Brayshaw brothers Hamish and Andy will step into a rivalry that is "as ferocious as it gets" after joining West Coast and Fremantle respectively at Friday night's NAB AFL Draft.

Andrew Brayshaw, who was in contention for the No.1 pick this week before landing at the Dockers at No.2, was a sure thing to find an AFL home on Friday night, joining older brother and Melbourne midfielder Angus at the top level. 

But Hamish had no guarantees after being overlooked last year and splitting his time between the Sandringham Dragons as an overage player and the Sandringham Zebras in the VFL in 2017.

When West Coast called out the tough midfielder's name at pick No.68, his mother Deborah and father Mark – a former Claremont and North Melbourne player – were overjoyed.

It will thrust the brothers immediately into the middle of the bitter West Australian rivalry between the Dockers and Eagles and leave the Brayshaws with three of their four sons in the AFL.  

"I am just blown away and I am so happy for Hamish in particular," Mark Brayshaw told AFL.com.au

"It is an extraordinary night for us. Both of us are from WA and it's just unreal to think they are both there … the rivalry over there is as ferocious as it gets.

"I watched Angus and Hamish play last year in the VFL and I felt like one of those chameleon lizards with an eye going each way.

"I can't imagine what I will be like if they're both playing in a Derby. It's another dimension."
