Some exciting news from the off-season for Nick and Bianca Suban, with the couple announcing they’re expecting their first child.

The pair will welcome the new addition to their family in July 2017.

“Both Bianca and I are very excited,” Suban said. 

“I am a little bit nervous but overwhelmed with happiness.”

Baby Suban would be eligible to play for Freo under the father-son rule and also the newly created father-daughter rule.

Introduced in December 2016, future AFLW players can be nominated by a club based on the father-daughter rule if their father played at least one AFL game for the club.

Either way it’s a win-win for Freo fans.

Congratulations to the Subans!
