Father/Son prospect Bailey Scott has nominated North Melbourne as his club of choice ahead of the 2018 NAB National Draft.

Scott was available to North and Geelong as a Father/Son selection and to the Gold Coast as an academy player.  

“I understand it’s a draft and I have not been guaranteed by North Melbourne that I will be selected by them, although if things go to plan as they perceive the draft will unfold then North Melbourne will select me,” the 18-year-old said.

“I was asked to make a decision sooner due to the trade period starting, so over the weekend I went through the process.” 

Scott’s father, Robert, played 113 games for North and was a member of its 1996 premiership side 

“If things work out and I end up at North Melbourne it would be exciting to have the opportunity to play at North Melbourne where my father played in a premiership.

 “My education is important to me and the potential opportunities to study in my selected field in Melbourne were attractive.

“All three clubs were terrific to me throughout this period. I can’t thank them enough.”
