WA sports fans are no strangers to seeing a Brayshaw knock up a century.
In the footsteps of his grandfather Ian, an all-rounder who had three centuries of WA, Andrew Brayshaw will celebrate 100 games for Fremantle in Saturday’s semi final.
In the wake of Brayshaw being named the AFL Players Most Valuable Player, the country took notice of the 22-year-old’s work rate in attack and defence.
His efforts not just to win the ball but to win back the ball for his team are on show when looking at the numbers from his 99 games to date compared to all other Fremantle players.
It’s important to keep in mind Brayshaw played 17 games in 2020 with shortened quarters. This is equivalent to approximately 13 full length AFL games, meaning the numbers after 99 games are equivalent to 95 games for Brayshaw.
DISPOSALS
On offence, Brayshaw ranks fourth for disposals and with some good company, including two fellow MVP winners in Nat Fyfe and Lachie Neale.
