This guy is out of contract at the end of the season. If we’re looking to go after a FA, why not someone like this guy, instead of that complete numpty DeGoey?!?!

I guess the thing is people complain we draft HBFs, hoping they become mids. Angus was drafted as a mid and has become a HBF.

I would definitely prefer him to De Goey. He is a real quiet achiever and turns up every week. Throw the big bucks at him Saints.

NB: Melbourne tagged Neale last night = 22 disposals. Ratten let him run around without an opponent = 37 disposals. Sometimes I believe he is dumbest coach in the competition!

Brayshaw moved to half back only because Salem was out for so long. Before that he played wing.

Gus has been squeezed out because they have 2 of the best footballers in the whole league who start in the middle. Brayshaw could probably play the roles that Oliver and Petracca play, but the Melbourne team currently has a good mix and they’ve found roles for all their talent.

Brayshaw is a better all round footballer than Viney and Harmes and others who line up at stoppages but Brayshaw had concussion issues and he was forced to come back in as a winger. I shouldn’t say ‘forced’. It was a decision that was in the best interests of the individual and it was a good benefit for the team

Viney worked hard to find his niche back in their squad. Viney was dropped and had to work on his decision making and his disposal. Viney is a damn good ball hunter but he cannot play at half back like Brayshaw can.

Brayshaw proved he is versatile and can adapt. Would he relish moving back to a pure midfielder type role? Why don’t we put it to him and offer him a contract and find out :wink:

Unrealistic attempt. Wont leave Melbourne unless flicked or punched in public by Steven May and then it would be to go to Freo.

I agree: there's no chance of him coming and he's not the type of player we need anyway. de Goey is exactly the type of player we need (on the field). I'm sure the club is focusing on getting him. He will potentially give us what Petracca would have given us if we hadn't been so stupid.

I’m guessing he won’t leave Melbourne, but I was just throwing his name out there as an example of someone we should be targeting instead of that moron at Collingwood!

He leaves for $$$ and the promise to play through the midfield. Plus he is far better than a GOP, his stats are comparable to Sinclairs this year, it just his efforts just get over shadowed by Melbournes ridiculous midfield.

So instead of getting a real Petracca but a bit of d**khead, we would end up with a poor imitation Petracca and real d**khead.

There is an article in todays Fox Sports indicating Geelong are strongly interested in Brayshaw. If he is gettable, I hope the Saints are holding discussions with his management also? He is without doubt the best value Free Agent on the market, highlighted by Geelongs interest.

Seeing Geelong flirt with him made my stomach turn. Fortunately, there’s no Geelong Falcons connection, so we could be in the hunt if I our recruiting has any interest.

Really, why would ANYONE want to come to St Kilda right now? It's looking like zombieland of Richo's final years.
