this one seems a bit different as one was playing A grade and one was playing B grade.

Darryl Pearce won at least one A grade medal in the Hills, and brother Kim won numerous B Grade medals with Kersbrook, but not sure whether they ever won in the same year or at the same club.

Peter Kleinig won the BLG in 73 I think & his brother John won a couple of years later in RMFL. Both A Grade.

Yeah Darryl won the A grade in Div 2 Hills and Kym the B grade in the same year (1989 or 90?). Now Kym's lad Brad has won back to back medals in Hills Country.

The Davey brothers (one was nicknamed Gunny, and was the father of AFL players Aaron and Alwyn) were both champion country footballers in the 60's and 70's and i think both won Mail Medals over on the Eyre Peninsula.

Sorry to fire up this old post again but when I stumbled across it and saw there was no mention of Peter Kitschke and his brother (John?) I thought it was worth paying homage! Peter won 7 medals at Jamestown and his brother won 5 or 6 also. (Peter was the bloke once generally agreed on in a post on this forum as the best country footballer never to have played league footy.)
Fair effort hey? I think there was a 3rd brother that played mainly B grade.
Either John (?) or the other brother is the father of Damian Kitschke ex Surt / St Kilda.
