Hi
Thought an interesting distraction from having a mate who actually knows wtf is happening in Trade Season... but won't share a damn bit, would be to chat about our favourite Father Son of all time.
Mine is lame in that its recent and pretty widely accepted:
Gary Ablett Snr
Gary Ablett Jnr
Why? Gazza 1 was a goal kicking machine and would fight for a mark everytime, no fluff. Just a few stats: 3 yrs consecutively kicked over 120 goals, 9 goals in GF
Gazza 2 had silky skills that really sh1t me in our GF. He had a unique knack at being where the ball fell and could hit targets time after time. He really was a pleasure to watch when not smashing us.
Honourable mention:
John Kennedy Jnr
Josh Kennedy
I have been a big fan of both.

Re: Father-Son
Brett Bowey's son Jake I hear is quite good. Unfortunately Brett didn't play 100 games though.

Re: Father-Son
Sadly we've had nothing from father/ son but the future looking rosy with my 2 grandsons, Jacob and Hunter Hayes, the 3 Riewoldt boys, a couple of Dal boys...surely we snare a couple of gems out of that lot!!
Wouldn't it be great if we had future Hayes, Riewoldt & Dal Santo plus hop[efully a Montagna thrown in for good measure?
HAPPY DAYS.

The AFL will change the rules on father-son before they are ready.Saintmike65 wrote: ↑Tue 03 Nov 2020 8:25am Sadly we've had nothing from father/ son but the future looking rosy with my 2 grandsons, Jacob and Hunter Hayes, the 3 Riewoldt boys, a couple of Dal boys...surely we snare a couple of gems out of that lot!!

That's how the AFL keep us down.

Re: Father-Son
The real bonus might come with the Mother-Son rule. Have to adjust the rules for short seasons though.
