Yea - Think tucky and the Kellaways have the best chance - pretty sure they married into sisters of footy players..
but kids a long way off..
Would be disappointed if Cogs or Michael Gale ended up producing gun footy players that did not get to play for the tigers due to a lack of 7 games.

I reckon John Murphy was an excellent player. Would have been in the starting midfield of any team of his era. The rest I would probably agree with though...

Steve Wallis was an excellent player for the dogs, Ray Shaw was a Collingwood captain and fine player and as already mentioned John Murphy was a gun at Fitzroy, not far off his son.
But the point is largely correct. Joel Bowden was a much better player than his Dad as was Richo as 2 Tiger examples. John Scarlett was a good player but not in the same class as Matthew.

A bit harsh here:
John Murphy was a very very good footballer - captain of the Roy boys & played for Victoria - hard as nails & played well over 200 games.
Steve Wallis was an excellent footbaler too.
Jumping Jack Hawkins - he of the hangar mark was no dud & added a fair bit of excitement to the game
Ray Shaw while being a little Collingwood mongrel - was no dud in his day & also captained his Club which would be considered an honour

The mother also plays a big part. I think you'll find that most gun footy player have a mother who played high level women's sport.

Hopefully a candidate in 15 years!

Didn't Lids' Dad play one game for Carlton and was a bit of a spud, but his Mum played state level netball?

Next ones coming through are Dale Weightman's boys. Pretty sure the oldest is 14 so we won't see him for 4 years.

The oldest boy must be closer to 12. I remember seeing him with a young boy at a Coburg game at Box Hill years ago. Billy Nicholls won the game for Box Hill in the dying seconds! Can't remember anything else so that means it was >10 years ago.
