Angus Brayshaw signs contract extension till 2018

Featured Replies

 

Great news! An up and coming midfield gun already added to the likes of Hogan JKH who signed extensions.

Wasn't there a report a few weeks back we were locking away Jeremy Howe, and then they slip that little nugget in the last line of this article. Or is that common knowledge?

 

Strewth is this panic stations stuff? The kid has just started with us. I would wait to next year for these negotiations myself.

I have no problems at all if both Brayshaw and Petracca both sign extensions. Far from being panic stations it is a sign that the club is gaining some cred!

We signed up Viney two years before he came to the club...

That might be considered more premature than this.

 

Fantastic news.

Cant wait to see this kid play in the Red and Blue.

Good news, would be nice to see Petracca extend his for another year too.

Tom Boyd set a precedent last trade period so the longer we can lock our young stars away for, the better.


All first round picks should be 3 year deals with a club option for a 4th at least. It's fair reward for putting such faith in a player.

It takes a special kind of hubris to think you should leave a club before that time anyway and a special lack of talent for a first round pick to be out the door before then. Somehow we've managed both in the last 5 years.

There's no desire for Brayshaw to leave any time soon and these days a contract doesn't do much anyway. There's little chance (although I bet we'll try to find it in him) that he'll be so bad or so injured as to not show some form, he's already showing a bit at training. There's also a reality that he's got some filling out to do and some developing as well so why bet on yourself dominating before your time. All round it's a nice set of circumstances for both parties to show some goodwill. We get the asset locked in and the salary squared away for future planning, he gets some financial security.

The last person who I remember doing this was Toumpas

Been told we have another extension, they didn't say who but expect an announcement within 2 days

SEN mentioned some good breaking news to come out shortly, stay tuned.

Make senses to me.

If the club believes he is going to be good it is a much cheaper alternative locking him away for another two years now rather than waiting for 18 months of exposed form and then see his contract price increase significantly.

But then we don't know what the third year deal is nutbean

Wouldn't be surprised if its about Jeremy Howe putting off contract talks till the end of the year.

That's "good" news?

Didn't see the 'good' part..

My bad, carry on..

I don't really see this as a panic stations decision. I see it as both club and player committing to each other long term.

Good move from my point of view.

i am pretty sure we will see Christian Salem recommit to the club this week.

from what i was told it sounds like you might be spot on, Christian Petracca and Jimmy Toumpas are the other two who the club i'm sure will be moving to extend the contracts of if at all possible

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
