haven't seen much of hamish, but it'd be a good story if we somehow nabbed him in this year's draft

    It's like Pokemon as far as I'm concerned - gotta collect em all.

    Hamish is interesting because of the injury. Would like to draft him in the third round. Oozes leadership and loved around the club. Very professional with his training and generally good skills. Basically as good as Gus was when he was 17 and Gus took the big step the following year. I'd be taking him.

    Not in the same class as Gus.  Is slower and skills are not anywhere near Gus

    Not the be all and end all.

    Work ethic, character, resilience and teachability are the keys.

    WTF is this?

    Seven brides for seven brothers?

    We must expand the gene pool.

    I'd only draft them if they had 6 fingers on each hand or webbed toes. Bit like this guy:

    You'r thinking Habsburgs (or Hapsburgs, if you swing that way).

    There's a scale of 'relatedness' for assessing the viability of gene pools. Biologists use it in situations where a species is near extinction and a genetic viability issue comes up due to the bottlenecked populations.

    It goes from zero to 1. Where zero is a theoretical 'no relation' and one is 'all breeding pairs are immediate siblings.

    Applied to the geneology of European Royalty, the Habsburg's managed a score of 0.54, by the time they were forcibly disbanded.

    And were they crazy, malformed, disease-prone, imbecilic, weak-limbed, anaemic, chinless freaks?

    ...

    Ok, point taken. 

    Although there are an awful lot of high-performance sportswomen among the player's sisters at present...

     last time we collected a set of three brothers it worked out ok for us. 

    The Cordners RM?

    A couple of team of the century players

    Premiership Captain

    A couple of B & Fs in Premiership years I think 

    Think one brother played one year for one flag 

    One ended up being the Australian Consul to the US one a doctor in the army maybe

    Is there a Hall of Famer amongst them?

    6 or 7 flags between them by memory

    Yep, that worked out OK

  • Quote

    LOL.  I'd like to claim I was thinking of them, but sadly I was mistakenly thinking that Alex McDonald had played for Melbourne at some stage, making it the full set for them.  I don't know where I got that from.  :P

    Well if he's available where we rate him then go for it! If Gus is anything to go by then I'm sure he's got guts and heart.

    Hi All, 

    Andrew Brayshaw (Gus' little brother) is having a ripping start to the season in the TAC Cup averaging 25 disposals from his 3 games (and a heap of tackles). Hamish (the middle one) is back as a 19 year old and he seems to be starting a little slower. Anyone who has been watching the Dragons closely have any thoughts of the boys' games? 

    Thanks!

    No but given I wish that Angus was back in against freo but I guess this is what happens when the list has depth.

    Assume they are from Scottish stock with those names??

    Irish actually. To be Brayshaw, to be Brayshaw.

    I'll see myself out.

    Hamish might struggle to get on a list unless he can tear the house down. Was overlooked last season.Andrew is supposed to be as good as Gus and should get drafted.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
