CHAD andKane Cornes are named on the same team sheet for Port Adelaide each week, buttheir joint selection in another side during September would create footballhistory.

The brothers have enjoyed brilliant teamand individual success this season and are poised to become the first siblingsnamed All-Australians in the same year.

The pair has already tasted All-Australiansuccess with Chadnamed at centre half-back in 2004 and Kane on the interchange a year later.

No one could be more proud of the duo, bothon and off the field, than father and South Australian football icon, GrahamCornes.

The former SANFL and VFL star said it wasimpossible to predict what was going through the All-Australian selectors’minds.

"It's an issue that's out of our handsand their [Chadand Kane’s] hands. If it happens it would be great, but you can't predict thosethings or play for those honours,” Cornes said.

“They're a result of the process and ifyou're good enough, you usually get the reward, but from my perspective itdoesn't make you any more or less proud of them because of that."

The younger of the two, Kane, is thecompetition’s leading possession winner ahead of Gary Ablett Jr, who is almosta full game or 22 touches behind.

Chadleads the AFL’s kick-count and is ranked sixth in the league for totaldisposals, but the brothers are much more than just “dream team” sensations.

Kane has re-established his position as oneof the best taggers in the country with brilliant shutdown roles on ballmagnets Sam Mitchell, Joel Corey and Brock McLean, to name a few.

Chad wasfull of praise for his younger brother following Kane’s sublime three-goal and38-possession performance against Hawthorn in round 20.

"The great thing with Kane is you givehim the job at the start of the week and you know the player he gets matchedagainst isn't going to have an influence on the game,” Chad said.

“He's the best stopper in the AFL and notonly that he kicked three goals and had 38 possessions. That's the best gameI've seen him play and he keeps getting better - I'm pretty sure he'll be All-Australianand that's a great effort from him.

Chad, aPower vice-captain, has continued to demonstrate his versatility with a shiftto the midfield.

The 27-year-old has single-handedly led hisside to victory on at least two occasions this year and at 192cm and 96kgprovides a difficult match-up for opposition coaches.

Watching on as the brothers share a laughat training, Chadand Kane couldn’t be more different.

Chad isthe confident showman and the perfect specimen of a footballer, while Kane,significantly smaller than his brother, is a tireless worker, rugged andmeticulous to the point of obsession.

Graham said his sons’ contrasting playingstyles and personalities were evident from a young age.

“They were typical boys and just developedat different stages,” he said.

“Kane was an elite footballer from primaryschool days, whereas Chadloved his footy but probably didn't really flourish until his last year at highschool."

The differences between the two extend totheir lives away from football.

Last September Kane’s wife, Lucy, gavebirth to the couple’s first son, Eddy Jack.

Eddy was born with two heart defects andwill require open-heart surgery when his heart is mature enough to handle thestress.

Chad is amusic-loving bachelor with significantly fewer responsibilities and the worldat his feet.

"Kane has completely differentpriorities in life,” Graham Cornes said.

“Kane's focused on everything and is prettymuch obsessed about everything he does and Chad can be a little bit more laid-back."

One trait Chad and Kane share is their sheerhatred of losing.

Father Graham was a fierce competitor inhis playing days, but said the boys had developed their own drive throughouttheir careers.

"They find their own sources ofmotivation and their own competitive spirit regardless of the influencesthey've had on them,” he said.

“I think it's more of a credit tothemselves than anybody else."
