Is Brayshaw more rounded than the Trac?

It’s like comparing Hogan and TMac.

Both have different strenghts, but compliment each other.

    Sunday's game was the start only for Brayshaw. I didn't like his pre season games and at the time wondered if he would live up to early expectations. Unlike Oliver and Viney, Brayshaw, Salem and Petracca have only shown fleeting glimpses of their talent.

    Reminiscent of the Steve Waugh vs Mark Waugh debate - one of them you want to watch for the rest of your life whilst the other is (or will hopefully be) the one you want to bat for your life.

    I was pleased/impressed that from the start of Sunday's game, Angus stood Jack Steven - the only possible candidate for an 'A Grade' midfielder at the Saints

    To think that the Brayshaw thread three weeks ago was screaming for him to be traded at fire-sale prices...

    We're a fickle bunch.

    I believe trac will soon go to another level. Needs  improve his goal kicking.

    What is the purpose of this thread? We have two of the best prospective genuine A-grade stars of the game and posters are splitting hairs about kicking ability, tank. Their respective abilities complement each other and the team.

    It's unseemly and demeaning for our boys and the club. Posters on this thread should show some respect, be grateful for our good fortune and do all to laud both Gus and Tracc.

    Beelzebub got it right. They're different. Happy to have both. +20 from me.

    Dead right as Beezle suggested: Happy to have both, don't want to lose one of the two. Different skills, different games to play.

    All sentiments based upon fickle performances at the team level.

    Hopefully one becomes another Danger and the other becomes a Judd.

    Hopefully one becomes Brayshaw and one becomes Petracca. Who needs more.

    Leave them alone.

    Might not have both at seasons end... gotta re sign yet and Superfooty is saying he will wait and see before committing.

    Petracca will be a better player once he has his dogs shot in a paddock somewhere.

     Brayshaw not signing a contract, which is being reported on the herald sun website. 

    I have heard he is looking around.

    Yes before he was bitten by his dog he had career high disposal count, what difference 2 week make.

    I have been told this from someone I know.  Vague answer I know but may not be as straight forward as we were all expecting. 

    Strange he’d be looking as club has handled him well through concussion issues and now he’s finding form and gelling with max in the middle. Unless there’s more to it, but I don’t think I believe it. Other clubs may be interested in him but not the other way imo, but I don’t know

    North will be all over Brayshaw like a rash.

    They have a lot of room in their  cap and a first round pick on offer.

    They could offer him 650k plus and we would have to match it.

    I’m with you, I can’t understand why he would want to leave. 

    The only thing I can think of was him not playing early on in the season and Money

    He's trying to increase the $$ in his next contract. Understandable, given his asking price would be pretty low at the moment.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
