CARLTON 1864 - 1896
It is difficult to know how many games a player actually played, as only the surname is mostly used in the reports.
Also, when many games are played against odds, are these to be counted?
For this list, Blueseum has mostly relied information contained in Vol 5 Origins of Australian Football.
There are other brother combinations, but one of them may have only played Second Twenty, further info is required.
