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

ย 

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 Barassiย Snr before his tragic demise?

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

Yes. I guess that didnโ€™t pan out as planned.

ย However if you told the 2018 me that Farmer jnr wouldnโ€™t have made it but weโ€™ll win a Premiership in 3 years time you know which one Iโ€™d take.ย 

Ahhh the old timestamparoo got me there. I think we all were waiting with anticipation on Farmerโ€™s boy.ย

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 Brownโ€™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 werenโ€™t dominant like most juniors who make it to AFL are. So I wouldnโ€™t hold your breath.

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

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_players_drafted_to_the_Australian_Football_League_under_the_fatherโ€“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? ย

ย 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.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
