    Perhaps we can use this thread to discuss the best Father Son combinations at the Dees.

    Ron Barassi Snr and Jnr - 7 Flags between 

    them.

    I'm not sure if he had any sons, but Robert Flower combined with the zero games played by any sons he may have had was still a better combination than most of the father/son combinations we've had to date.

    From my personal observations, the Vineys win the contest.

    Ron Barassi Jnr was an absolutely inspirational freak, but I never saw his dad in action.

    Are there any here old enough to have seen Barassi Snr before his tragic demise?

    I understand what you said but it's irrelevant in the context of the subject matter.

    Yes. I guess that didn’t pan out as planned.

     However if you told the 2018 me that Farmer jnr wouldn’t have made it but we’ll win a Premiership in 3 years time you know which one I’d take. 

    Ahhh the old timestamparoo got me there. I think we all were waiting with anticipation on Farmer’s boy.

    Hopefully Woey's boy turns in a win and in the near future Nathan Brown and Jeff White's boys are added to the list.

    Nathan Brown’s kids were at the same junior club as my kids a few years back. They were good and placed in club B&F, but they weren’t dominant like most juniors who make it to AFL are. So I wouldn’t hold your breath.

    Here is a list of all players drafted under the father and son rule from all clubs. 

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_players_drafted_to_the_Australian_Football_League_under_the_father–son_rule

    Interesting, just reading through the list (ie have not done the data analysis) it would seem by a fair margin the son more often than not fails to reach the same number of games than the father. So generally fail to reach the same level ?? Genetics not a good guide?  
     

     I love the drafting rule though!!

    Correct. Look at it the other way around. Look how many games sons have played whose fathers' played zero games. That's most of the competition, after all.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
