I think the thread title should be changed to 'Does Brayshaw play rounds 1 - 22?'

Or 'Hahaha St Kilda you stupid [censored], why didn't you pick Brayshaw?'

Some of his tackles were ferocious, and he just seemed to get himself in the mix constantly.

Really disappointing for Toumpas to be behind a first gamer at this point in his career, but I know who I'd prefer to get games into now.

He will have quiet games, but if he tackles like he did today regardless of how many kicks he gets, he is definitely best 22. He was better than I expected he would be.

His tackles were strong, he completely locked his man up multiple times. Also looked composed under pressure with clean disposal.

I got on him at $17.00 for Rising Star. Him or Hogan, I won't mind.

I won't gloat C&B, but I hope you were suitably impressed by Gus' game today and you are happy to be proven wrong. The kid was terrific.

I should have taken that deal though....

He played in a very similar way to the way he played last year. His game transfers well. I wrote some things about him on here before the draft and I believed he would do all those things at afl level. He will be a very good, if not great pure mid for us. He marks well, kicks well off both legs, is a tackling machine and is very brave. We will nurse him a bit through his first year.

Brayshaw probably hasn't had only 9 possessions in a game of footy in a long time, but his 9 tackles made up for his small number of possessions. I was suprised when he was taken off and replacing him with Toumpas when the game was still so contested didn't make sense to me although we needed the legs.

Didn't have to be Brayshaw, could've been one of the half forwards, but I was screaming for the Toump to come on. Mistakes or not a fresh player is invaluable. More than happy that Gus got 3/4's and Gold Coast sans O'Meara and with Ablett playing outside aren't the usual contested ball beasts but Swallow and Prestia are big lads these days. So are Rischitelli and Hallahan. When in at the contests Brayshaw held his own. And that mark and subsequent clever pass off to Watts (even if he missed the goal) was brilliant stuff from a skinny (but not slight) first gamer.

If that was his first game,imagine what he will do in an entire career? Absolutely loved his game and attitude today.

He is a bit lighter than the majority out there but he is super strong through the hips.

Nathan Jones robbed him of two possessions after he played on from frees Beayshaw earnt. Drop Jones.

What a difference it makes for kids coming into a team that plays well, do your thing, lay some tackles, get involved...

Usually it's get subbed on when we're getting smashed and chase a possession amongst the chaos, or get built up as the messiah and crumble under the pressure.

But he was clearly ready, I'd go as far as to say he was harder at it than all 22 Gold Coast players.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
