Universal Love The Sons of Greatness

[Aussiemac82]

I love the father son rule.

So many match winning moments have been ingrained into the memories of GFC supporters at the hands of father son selections.

Tom Hawkins after the siren special to the Scarlett - Ablett toe poke, there is something magical and nostalgic that just brings a smile to your face every time it is thought of.

What is your favourite Father Son moment?

The toe poke has to win hands down as it involved the "proceeds" of two father-son selections, and ultimately won us the 2009 GF.

Blakey getting that goal made KP come alive. I remember the roar through the screen and seeing the other players get around him was a sight.

He was like a baby giraffe...

nice one

Amazing number of baby boys produced in recent years.

The ongoing F/S legacy at the club seems like it is meant to be.

That's right. There was an article in the Addy a while ago about it i think.

Abletts getting a premiership was another sentimental moment... I suppose.

The way the game is going don't wright off Scarlo's girls.

 

[James1970]

I'm going early, but I think Oliver Scarlett is a prime candidate for the captaincy. Hence known, the 2030 Premiership side will be known as Oliver's Army!

 

[Aussiemac82]

When Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi had a kid, i remember reading a story of bookies putting odds on to win Wimbledon.

What odds would you give for any of the above to become premiership players?

Note: Sportsbet are that sure of them being premiership players they wouldn't even take my money

 

[topic97]

I always said after the 07 flag that every player with a medallion must go forth and populate ASAP so at least if we didint get another flag we would have another premiership team full of f/s selections in 20 odd years......

If Jimmy is getting married next year there is a good possibility of procreation as well.

Can you imagine all the partners frustrations with the amount of times yelling " NO balls in the HOUSE!!! "

I'll put a wager says Archie J will be doing two step goalkicks from the sideline in Auskick

That was a very cool moment.

I liked too during the 2009 Premiership presentations that 4 successive players by guernsey number - Mark Blake, Tom Hawkins, Gary Ablett and Matthew Scarlett - were father/son selections. If you listened hard you could hear the cries from opposition fans.

I have that game on VHS! Was living up in whoop-whoop so there's a massive WIN logo in one corner. I think that was the match where Corey Eright broke his jaw courtesy of friendly fire from Hank Playfair. Xavier Clarke f*cked his knee too. We dominated the first quarter - jumped out to a forty point lead I think. Then they stormed us in the second and we we about even at half time. Goal-for-goal for the second half basically.

Cracker of a game!

E.F.A..

Given that we had 4 FATHER-SON contributors that day, with Hawkins & Blake, the toe poke gets the vote, but from a purely orgasmic footy moment, watching Hawkins pinch the win after the siren against the highly fancied Hawks was more special.

Is 4 Father-Sons in a winning GF a VFL/AFL record?

had to buy a box of Kleenex tissues on the way back home after seeing that goal

My memories of Blakey's first, and then second goals, v Tigers in 07, are clouded by the fact that he was "rested" the week after. He was not happy, had played a really good game, and it was looking like King would not get back in. By the time he returned, it appeared his confidence and form had dropped. The rest is history.

But that first goal was magnificent, given Blakey only ever handballed as soon as he got it, as if under instruction. His actual kicking was awkward looking, but pretty reasonable.
