It's pretty standard at Fremantle to sign a player who is out of contract end of the following season up, announcing around Christmas like it's the Christmas present from the club.

It was Serong last year. https://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/1260171/serong-in-for-the-long-term

It's Andrew Brayshaw this year. (link to follow). It's the big gift under the metaphorical tree. You know it, I know it. You don't have to be Darth Vader feeling the presence to know it's Andrew Brayshaw with that bow wrapped around him.

Next season is looking pretty bare though. Rules are you have to have a year to go on your contract and extend in December to count. If Nathan O'Driscoll has a massive year, or Sam Sturt, perhaps Matthew Johnson - if one of them makes AA in 2025 then they will be the extension.

Him re-signing will be a little Xmas pressie for the Freo faithful and straight after the announcement he'll run the first of his hundred hundreds with the rest of the fella's.

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.
True. When players leave Freo it's never to St Kilda. Unless it's Brad Hill and Liam Henry who are both at St Kilda.
 
We wasted Pick 6 on his Dad, only played him in 32 games.

He is part of a pretty illustrious group: Josh Kelly, Andrew Brayshaw, Angus Brayshaw, Neck Blakey and Jack Buckley of the 'Shouldabeens', but weren't.

We can only hope he isn't joined by Aiden McCartney shortly.

Sigh.
