Father-son selections

IF the MFC managed to get the rules changed to get Ron Barassi Jnr then more power to them.  At this stage he must be regarded as our best father / son pick.

Wasn't aware that Big Bob Johnson was also a formal father / son pick - was also a great contributor to that golden era.

Jack Viney is the only other standout in my memory.  

Many other were just so-so, or less (but congratulations to them all for ever achieving what the overwhelming majority of posters here have not: getting selected onto an AFL/VFL list)

    Tiernan Stynes is still a couple of years away. However, he was also regarded very highly in basketball ranks and made a state junior representative side a little while ago, 

    Confirmed today that Tiernan Stynes has chosen basketball ahead of footy. Stynes has been playing well at Nunawading’s NBL1 senior team this season. He’s been working under 400-game NBL legend and former Boomer Adam Gibson.

    Ruckmen take a while - so he can enjoy some US university time, and then come and play for the Dees when he is 22 via Cat B :)

    I played against Big Bob - he was 40ish I was 17.  Big presence on field when you're still a kid.

    Think of it not as losing a potential player, but as gaining a potential extremely wealthy supporter.

    Also, is there some kind of Stynes genetic condition where they feel compelled to change country?
