Weโre back for Round 12 of Zero Hangerโs weekly โfive four useless statsโ series.
Every week Aaron Delaporte fromย Useless AFL Statsย will take a look at the most useless statistics from the weekend just gone, the absurd, the ridiculous and the more useless the better.
As we head into the bye period with a few less games Round 12 still provided us with some more weird yet captivating and ultimately Useless Stats.
3. Like Father like Son
Due to a big run of injuries at West Coast, Luke Edwards made what was perhaps a surprising debut being pick 52 at last season's AFL draft. The son of AFL great Tyson Edwards, who played 321 games with Adelaide, combined with his dad to become the 9th father and son pairing to have the same amount of disposals in their debut matches, with both picking up 15 touches.
However, there is one big difference for the Edwards. Tyson debuted in Round 11 1995 for the Crows, who had a 44-point win over Footscray, and Luke of course was part of the Eagles' gritty 22-point win over Carlton. They are the only father/son duo to record equal possessions in winning debuts as all eight other combinations had at least one of the father/son pair involved in a loss.
