Andrew Brayshaw


Andrew Brayshaw is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League.
After an impressive junior career for his school, Haileybury, TAC Cup side Sandringham Dragons and the Victorian Metropolitan representative side, he was the second overall draft pick in the 2017 AFL draft.
He made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the opening round of the 2018 AFL season after a series of impressive pre-season games. His debut season was cut short when, in Round 20, he was struck by West Coast Eagles player Andrew Gaff in an off-the-ball incident. Gaff was subsequently suspended for eight AFL matches, while Brayshaw suffered a fractured jaw and three dislodged teeth.
Brayshaw's older brothers, Angus and Hamish, also play in the AFL for Melbourne and West Coast Eagles respectively. His father, Mark Brayshaw, played for North Melbourne and his uncle, James, is a radio and television broadcaster and former cricketer.
