Best Father/Son players

[Sydney_Malakellis]

Who do you consider the best father/son combinations in footy history?

I'd go:
1) The Silvagnis
2) The Abletts (although Gary and Nathan could still push up to top spot)
3) The Barassis
4) The Whittens

I'm having a bit of a mental blank about what other great father/sons there are. Where would father/sons like the Cousins' and Cornes' fit in?
Cheerio!

 

[Dippers_Mullet]

The Kennedys surely.

 

[Claude Balls]

Leo and Michael Turner for Geelong are surely the best in terms of combined talent. Both of them made Geelong's team of the Century.

 

[Grave Danger]

The Eberts and Williamses

 

[HFC082]

The Kennedys surely.

SOSSES would be my pick. Kenners wasnt bad though

 

[Nightwolf]

The Abletts? Pahhhleassee. Surely not yet..

Id throw in the Fletchers at Essendon...

 

[Papa G]

Not sure about father/son but the Spiro and Anthony were obviously the best set of brothers

 

[EagleMan87]

SOSSES would be my pick. Kenners wasnt bad though

You do know that SOS means Son of Serge, right? They can't BOTH be SOSses .

The Eberts and Williamses

Two bit country leagues need not apply.

 

[Monkey King]

I'd say the Silvagni's have it from the Kennedy's. Honorable mentions to the Whitten's and the Fletcher's.

 

[Bigdon]

i think the watsons wil end up alright, jobe will be a 200+ game player

Yeah Mark Williams is a nobody, He defenantly didnt come over to the VFL and become captain of a team and win best and fariests.

What club was that again?

 

[Budda 230]

The Scarlett's are pretty damn good!

 

[deefa]

Brian & Ben Cousins............

 

[Upgrayedd]

Few years the hawkins could possibly make a claim

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Kennedy's
Hudson's
Tuck's

But I may be biased !

 

[Mad Dog]

Yabletts I think

 

[Zeke]

Clokes?

 

[goal sneak]

Shaws

 

[The Coon Dog]

Few years the hawkins could possibly make a claim

I haven't seen Doug's boy play, but if half as good as his old man...

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

i think the watsons wil end up alright, jobe will be a 200+ game player

Will he play any good ones?

 

[Pamam]

Will he play any good ones?

GOLD!!

TOTALLY GOLD!!!

Paul Hudson was pretty good. Nowhere near as good as his old man, but still made All-Australian and kicked about 400 goals.
His old man is a bona-fide legend of the game.

Sergio Silvagni and Ken Fletcher captained their clubs, but were nowhere near as good as Huddo.
Serge + Steve = Peter + Paul

Matthew Robran was okay, not great; his old man was a champion.
Not sure about Bryan Cousins, or Bull Richardson.

Without doubt, the best father/son combo are the Abletts, Gary Sr and Gary Jr.
Still early days for Junior, but only a tool would deny his ability.
