An exciting father-son prospect is one of two AFL Academy level two participants training at Richmond for the next two weeks.

Northern Knights outside midfielder Patrick Naish, the son of former Tiger Chris, and Bendigo Pioneer Kane Farrell will be put through their paces at Punt Road Oval as they gain an insight into the AFL environment.

The AFL Academy two squad includes the best 35 under-18 players in the country, who are eligible to be drafted in 2017.

Highly-skilled, speedy, outside midfielder Patrick Naish is the son of Chris Naish, who played 143 games with the Tigers from 1990-97.

Farrell is a midfielder/rebounding defender, who hails from Castlemaine.
