Brady Hough Biography

West Coast is forced into a last-minute change ahead of the Western Derby when it became clear defender Brady Hough was at risk of breaching the permitted limits for an asthma medication.

The clash at Optus Stadium was held up momentarily pre-game when the Eagles' doctor recognised that Hough, who had been ill during the week with the flu and trained away from teammates, may have inadvertently gone over the game-day limit for Ventolin use.

Brady Hough makes his AFL debut for West Coast at Perth Stadium with 10 disposals (7 kicks and 3 handballs), 2 marks and 3 tackles in a 27-point loss to Gold Coast.

West Coast select Brady Hough with pick No.31 in the 2021 National Draft.

Draft Report: It's been a rapid rise for the dangerous, goalkicking midfielder, who has gone from country footballer to the draft combine and WAFL League footy in a year. After impressive form at Colts level, where the hard-running Hough's composure, foot skills and ability to hit the scoreboard caught the eye of many, he tallied 22 disposals, nine marks, seven intercepts and 114 ranking points in his senior debut, playing on wing. Hough finds space forward of centre and marks well on the lead, but he's also equally effective finding a target inside-50 himself ? versatility that should bode well at the next level.
