MORE GRAND FINAL:
"I am probably not going to get too many more chances, so it is probably all on the line for me this weekend," Matthew said.
"I am probably not going to have too many more goes at it so we'll come out and give it our best."
Midfielder Matthew said he'd watched his two younger siblings become strong senior footballers.
"It's great to play with them and see them develop on the way through," he said.
"If anyone gets a chance to play with their brother they're obviously going to love it."
Midfielder Sam James, who has overcome a shoulder injury to regain his spot for the decider, said the family ties were "fantastic for the club".
"It's a bit of a brotherhood, on the ground we play together and stick up for each other," he said.
