Brayshaws 44% disposal efficiency wasn't overly classy...and I say this as #1 ticket holder to the Gus fan club

Hey, hang on.. I thought I was the number one ticket holder of that prestigious establishment! I demand a duel at dawn!!

But like you, I could not give him votes for his game last night - his disposal was poor.

It looked to me like Max was putting his arms up to mark the ball but not really trying to grab it.As if he is tired of being thumped in the contest week in week out

It's pretty unlucky to not really have any frontline midfielders who are great kicks..  Brayshaw hasn't exactly raised the standard there, efficiency is probably his biggest weakness.

If our kicking skills in the middle were just a little better we would absolutely dominate teams.  Jealous of the Hawthorn and Brisbane midfields in their special eras, they were hard as nails but nearly all fantastic kicks too.

He was carrying a minor injury apparently.  There was some thought that he might have been a late out.  He seemed to mark ok once the game went on but his mobility was definitely not at its usual standard. Fortunately Jackson stepped up and played one of his better games for the year.

It does not matter ,getting it/making sure the other mob do not  is the first step, the rest is icing on the cake !!

Is there a league wide stat for the player who kicks the ball out on the full the most often?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
