The 3 Brayshaws Thread

[Chelly 742]

Could there be three Brayshaws in the AFL soon?

[Constant Mongrel 571]

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

[Mach5 4,482]

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.

Getting a little bitEuropean Royal/ Appalachian at the MFC with the father/sons, bros.

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...

[spirit of norm smith 12,978]

Hamish Brayshaw is likely in the draft range 50+ or early rookie. I think MFC may grab him as a late draft punt.

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

Don't even know if he plays footy but we should still sign up Viney jnr!

 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

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

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.

Hamish has been picked as an emergency for the NAB all-stars GF day game.

[spirit of norm smith 12,978]

Hamish Brayshaw is likely to be drafted around 50+ draft range.

Hope MFC could grab with pick 62 as we currently have.

[Pates 9,537]

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.

[Dee-licious 1,830]

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.

[DubDee 20,753]

Assume they are from Scottish stock with those names??

Irish actually. To be Brayshaw, to be Brayshaw.

I'll see myself out.

[Adzman 2,085]

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.
