Interesting to see if the Lions pick Brayshaw, whether they’ll pick up Lachie Fogarty still who is heavily linked as part of being best mates with Rayner. I think they still might go for him even without Rayner

I heard the club flew him out and made sure he was seen down near the HQ to try and force Carlton's hand at three.
I heard from QLDbeachbabe that we forcibly flew him out against his will and made him talk to our recruiters. I heard that he accidentally saw Ross then threw up from hatred.

Do players really care about playing with their mates? Do clubs REALLY base a draft pick on this? A brother, maybe, but a mate? Come on.

McCluggage &a Berry are two best mates who were extremely stoked to be picked up together.

For a club like Brisbane I have no doubt things like this are taken into account, especially when it concerns our high draft picks.

They've also both mentioned how good a time they're both having up here/how good it is to come up with ya best friend.

Other players also take note of how they're attached at the hip (even share underpants apparently). Berry ha signed on and I think the majority fully expect McCluggage to extend soon too.

The Brissy go home thing, yeah maybe, but every year there's stuff like (and I can only use North related examples, but I'm sure they apply to every club) how Bastinac was definitely going to GWS because he was mates with Scully, or Kelly would choose St Kilda because he was mates with Steele etc.

So yeah, in the extreme circumstance - Brissy - I'll grant it can play a role, but I doubt it has any impact otherwise.

McCluggage's face certainly didn't paint that picture on draft night.

Clubs aren't going to massively reach for a player just because he's mates with another player they plan on drafting...but it could be the decisive factor if they are weighing up between 2 or 3 players who they rate at roughly the same level...then go for the 'mate'.

I really hope the rumour regarding Brayshaw at 1 is true. I wouldn't mind him at North at all, but it would mean that one of LDU, Dow or Rayner will be available at 4 which would be excellent for us.
 
Geez does anyone else see Andrew McGrath when they watch and listen to young Brayshaw?
I think he may be the safest of all selections
