La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 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. 1 Quote

monoccular 17,760 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 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? 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. Quote

So generally fail to reach the same level ?? Genetics not a good guide? I love the drafting rule though!! Edited April 13, 2022 by kryton101 Errors Quote

Look how many games sons have played whose fathers' played zero games. That's most of the competition, after all. 1 1 Quote
