Has there ever been a better father/son duo than the Abletts?

My apologies....I see where Hot Pies! has beaten me to it - but Haydn Bunton Snr & Jnr get my vote.

Senior - He played 119 games for Fitzroy between 1931 and 1937 and again in 1942. He kicked 209 goals and won five club Best and Fairest. He won three Brownlow Medals in 1931 and 1932 and again in 1935.

He represented both Victoria and Western Australia and won three Sandover Medals for Best and Fairest in the west.

Junior - Bunton commenced his league career as a seventeen year old with North Adelaide in 1954 and two years later was one of South Australia's best players at the interstate carnival in Perth, earning All Australian selection and the plaudits of team mates and opponents alike. At the end of the season he finished first in North's best and fairest voting. Although still aged only nineteen, Bunton already had coaching aspirations, and aware of this the Redlegs had offered him the job of senior coach for 1957.

Bunton coached Norwood for two years, the first in a strictly non-playing capacity after North refused to clear him, and in 1958 he steered the side to a losing grand final against Port Adelaide. In 1959 he moved to Tasmania as coach of Launceston, but after suffering horrendous injuries in a car accident prior to the start of the season it was feared he might never walk again. However, the same determination that had helped him shrug off the effects of Perthe's disease returned to the fore again, and Bunton not only walked once more, he returned to the football field. In that season's final series he picked himself at centre against City-South and managed over 30 disposals, all but 4 of them handpasses.

After spending the 1960 season back with Norwood, Bunton embraced the greatest challenge of his career to date by accepting an offer to coach WANFL club Swan Districts, which at that point in time had yet to win a senior flag. Bunton's achievement in lifting Swans from last place in 1960 to an odds-defying grand final defeat of East Perth in 1961 seems, if anything, even more miraculous in hindsight than it probably did at the time. Further premierships followed in 1962 and 1963, and Haydn Bunton's reputation as a master coach was born. Perhaps even more miraculously, the man who just three and a half years earlier had been groaning semi-conscious in a crushed vehicle, with shattered ribs, mangled kneecap, and profuse internal bleeding, was in 1962 awarded the Sandover Medal as Western Australia's pre-eminent footballer.

I dont think so. The Ablett's are the best in my opinion and who ever is second best is a mile behind them.

There just so damn good!

Forget father/son, what about the entire Ablett family?

Three brothers -- Geoff, Kevin and Gary

Sons and nephews -- Luke, Gary and Nathan

In-laws -- Michael Tuck (most senior games of any player).

I agree with Miki - the Abletts are a football dynasty not just one father/son.

Lil Wayne and Birdman.

Graham & Chad Cornes are the close to 2nd best but no-one really comes close Gary snr & jr & probably never will.

yes lots

Yeah probably the Abletts.

But in a few (many) years we could have Cousins future kids.. please Cuz!!

What about the Buntons?

Dont forget Enrique and Julio!
