Gary Ablett Snr played his last game on the 8th of September 1996, Gary Ablett Jr made his debut on the 30th of March 2002. That is only a very small 5 and a half years between father and son. Also Tim McGrath, David Mensch, Peter Riccardi, Ben Graham, Aaron Lord, Brad Sholl, Brenton Sanderson, Ronnie Burnes, Glenn Kilpatrick and Steven King played with both of them.

I will try to find more about other Father/Sons picks but I think this is hard to beat.
 
So let me get this strait between the time Ablett (snr) retired and the time Ablett (jnr) played it was such a big thing that you needed to make a thread about it ?

Was there ever a father and son that played with eachother/at the same time?

Highly unlikely but not impossible.

Say, an 18 year old son and a ~38 year old dad.
 
What about Nathan Ablett, which Geelong played with Nathan Ablett, is only Steven King,

What about the other Ablett in Luke Ablett at Sydney, let go futher what about there cousins in the Tuck family

Michael Tuck and Gary Ablett Snr were brother in law, so the Tucks and the Abletts are cousins.
