Arguably the most talented brothers (combined) in the last 20 years I would have thought, particularly Shaun. Joel Selwood a great player but none of his brothers were near the same level, same for Gary Ablett Junior (Nathan never really got going). Cornes brothers were good but the Burgoynes have them for talent/influence IMO.Port have had a few
Peter and Shaun Burgoyne
Jarrod and taj father son?Port have had a few
Chad and Kane Cornes
Peter and Shaun Burgoyne
Justin and Matthew Westhoff
Robbie and Sam Gray
Adam Thomson and Wade Thompson
Jarrod and Taj Schofield
Todd and Kyle Marshall
I love the Burgoyne brothers and Shaun had incredible longevity, but 4x AA and 4x B&F between the Cornes brothers vs 1x AA between the Burgoyne brothers... I'm giving it to the Cornes.Arguably the most talented brothers (combined) in the last 20 years I would have thought, particularly Shaun.

Nah they are actually brothers, the age difference is confusing but their parents had Jarrod when they were really young and Taj quite later on in lifeJarrod and taj father son?
wow a bit like the mckernans.Nah they are actually brothers, the age difference is confusing but their parents had Jarrod when they were really young and Taj quite later on in life
If we were picking sides and were told brothers need to be picked in pairs then I would immediately pax Leigh and Kelvin before even looking at the list. Not so much for Kelvin… still had picked the brothers even if Kelvin only played VAFA….Kelvin and Leigh Mathews,
leigh Mathews 330 games 900 goals, kelvin 150 and 160.
had fairly good careers
In this game in 1977 vs Fitzroy Kelvin kicked 8 and Leigh kicked 6.
Mathews family 14.4.88 defeated Fitzroy 12.14.86

Yeah the Cornes brothers every day for me over the Burgoynes. Those who watched that Port team in its prime would probably say Kane was the weaker link, but his list of personal accolades is incredible. And with Chad, while he probably didn't end up with the list of individual achievements that might be expected, my recollection is that there was a period where he was a fashionable pick as the best player in the league, similar to Brendon Goddard around 2009-10.I love the Burgoyne brothers and Shaun had incredible longevity, but 4x AA and 4x B&F between the Cornes brothers vs 1x AA between the Burgoyne brothers... I'm giving it to the Cornes.
I think people's opinions of them off the field lead them to forget just how damn good they were on the field. And that includes Port fans. Chad the more talented and greater peak, but Kane's consistency and workrate was outstanding.
Both remembered for making North chokeBarry and Aaron Hall
Similar to the Everitt brothers.Nah they are actually brothers, the age difference is confusing but their parents had Jarrod when they were really young and Taj quite later on in life

Others have better records but i reckon those two changed the game.Jarman brothers were very good.
Jimmy and Phil are talked about like no other.
Levi and Will Ashcroft for the future also the King brothers could push for the title by career end.
Matera brothers had a huge impact as well.
Pretty amazing records as well counting wafl and afl managing premierships leading goal kicking at north averaging close on the miraculous 20 and 2 multiple years was Jimmy. Phil coming very close as well. Claremont years they were averaging 2.5 goals a game and probably getting 20-30 most weeks as well. People of that era talk about them like they talk about Lillie.Others have better records but i reckon those two changed the game.
No current season stats available
The only Night Series game I went to was because of them. At VFL Park I think.Pretty amazing records as well counting wafl and afl managing premierships leading goal kicking at north averaging close on the miraculous 20 and 2 multiple years was Jimmy.

Oh what might have been
Nah, he's taking the piss...I think the Carr brothers were pretty good.
Scott brothers good as well.
wow a bit like the mckernans.
The way they looked for space with the ball and when they didn't have it changed the game imo. It influenced the idea of Pagan's Paddock and all the flooding etc that developed to counter that. Everyone does that now - look to move into or block up space.Pretty amazing records as well counting wafl and afl managing premierships leading goal kicking at north averaging close on the miraculous 20 and 2 multiple years was Jimmy.

Ahh I thought so.Nah, he's taking the piss...
AA means jack s**t.I love the Burgoyne brothers and Shaun had incredible longevity, but 4x AA and 4x B&F between the Cornes brothers vs 1x AA between the Burgoyne brothers... I'm giving it to the Cornes.
