Zac is the son of Crows assistant coach and AFL Hall of Famer Ben Hart, who played 311 games for the side, including their back-to-back premierships in 1997-98. On the horizon: Zac Hart could be the Crows' third father-son selection in as many years. However, only 191 of those were between 19, meaning Gibbs was allowed to go into the draft and was picked up by Carlton. A famous case involved No.1 overall draft pick Bryce Gibbs, who the Crows wanted as a father-son pick because his father Ross played 253 games for Glenelg. The Crows also have father-son rights over players with 200 or more games at SANFL clubs Norwood, Glenelg, Sturt and South Adelaide, provided those games were in a 20-year period between 19, before the Crows entered the AFL in 1991. Who is eligible: The sons of Crows players with 100 or more games for the club are eligible as father-son selections.
