Yeah...I dunno WTB.
I was a useless footballer, and they tell me my Dad was too.! My sons don't seem to be much chop at it either!!. And, I reckon a fair pecentage of society could proffer (and boast) similiar hereditary football statistics...!! :)
Its definitely genetic.... :)
And as far as indigenous footballers go, i reckon "the acorn never falls far from the oak tree."
I'm struggling to think of fantastically skilled fathers who don't have similarly skilled sons. The bloodlines run strong in the GNFL, for instance, and footy is all the better for it.
'Application' is perhaps the only thing that seperates fathers & sons, because skills are well & truely catered for.....
The more we see these skills in the AFL, the better the game will be.!!
