Fremantle star Andrew Brayshaw is engaged after he popped the question to his long-time partner Lizzie Stock.
The midfielder took to Instagram to reveal the happy news, captioning a post of the beaming pair: “We’re getting married!!!”
Stock proudly showed off the large diamond with the high school sweethearts, who both hail from Victoria, also popping some champagne to celebrate.

Unfortunately for Brayshaw, he was sporting a mean black eye and stitches after a nasty knock at pre-season training on Friday.
The Dockers couldn’t resist pointing it out, captioning a social media post: ”CONGRATS ANDY! First he got stitched, time to get hitched.”
Stock previously revealed to STM in 2022 that her family back in Victoria always loved her AFL beau, so much so that her two younger sisters gave her grief over how great he is.
“My sisters are like, ‘Do you realise how hard it is for us to get a boyfriend now because mum and dad love Andy so much?’ she said.
“They have always got on, he has such charisma (and) I just love the way he makes my sisters feel important.”
