of November.
So that all the draftees finish their exams and everything first.

Ahhh that explains it
Yep, exams mostly, but also they want to wait til clubs are back in preseason training, so the new draftees can go along to their club and some of the senior list will actually be there rather than all off snarfing down the disco bikkies in Ibiza.

That would be a very different approach to orientation.
