Seventeen-year-old Jay Hillary's father Ross played in the 1985 grand final win over Lavington.
He's the fifth Tiger in recent years, following Daniel Cross (father Peter), Jake Page (Glenn), Ben Kelly (Brian) and Fraser Duryea (Marc).

"It means a lot to follow in dad's footsteps, it will be a great day," Jay said.
Ross coached his son to two premierships with Yackandandah's under 17s in 2016-2017.
"I sometimes used Jay as an example to try and get a message through to someone else, we'd be driving home and he'd say, 'can you ease off on me a bit'," Ross said.
Jay had spent his junior career in the forward line, but was moved to defence in 2016.
"I just wanted to teach him there's more than just kicking goals and he really stepped up from that point on," Ross said.
It was an eye-opener for the youngster.
"I learnt about always being on your man, dad taught me all that in my first year in the thirds, but he also taught me to switch from defence mode to offence," he said.
Hillary switched back to attack the following year and blasted an incredible 175 goals, averaging nine per game.
"He's pretty versatile, he's obviously kicked a heap of goals as a junior, he played more midfield last year in the (Albury) thirds and he's playing down back with the Bushies (Murray Bushrangers)," Albury co-coach Tom McGrath said.
"We want him to enjoy the experience and it's probably the only time we will see him in the regular season due to his commitments with the Bushies.
"We want to know, come finals time, what he can do and hopefully we can use him if their (the Bushrangers) season finishes.
"He's our fifth debutant this year that can still play under 18s and we'd love to have Charlie Byrne in there if we get a chance, but he had a Rams under 17 commitment this weekend."
Hillary has been told he will play in the backline in the home game against the Pigeons.
"Tom said just do the same as what you do at the Bushies, high pressure and tackling," he said.
Albury will start favourties against the Pigeons and will move back into second spot with a win, although the forecast of wet weather should guarantee a physical clash between the league's biggest rivals of the past decade.
"A few of the clan will be there, Jay's uncle Josh will be at a 10-year premiership reunion," Ross said.
