"It's all worked out so well, playing the ‘G, lucky enough to have all my friends and family there, playing in Melbourne, it'll be so good," he said.

"Mum and Dad were both really excited, Mum showed a bit more emotion and was very proud, Dad was a bit more measured in his response as most dads are and he's just very happy.

"He's fully on the Giants bandwagon now, he's converted over from the Dees which is great. It's exciting for them as well as they've helped me out a lot along the way."

GWS select Finn Callaghan with pick No.3 in the 2021 National Draft.

Draft Report: A smooth-moving 191cm midfielder with speed and a raking left boot, Callaghan also proved he can be a weapon on the inside after spending more time in the coalface this season. A damaging offensive player who comes from an athletics background, with his father, Brett, a former Commonwealth Games 400m sprinter. Callaghan makes great decisions in traffic and makes the game appear as if it slows down around him. GWS could pounce at pick 2, while he's unlikely to get past the Suns or the Crows.
