They are working him back into fitness in the AFL so they rate him and will stick with him as builds back.

    Fingers crossed that his last quarter gives him a little bit of a confidence boost. I still don't see him as a winger but he does seem to be getting gradually better at being in useful spots where teammates will actually send the ball his way.

    Brayshaw is kinda like the fifth Beatle just outside the fab 4 of Gawn Viney Oliver and Petracca.

    But he is very talented and I hope he finds his spot on the wing as I feel he still offers a lot.

    I’ve given up hope he will ever get back to the heights of 2018, but that’s fine, he still has a role to play. Hopefully he can build into some serious fitness and make that wing spot his own. He’s not my idea of a perfect wingman, but he’s the best option we’ve got.

    Time to win

    Exactly, I recall Footscray many years ago being stripped of its best players, Kelvin Templeton (capt), Garry Baker,  Alan Stoneham,, Laurie Sandilands (capt) Robbie McGhie, Bernie Quinlan to name a few. It ripped the guts out of the club and broke their supporters hearts.

    I would hate it if Melbourne was seen as a development  centre for the larger clubs and would lose interest.

    A few years ago we thought he’d be a real star.  Then the concussion concerns meant we are lucky to be seeing him on the paddock.  
     

    Brayshaw was very quiet v Saints.  Had 7 touches up to 3/4 time and then a better last quarter.  Played wing for most of the night.  Had three inside 50s in last quarter.  I’d keep him in as the team is performing.  

    Quiet early but important in the last

    What do people make of Bradshaw's game on the weekend and also throughout the year. There's been times where I've like Bradshaw's game, but then more times where he's looked a liability on the wing.

    I'm sure I'll get the whole he plays the sacrifice wing role etc etc. But if an opportunity came up where a club was willing to pay something enticing in the trade period then I'd jump at it personally. Having 6 disposals for the game out on the wing isn't positive form going into the finals.

    Was matched up on Seedsman throughout the game at times and was comprehensively beaten throughout the day. Seedsmam had 36 disposals and a staggering 749m gained.

    He has  football brain and thats not nothing.  Helps out in defence many times over the season and still one of our best in one-on-ones overhead..  A keeper IMO

    Had his role changed later in the game on Sunday so I reckon that's a sign he wasn't playing his role to Goody's requirements.

    If you're talking about the inside midfield role then he simply needs to be played there or not be in the side.

    Having him frozen out on the wing like he was on the weekend is simply not good enough from a guy of his calibre. 

    Really think he's dropped off significantly the past few weeks and it's getting to the point where I just feels he's adding not much to our side now.  Problem is we have no one to replace him with.

    Langdon matched up on Seedsman almost all day, and specifically in the first quarter. Both teams wanted to use the wing those 2 were on all game. Angus plays the defensive wing and does a lot of running purely for the team.

    He’s an important role player for the team. The stats don’t tell you the whole story.

    He’s been good the last couple of weeks. I’d have to watch it again but it seemed like the ball was always on the opposite wing. I’m not a big fan, I’d rather a more natural wingman. But I admire him trying to adapt for the sake of the team.

    That’s interesting because I just watched the replay and saw them line up against each other.

    I'm sure they did at some stage, but that doesn't mean "Langdon matched up on Seedsman almost all day,"

    Delidio and Ball were reviewing the game and said completely ignore the stat sheet. Brayshaw was good. Did what a defensive winger is supposed to do. That roll is the worst in the Game. Work your [censored] off for no reward. But the hardest position to play on the ground. He only moved into the centre at the end to give Oliver and Trac a rest.

    2 tackles and 12 pressure acts is pretty poor from a specialist 'defensive winger'.

    He had a poor game. Not the end of the world or his career, but find it strange people are working so hard to defend it.

    Not trying to defend, just adding to the conversation

    Heard that too. Maybe Luke Ball and De Lidio know more about football than internet warriors

    If your getting to all the right places as a defensive winger and your a quality player respected by the opposition. You probably won’t see much of the ball. Going back to the first doggy’s game, they didn’t show him respect and backed in their players over him. Didn’t work out well. Not trying to say he was brilliant on Sunday maybe just underrated.

    To be honest I thought that he was playing injured or copped a bad corky that he was trying to run out he lacked any zip and nearly got run down heading into the fwd line and had to handball to Max to avoid being tackled.!!!

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
