GUN father-son and academy prospect Bailey Scott will leave AFL clubs in limbo for a few more weeks, revealing he won’t make a decision on his preferred choice until after his university exams.

The 18-year-old is in the unique situation of being tied to Geelong and North Melbourne as a father-son pick — father Robert played over 100 games at both clubs — while he is also eligible as an academy selection for Gold Coast.

Sydney Swans academy member Nick Blakey is in a similar situation, but made a call to pick the Swans earlier in the year to ensure he wasn’t telling “white lies”.

Scott said he would sit down in coming weeks to finalise his decision.

“All the clubs have been really good with the support, allowing me to finish off the year of football, combine this week and allow me to keep studying and finish my uni next week,” Scott told reporters.

“(I’ve) got exams and assignments, then I’ll get a chance to sit down with the important people and talk to them about a decision and make a call from there, but the clubs have been really good, just letting me have my time.”

The Allies midfielder, who averaged 23.8 disposals during the Under 18 championships, said putting off the decision has helped him play some “pretty good football”.

“I sort of just put the decision to the back of my mind throughout the year and it allowed me to play some pretty good football and have a good year, and then keep sticking to studies,” he said.

“It hasn’t really hit me yet. The next couple of weeks, they’ll be a lot of things going through my head, but obviously I’ve got people around me who are really good support.

“I’ll talk with them and I’ll be able to make a decision.

“I was happy to put it off and wait for things to be over. It felt right to wait to make a decision, (so) I wasn’t second guessing my decision if I had of made one.

“And (it has) just given me the chance to experience every AFL club and see what they are like.

“It’ll just come down to whatever feels right, no specific indications for where to go — just the ones that feel right.”

In another twist, the Gold Coast Suns media team were also in attendance at Wednesday’s press conference at Marvel Stadium, with Geelong and North Melbourne’s media team not attending.

The Suns are also set to reveal Werribee mature-ager Josh Corbett as their first priority selection under the new AFL dispensation rule.

Corbett is not sitting interviews and will not test at the 2018 draft combine.
