Found his niche on a wing and got better and better as the season went on and put in some starring performances in the finals. His diving mark and goal in the third term of the grand final to put the team in front was inspired.

    Angus Brayshaw played the game of his life so determined and brave, no one was going to get between Gus and the premiership cup. Absolutely loved his effort and controlled aggression coupled with his raw team lifting emotion.💕❤️💙

    Loved seeing how humble he has been after the game.

    The way he crashed that pack with schache when the game was on the line just sums up his selfless attitude shown all year

    My boy! Loved him from the first moment he was yukking it up with Trac when they were drafted. 

    Was always going to be a gun, and had to reinvent himself because of our midfield riches, but boy did he do it so well.

    A very understated part of the team is our wingers club

    Up til this season, I doubted his commitment. I perceived him as someone trying to get by without the will to sacrifice to achieve team goals. No more. The podcast and his performances this season convinced me that he is a champ. Not that it needed nailing by that point, but his mark and goal in the Grannie drove it home.

    Full respect for Gus.

    Gus is another player who sacrificed his preferred playing position for the good of the team, and he was rewarded with a Premiership Medal. He had an excellent year as a key member of the inaugural ‘wingers club’, but often went without the external plaudits he deserved.  I doubt he gave a (expletive) about that!  Playing his role for the team is his mantra, and he did it to a tee!

    His role this year was super underrated by some, focusing purely on statistics and not the body of work he put in and how much of a sacrifice it was to shift into a role that was unfamiliar to him. What he did all year allowed Langdon to do his thing on the other side  

    His game in the Grand Final was huge, loved his passion when he scored his massive goal.

    Angus had a great finals series.  Who would have thought he would kick the goal to put us in front.

  • Quote

    I loved the how desperate he was during that 3rd quarter but his pass to Fritsch in the last was exquisite.

    The only time I think he made a mistake being unselfish trying to pass a ball on the run to Harmes in the 3rd quarter when the goal square was vacant and he could have kicked the goal easily but his diving mark and goal made up for the mistake.

  • Quote

    Angus Brayshaw is a "heart and soul" type player for the Melbourne Football Club. You cannot put a price on that type of player.

    His diving mark and goal in the 3rd quarter of the 2021 AFL Grand Final was a huge moment. Even Brisbane Lions legend and triple Premiership player Jonathan Brown applauded Angus' courage with that diving mark. It epitomised the desperation Angus had to do anything to win for the team and how selfless he has become as a player for the Demons.

    Angus also totally buys into the new "winning culture" of the Melbourne Football Club. Something that took many years to develop and it will now hopefully be entrenched with this crop of Melbourne players who have just won a Premiership and are super hungry for more sustained success.

    What I loved the most was the post Grand Final interview with Demons great Garry Lyon in the change rooms where he said "our club". That was brilliant. It brought a massive smile to my face when he said that! Angus is Melbourne through and through!

    The one player I credit most to our premiership. Big call, but there it is.

    He’s a good player. Plays his role as others have pointed out but he needs to value the footy more and work on those foot skills. People can point to his disposal % but when Gus misses, he misses big.

    Otherwise, he’s a great kid and important player.

    From his first game he became my favourite player. Just love his approach to the game. Plays on both sides of his body, runs all day, is a true club man, and is as courageous and tough as any we have ever had. And I agree with Chook above, his role in the GF win was pivotal. 

    Amazing that in pulling this Premiership together, the role of wingman has become celebrated again. Alves, Flower, Stretch, Tingay - and now Brayshaw and Langdon!

    Have to agree with you @Chook.

    No doubt Trac, Jacko and Fritsch helped in getting the ball rolling, but Gus was simply sublime even when the Doggies dominated the first half of the third. He also continually put his body on the line the entire game and just anted up in the next contest.

    Inspirational.

    You must be too young to remember Dixon, Adams, Keneally 👹

    I still dont understand how he marked that ball when he was practically standing next to the bloke who kicked it. Then he kicked it. I think he has kicked about four all year. Not bad when one of them puts you in front on grand final day. Put his body on the line all day.

    Didn't star like Langdon did but he has been a very reliable player all year and I know is very well liked by all in the club.

    Yep, just missed them. My mum was a massive Dees fans and used to talk of them endlessly.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
