Ken Fletcher started in 1967.
When he retired in 1980, Tim Watson was playing.
When he retired in 1994, Ken's son Dustin was playing.
Tim's son Jobe started in 2002, while Dustin is still playing.
If Jobe continues for another 4 seasons (and he could well do that) there's a chance he could play alongside Dustin's son Mason, should he get drafted.

Hypotheticals aside, when one considers what has already been achieved by a pair of father-sons at the same club where at least one of the family has represented Essendon every year since 1967 (excluding 1992 when Tim was 'retired'), it is nothing short of extraordinary:

- 5 Premierships
- 1 Brownlow Medal
- 9 Crichton Medals
- 4 All-Australian Awards
- 3 Club Captains
- 1166 games in the red and black!

Wow.

Edit: Ken started in 1967, not 1965.

Stopher, Mason is 16 now I think.

So a very good chance then? Assuming he can play a bit?

Yep, I'd say so.

I think I remember a similar thread on the main board where you had to show the shortest possible chain from a current player to someone who played for you in Round 1 1897 (as in played at least one game together).

From memory we didn't even win!

 

[Its Manbearpig]

.. From memory we didn't even win!

Which raises the question.. who did?! :/

 

[fishardansin]

Now do Don Adams.

Fletch will still be playing when he's 86.

my one is slightly inaccurate in relation to the Ken Fletcher and Jack Clarke link.

Clarke played his last game in round 2 1967 and Fletcher played his first in round 3 1967.

Can't get much closer than that though.
