I assume this thread will be finished over the off season when he signs. If he starts round 1 without an extension it could have legs but I doubt it.

I didn’t say he was leaving.
I’ve been told(and you only need to look on other club boards and in here to see it’s getting around) that multiple clubs think he’s gettable, and that all of Carlton, Saints and Cats at a minimum are going to put effort into him.

Yeah he is probably better than all our mids atm. (although Max Holmes might give him a run) Pretty good he can be both attacking and defensive.
He may go to st kilda
Saints would be throwing the kitchen sink at him but he seems pretty settled at Freo.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Can't see him leaving. Should've been picked as captain ahead of Pearce.

My source is, but we’ve got at least two other posters on our board who’ve heard the same thing via other channels.

I haven't seen any talk about Brayshaw looking to potentially leave the Dockers.
Has there been any actual 'chatter' or is it just coming from random BF posters with questionable track records?
If it's the former I think we can use that as the basis of the discussion.
If it's the latter, we don't need to amplify what 'ITK' posters have heard. They can do so themselves should they choose to.

If he does in fact want to return to Victoria he might, especially since we’ll be throwing pretty much a blank cheque at him, and he’s said to be a huge fan of Ross, who was the first to coach him at AFL level.He may go to st kilda
We also have ex-teammates of his at the club, in the very well-liked Brad Hill and Liam Henry, plus fellow 2017 draftees Hunter Clark and Paddy Dow, who he probably knows from back then.
Thirdly, he’s from out our side of town, having been to school at Hailebury and played for Sandy Dragons.
So we probably have a lot more chance of getting him (if he’s on the move) than most guys of his calibre.

I thought the same initially, but Pearce is a very very strong leader at the club.
Everything I’ve heard/read about him in the media seems to suggest that he’s on the verge of re-signing, so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t.
Fremantle has never been on a better track to a premiership in their history. Brayshaw could be their first premiership captain. They can pay him as well as any Vic club. Makes no logical sense to leave
This is the bloke who has had the whole playing group buy into "becoming an immortal"
"The first 22 Men to win a premiership for Fremantle, will be Immortals"
Will be signed up over Christmas

Fairly typical Victorian blindness to the footy landscape in suggesting teams like the Saints. If Brayshaw was to leave (and he won't) it's not going to be a small Melbourne club; it'd be one of the big 4 or the Cats if he likes the country.
Everytime someone suggests established A grade Victorian player X is going to leave one of the WA or SA teams for the Dogs or something; it's madness. It'd be like a young England star entering their prime leaving Aston Villa and returning to London where he grew up, but signing for Brentford instead of Arsenal or Spurs.

In your opinion…
Most of star players go to an MCG team or The Blues or Geelong.
Can you name a star who went to the Saints? Brad Hill then its daylight.
Players want to play in front of 50,000 than 15000-25000.
