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

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...

The old Habsberg chin, hey. They never made good boxers.

 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

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
