The Dockers had an anxious wait after their 59-point humbling at the hands of the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium on Friday night.Brayshaw was involved in a contest with Tom Liberatore during the fourth quarter that resulted in the Bulldogs veteran suffering a concussion.

Former Essendon captain Jobe Watson agreed with the decision, describing the collision as a “football action”.
“And this is the terrible thing, Tom Liberatore loses his balance, loses his feet, and gets sandwiched by Michael Walters, and he gets concussed.Andrew Brayshaw is available for the Dockers' next match after being cleared by the MRO.Brayshaw will be free to play in the Dockers’ clash with the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba next Saturday in a key match for Justin Longmuir’s team.
