The McFadyen name has run deep in the Lions' talent pathway for several years, with Fergus' elder brother Connor drafted via the Academy in 2018. A powerful unit at 189cm, the junior sibling broke out onto the VFL scene this year with 37 goals in 19 games, being held goalless just twice while bagging a match-winning high of five against Collingwood in Round 4. McFadyen was part of the Allies setup last year and has a readymade frame for senior football, capable of holding his own both aerially and in one-on-one situations. The two-time reigning premiers could do worse than add him to their rookie list.
