How in the world did Angus Brayshaw miss out on an invite?

RECAP THE COUNT IN THE BLOG BELOW

The Melbourne midfielder stormed home late in the count to finish in third place behind winner Tom Mitchell and Collingwood’s Steele Sidebottom.

However, he was watching at home in a “Cotton On T-Shirt”.

Instead of Brayshaw, the Demons took a Brownlow contingent of Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Jake Melksham, Clayton Oliver, Jack Viney. However, Brayshaw outpolled them all, finishing the count on 21 votes.

Luckily, the man himself saw the funny side, posting this on his Instagram account.

His Melbourne teammates also enjoyed the moment.
