As Brayshaws has that sidewards glance just prior to impact he resembles a driver who's car has just broken down on the train tracks as The Bullet Train approaches at high speed.

THE FORM OF HIS LIFE

Jed made the trip west with the Kangaroos for Sunday's clash with Fremantle on the back of easily the best month of his football career.

He took until his 29th match across six seasons to win at least 20 disposals, but has now managed the feat five times in his past six outings and in four straight.



Shoulder operations three years apart – one which cost him basically the entire 2014 season – three separate hamstring injuries and pneumonia had already marred his career.

Anderson's major organs were "shutting down" in a Darwin hospital during the pneumonia scare and he lost significant weight, after he was wading in a nearby swamp while out hunting geese.

"It's so good to see him out on the park doing what he does best, which he could have done in previous years if he hadn't been so unfortunate with those injuries," Joe said.

"It probably (owes to) the Kangaroos as well for persisting with him, and he speaks highly of everyone at North Melbourne footy club.

"He's made good relationships with some of the senior players (and) him and Ben Cunnington are pretty much side by side all the time and Jed tries to absorb everything from him.

"They go fishing together on their off days and are spending a lot of time together … and you see the way Ben Cunnington goes about his footy."

If you watch him even when he’s not getting the pill he is always bodying players helps our team and makes them think twice. Great team player and super competitive I’m glad we got him was stoked when we first picked him up, then I was oh no we may have a bust with continuous injuries but now is essential for our team moving forward.

Wonder if Jed's just been given the role at this point to just go out there and rough up the opposition, he's been cranking that aspect of his game higher lately. Maybe a result of confidence?
And it adds uncertainty to opposition.

Kangaroos are tough animals, should embody that trait anyway.

Go in, go hard.
