Andrew Brayshaw
Andrew Brayshaw (born 8 November 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer and the co-vice-captain of the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Andrew was born in Adelaide, South Australia to parents Mark and Debra Brayshaw, as the youngest of four brothers. Brayshaw grew up in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. After an impressive junior career for his school, Haileybury, TAC Cup side Sandringham Dragons and the Victorian Metropolitan representative side, he was recruited by Fremantle with the second overall selection 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 played every game in 2020, averaging 20 disposals per game. He signed a four-year contract extension at the end of the season, tying him to Fremantle until 2025.
Brayshaw had a stand out game during Round 20 of the 2021 AFL season, in which he gathered a career-high 39 disposals during Fremantle's four-point win over Richmond.
In Round 21, 2021 he was found guilty of making unreasonable eye contact to Jarrod Berry of the Brisbane Lions and was given a one-game suspension. Brayshaw challenged the ban at the AFL tribunal but was unsuccessful in getting it downgraded.
Round one of the 2022 AFL season saw Brayshaw gather a career-high 40 disposals. The 2022 season would prove to be a break out season for Brayshaw, in which he played every game and won Fremantle's best and fairest award, the Doig Medal. Brayshaw also earnt his first All-Australian selection, named on the interchange bench of the 2022 All-Australian team. Brayshaw's career-best form throughout the season saw him as a front-runner for the Brownlow Medal, and arguably the best two-way midfielder in the competition. He finished the 2022 Brownlow Medal count, polling equal-fourth with 25 votes. Brayshaw also finished the season with the sixth most disposals in the league, collecting 640 across 22 games. Following the 2022 season, Brayshaw was named co-vice-captain of Fremantle alongside Caleb Serong.
Brayshaw was among Fremantle's best in Round 20 of the 2023 AFL season, during their 7-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park, collecting 28 disposals. He finished the year as runner-up in Fremantle's best and fairest award, as well as having played every game for the second consecutive season. Brayshaw was also second in the league for total disposals with 671 across 23 games, and finishing just four disposals shy of league leader and teammate Caleb Serong.
