Just listening to Angus's mum on ABC Grandstand. What a terrific person. Raised 4 boys, 3 to elite level sport and with them all out of the nest has taken in Luke J, Kossie and Trent Rivers into their home.

An inspiration.

All teams need good people to help out when youngsters are brought into a club.

Mother (and father?) Brayshaw certainly fit that bill. All of their boys seem like genuinely nice fellas, and that is a direct reflection on the parents.

It is a very good thing that they have opened their doors to our new generation of players. Thank you Brayshaws....

A huge thank you to Mrs Brayshaw from all Dees supporters. 

Must have shares in Weetbix, seriously can you imagine the grocery bill.

Gus often references his mum in interviews and it’s not hard to see why. If there were awards for raising kids she’d be front of the line.

It's true, footy brings out the best in mums.

I actually really love the fact he wears his helmet mainly for his mum. The studies done on wearing helmets show minimal (if any) assistance to persistent concussion issues, but he wears it because he knows his mum worries.

Banner worthy  I think. The brayshaws  have opened  up  their home to many Melbourne  recruits 

 Mark Brayshaw played for North Melbourne and Claremont  aprox  142 games in Total and Mark's father Ian Brayshaw was an all rounder playing cricket for WA and was an excellent player captained WA and played over 100 first class matches. however did not play for Australia.

Ian Brayshaw is father of Mark and James  who is a former State cricketer. A commentator for Afl footyball on radio and TV. 

Mark has 4 sons 3 play AFL footy and Angus Brayshaw is his son.  Now that is an elite sports family.

Debra Brayshaw has an  elite sports family in her life and bet she keeps them level headed.

I opened this thinking she had taken over from Gus to complete traditional 100/100s.

Raised four boys and now looking after three more footballers?  Australian of the Year!!

Thank you Debra and the Brayshaws plus all the other host families and player sponsors for the Dees.

A most underrated and valuable resource which must give much comfort to all Footballers families and faith in our Club.

Well done Dees !!
