Dud brother

[Lidge]

More often than not...a club will have a gun player on their list and they'll chase their younger siblings who too often turn out to be duds and waste a spot on the list.

What's the worst cases of 'dud brothers' at your club?

Here's a couple to kick things off..

Gun - Wayne Schimmelbush
Dud - Darryl Schimmelbush

Gun - Shane Crawford
Dud - Justin Crawford

Plenty of others out there...let's see who you've got

Was it just younger brothers? Sorry, didn't read the first post throughly.

They got drafted in the same year though... so Brad was the first drafted.

YOTR...very true, but clubs have a bad habit of chasing the younger ones, thinking they can get a clone of one the already have on the list. Very rarely will a club try and recruit an older bro of an existing player.

What about Scott Basset and Nathan Basset? Never seen Scott play, so, yeah ...
