Just researching and it seems the Krackouers descended from an English/Polish convict,Thadeus?
Probably before your time,just.
The K brothers had a tough life before getting drafted,lost a couple of siblings one of which was your mate I assume.
They K bros were the best advertisement of the game at the time and I remember seeing them tear up The Swans at the SCG in the Barry Round era.
I was a young Sydney lad with little Vfl knowledge but I recognised them as a cut above .
Sad there weren't more of them to play at the highest level .
