Lots of sets of brothers have played in VFL/AFL history.  In many cases, one was labelled a star early on in his career, but in some cases the brother with the lesser reputation has gone on to be the better player.

 

Examples - I seem to recall that Nathan Ablett was originally rated higher than Gary.

Travis Tuck was far higher rated than Shane, but he has a lot of ground to make up (I know, injuries etc).

 

Sometimes they get it right - Travis was always going to be the best of the Clokes, and while David Kernahan was OK, I still rate his brother slightly higher.

 

So any other examples of where the lower-rated brother has turned out better?
