Former Docker Brady Grey was signed as the marquee player for West Coast's new standalone reserves side.
Fremantle career[]
Originally from Burnie, in Tasmania's north-west, Grey was a surprise selection by Fremantle in the 2013 national draft, having concentrated on soccer until his draft year.[1] Grey spent most of his first three seasons playing for Peel Thunder, debuting at the end of the 2015 season, but was delisted at the end of 2016 after playing just three AFL games. Re-rookied by the Dockers, he had his best season in 2017, playing 14 games as a small defensive forward. He was delisted again at the end of 2018 after managing just four games, for a total of 21.
West Coast career[]
Grey was signed by West Coast's reserves side as their 'marquee' player, ahead of the club's entry into the WAFL in 2019.[2] Named a vice-captain under inaugural skipper Fraser McInnes, Grey spent 2019 alternating between the midfield and a forward role.
With West Coast not fielding a reserves side in 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Grey transferred to Perth along with McInnes and Andrew Fisher, with the trio and Chris Masten playing a role in the Demons making their first finals appearance in more than two decades. He remained involved at West Coast, however, as an assistant coach with the AFLW side.
Grey shifted to Victoria for 2022, taking a position with Hawthorn as Indigenous Player Development Manager, while also suiting up for the Hawks' VFL reserves side Box Hill.
