He's only 10 games into his career, but Gus could very well be the best first round pick we've drafted in years. Definitely deserved the nod this week. I already feel confident whenever he has the ball in hand.

EDIT: Just reached the personal milestone of 1000 posts. Cheers to all who put in the hard work that makes this website possible. Go Dees!

I said at the game today that I'm more comfortable when Brayshaw has it in his hands than any other player on our list. Even when he missed his second shot at goal he took an intercept mark which I think resulted in kick and goal to Fitzy.

He's a garn! Reminds me of Travis Boak.

Very confident he'll be a long term contributor to the MFC. Well done Gus!

Yeah I really liked this. Missed the shot but then gut run to make sure he impacted the next contest. With Brayshaw, Viney, Tyson, Petracca and Vandenberg plus cameos from Salem, Toumpas, Garlett I am very comfortable with where our midfield is headed. Obviously helped by Jones, Vince and Cross.

How good is it watching a decent number 10 running around. Ive been more impressed with angus in his first what 10 games than I have been with some players who we have had on our list for a few years.

I just love his tackling and ball use. Hope he is a 200+ gamer with us

He just looks a goer, doesn't seem to be any lack of confidence and backs himself every time. Even when he missed his goal he straight away took the contested mark to win the ball back and set up a goal for another player.

Those two goals he set up for Garlett were just poetry in motion.

Congrats Gus!

Gus is a gun, plays like an angry Cotchin.

Hope Roos gives him some time forward like Cotchin gets to rest him and let him snag a few

Agree with that comparison in terms of the way he moves and attacks, but he's a far better user of the football than Cotchin.

Awesome. Kid is a freaking gun... attacks the contest like Joel Selwood, moves like Pendlebury, tackles like Byron Pickett , kicks like Travis Johnstone, and sees the game like Fyfe

lol calm it down.

Yep, took the words out of my mouth, I love him with the ball in hands and feel comfortable when he is around the ball. Makes good decisions, attacks the ball, tackles hard, kicks beautifully to position. Imagine what he's going to be like with a few games under the belt.

Must get the rising star this week...

Its funny you mention His kicking. While i agree its a big positive in one of his draft videos his kicking seemed pretty poor at times.

He looks so calm and composed.

As soon as he was drafted, I predicted that this kid would Captain the club and that he would be our first 600 gamer.

Now that I've actually seen him play, I feel I was quite conservative in my initial assessment.

In short, he's just got it.

Those two kicks to set up Garlett were perfection... he is something to get very excited about.

I agree he was the excitement for me today.

The kid has played nine games and already looks better than about eight others I could mention today.

A small Ray of hope for our future.

The recruiters got this one correct.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
