As far as I can ascertain the record for brothers in the one team, at least since the Second World War is as follows :
In 1974 West Torrens had 5 sets of brothers play league during the year but I don't know whether they all played in the one team. These 5 sets of brothers, were Fred and Brenton BIlls, Steve and Mark Pavlich, Murray and Alan Forbes, Greg and Scott White and Peter and Michael Cousins.
In 1970-71 North Adelaide had six sets of brothers on their list but no more than four sets played league together in the one seasons.
These sets of brothers were Barrie and Rodney Robran, Dennis and Neil Sachse, Maurie and Ken Francou, David and Michael Burns, Peter and Paul Schulz and Kevin and Jeff Barr.
As an aside their were a few handy sires amongst them with Josh Francou, Scott Burns, Jay Schulz and Matthew and Jonathan Robran all being quality AFL players after their respective fathers and uncles had played in a successful SANFL club of their time.
