Collingwood fans are already salivating at the prospect of securing another highly-rated father-son prospect in Tom McGuane at the end of next season.

Fresh from kicking three goals, having 33 disposals and 10 clearances in his senior debut for Keilor last Saturday and after a strong start to the Coates Talent League with Western Jets, the son of Magpies premiership player and dual best and fairest winner Mick McGuane is being touted as one of the most exciting talents in next year’s draft pool.

But the Magpies are aware they will likely have to pay a high price for the classy 177cm midfielder, given the AFL’s intention of changing the bidding system on father-sons and academy players, potentially as early as this year.

McGuane doesn’t turn 17 until August, but was named last month by AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheahan as among the top 25 draft prospects for 2025.

Sheahan said of McGuane: “He has clean hands, while strong decision-making is another key asset” while describing him as “a must watch player over the next 18 months.”

The Magpies have had a strong record of father-son selections in recent years, with skipper Darcy Moore and the Daicos brothers, Nick and Josh, all playing in last year’s premiership.

        It's suggested that clubs may have to use picks in the same round in which the player lands. (NT) -- Annabelle, 18:30 19/06/24 Wed
