Are the Abletts a worldwide phenomenon?

Bobby and Brett Hull - Hockey

Bang on. They were going to be my nomination.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Gracies Did ok

 

[Upgrayedd]

Also the Anoa'is

Michael and Travis tuck have more flags....and are related to abletts

Graham and Shaun Pollock were uncle and nephew and a seriously great cricketing family combination.
Not top 10 of all time but amongst the best players in their respective eras

There was a Peter Pollock too.
Graham Pollock could easily be in top ten batsmen ever but his career was during a time South Africa got banned so will never really know.

Noone outside Victoria gives two shits about the Abletts.

Let alone the rest of the world.

What his GC days represent is the fact he was a great player without the team around him, at the time a lot of people had doubts he would be as good without the support. His legacy as one of the all time great players is already assured....In terms of club stature he is easily the Suns best player ever ( obviously) & he would sit in the top 10 greatest ever Geelong players.

He is in the top 3 greatest ever geelong players. He has 3 comp MVPs at geelong.

'Old' Tom Morris won the Open golf championship in 1861, 1862, 1864, 1867 and his son 'Young' Tom Morris won it in 1868, 1869, 1870, 1872.

But how do we know that old Tom Morris wasn't just young Tom Morris with a top hat, fake moustache and monocle?

One is a murderer, the other a bigot.

Comprehension isn’t one of your strengths.

Phillip of Macedon was solid if not spectacular but his son Alexander was the GOAT

When Hawthorn played GC, I don't think Ablett enhanced his rep.

We thumped them and let Ablett run around without a tag collecting close to 40 touches and goals. We let him do whatever he wanted.

And we let their mids service him as much as planned.

Ablett's time at the GC is a little embarrasing.

So like Tom Mitchell at Hawthorn?

Now do you see how silly your argument is?

Might want to reread the OP. He never stated that the world cared.

 

[Macpotata]

*n oath. World renowned. ESPN can't stop speaking about them and there's a famous statue recently put up in Spain of the Ablett's, including Nathan.



They're illustrious they're a phenomenon they're philosophical.

*s sake

Garry Jack and Kieren Jack is a fascinating example because they played different codes.

Bobby and Brett Hull - Hockey

Had a quick read (know nothing of hockey) and this might be the closest example so far.

Peter schmeichel and his son kasper both won epl titles ,both goalkeepers.

Hayden Bunton Senior & Hayden Bunton Junior come close.

Here are Senior's career highlights:


And Junior's:


But to borrow WillHayward's stance, as the Bunton's didn't play in NSW who cares

 

[WillHayward]

Billy and Oscar Brownless.

Two all time greats.

I just thought' worldwide phenomenon' seemed a touch over the top...

fu**n oath. World renowned. ESPN can't stop speaking about them and there's a famous statue recently put up in Spain of the Ablett's, including Nathan.



They're illustrious they're a phenomenon they're philosophical.

In sierra Leone they view grandma (Gary's mum) like the Catholics view Mary.
One step off God.

Look it up in the dictionary then

Muhammad Ali's daughter was also a world champion boxer I believe.

 

[Furn2]

Cant think of any that are both as good as the Abletts.

Tonnes of examples where the father was a goat contending superstar and the son was pretty good or the other way round and plenty where they've both been world champions etc.
