My favourite current player, great to see him back in. Not expecting too much from him after such a long break but at least he gives us outside run. He goes in very hard, but I love his outside play.

    Angus Brayshaw: Angus had 34 disposals, including 16 contested possessions, seven clearances, six inside 50s and five tackles. It was really pleasing to see Angus get back to his best, as it’s been well-documented that he’s had his challenges with concussion. To see him come and play, and invest himself in the game the way he did, was really exciting to see. He was the most dominant player on the ground for mine – he used his speed and was able to win two or three critical contests. He sent a big message on the weekend.

    This is the problem. He is a pure midfielder. In my (not so)humble opinion we play kids out of position who need to go in where they belong.

    it easier to get Nathan Jones or Bernie  Vince to play off a back flank.

    Brayshay plays the frenetic game style  Goodwin demands. Play Hin the midfield.

    The problem is that for the most part, even heavy set strong bodied kids don't have the mature, conditioned bodies to match it with battle hardened AFL midfields without burning them out.

    That said Angus is a few years into the system now and should be able to handle being amongst the action.  That is where we want and need him, as with the aging of Bernie our midfield is crying out for more grunt, thoughness and class, which Gus has in spades.

    This whole issue really does make me think that Paul Roos has it right when he suggests that the draft age should be lifted.

    Best of luck today Gus. Hope luck is on your side and you have a ripping game with no injury worries.

    Absolutely. Go you good Gus !!

    Has been great so far, especially after that knock, which as the commentators said (for those watching interstate like me), may have been the best thing to happen to him.

    Great first half by Gus. Strong marks, smooth running and fearless as ever.  He's a true footballer. Fingers crossed his luck has changed.

    By golly we've missed this chap.

    Go Gus go :)

    I'm a big rap for him on the HBF. 

    Was a really good user today and plays quite tall in taking a couple strong grabs.

    Happy to keep him there and maybe get Bernie back up the ground a bit to win a bit more pill.

    Man that head knock was a close call. If he came out on the wrong side of it, it may have been season over.

    What a great return game.  This kid went at pick 2 for a reason, and injury/health permitting will be a champ for us.

    Great return game. I was skeptical but now am sold.

    Great return, now to get some game time into him 

    Another 6 should do ;)

    Brilliant game. Brilliant. 

    Has a glide in his stride. Cool, calm decisions. 

    He's back. 

    Concussion is contagious apparently. 

  • Quote

    One of his best games for the club. Showed great courage standing under some high bombs. Gave good drive off half back as well. Great return to the side. Well done Gus!

    Great courage by the young man to keep contesting after a heavy head knock - Stevens unfortunately had concussion and a burst ear drum.

    Gus: “My mum’s here somewhere, so I’m sure she would’ve nearly had tears coming out after that,” he said on Fox Footy.  “It was a pretty solid hit. I’ve had a few of those and I feel fine, so I’ve got full confidence. I’ve done all the work.”

    A proud day for the Brayshaw family.  So rapt for him (and us).

    Gus is one of our best players and to day he showed why. Just brilliant.

    I had forgotten how good he was.

    I hadn't ;)

    Said to son before the game...as he asks about who to put in his fantasy sides etc....He asked ..Viney?  I said  nah...GUS !!  Just watch him straighten up the play.. He played further back than I thought he would today but a good way to bring him back into the fray.

    Had to be in the votes I reckon !! :)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
