The worst 400 game brother pairing.
Youre Good Robert Deniro GIF
 
Left field but..

Chris and James Gowans.

Both drafted to St Kilda, only James played seniors(4 games)
Both went to Central District and won 18 flags between them including 3 Jack Oatey medals for BOG in the SANFL GF.

And both played in 17 consecutive GF's
 
Left field choice but Don & John Nicholls from Carlton. Big John could be argued as Carltons finest ever and captained or captained coached 3 premierships. Don was a fine player who would have played far more than his 77 games bar from an ankle injury that probably didn't get the treatment that it would have these days. Don was recruited by Carlton after having won the league best and fairest in the Maryborough league as a 15 year old.

The story was that when Carlton went bush to sign Don Nicholls they were told they could sign him provided that they would also sign his "fat little brother" John. The rest , as they say is history.

The Scott brothers if coaching is involved have had close on the biggest impact on the game.

Gary Hocking is a legendary player at the Cats and his brother Steven played 199 games and off field has been huge for the Cats.

Hockings both were and still are under rated, one an A grade the other a B.

Norm and Len Smith were two titans. Norm reinvented the ruck rover position and won 5 or 6 flags, Len (possibly a better tactician) built the Richmond machine (tall wings etc) that Hafey drove to four flags.

Easily the best coaching bros IN VFL AFL history.
