PLENTY of draft prospects have former footballers in their family to provide some advice or support. Curtis Taylor has Shane Warne.

Taylor, who booted three goals for Vic Metro last week, explains his family link to the champion spin bowler on this week's Road to the Draft podcast.

The likely first-round pick also chats about his friendship with last year's No.1 choice Cam Rayner, his intent on moving into the midfield and the work he's taken up this year.
