How many father/sons have played for the 

MFC?

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.

Anyone know what Wiz Junior is up to these days?

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
