CARLTON Football Club will make history at this year’s NAB AFLW Draft, with Abbie McKay becoming the first ever AFLW father-daughter selection.

Under the father-daughter rule, AFLW clubs had until 2pm today to bid for McKay.

Following bids from multiple clubs, the Blues have decided to match the best incoming bid, committing to select McKay in the second round (pick No.16) at the draft on October 23.

Abbie’s father Andrew McKay played 244 games for Carlton between 1993-2003 and was part of the Club’s premiership side in 1995. After his playing career, McKay spent seven years as the Club’s Head of Football, departing at the end of the 2018 season.

Representing Vic Metro in the under-18 national championships on the Gold Coast, McKay began her footy career in a team established by her mum at the Prahran Junior Football Club.

Playing for the Sandringham Dragons, McKay also represented Victoria in an under-18 exhibition match at Adelaide Oval, and was invited to participate in the 2018 AFLW draft combine earlier this month.

Speaking at the AFLW draft combine last week, senior coach Daniel Harford said he was looking forward to securing 17-year-old McKay.

“She’s a father-daughter opportunity for us and we’ve committed to taking her in the draft which is fantastic for the footy club. It’s fantastic for Abbie and hopefully it’s fantastic for us as a team as well,” Harford said.

“She a real competitor and she has a great personality as well, so we’re really keen to get her into the group.”

Nice little video.
