Tomorrow they will actually play alongside each other in the Subiaco league side as the young Allisten makes his league debut for the Lions. History in the making!

The young fella has a good sense of humour too. During an interview he was asked if he would be looking to pass the ball to his old man.
He replied "If I've got hold of it inside 50 it's going straight over his head"


That is an extraordinary occurrence in this day and age at that level of footy.
What if his Dad tells him to do something different to what his coach tells him, which one does he ignore?

Father and two sons played A grade Div 6 footy at Ingle Farm all year. I think eldest won the B&F and dad runner up or vice versa. Eldest son and dad played in a premiership together in 2005. Youngest lad was still in the 14s i think. Hawksworths. Dad is 43 or 4 and ruthless but fair.
