You'd think Gussy would have a higher ceiling than Jones. Let's hope lives up to it.

Gotta love these two. I have a feeling that Chuck taking Gus under his wing will actually benefit both players massively.

Little Sticks understands footy is a contact sport and knows how to use his body. What's not to like.

Great photos 666  

Fascinating comparing the bodies of Gus and Chunk with the stick insect 'saviors' shown in the current Jack grimes thread.  The club has come a long way.

Six6Six - bloody fabulous effort in documenting what happens at training - then uploading it .Really grateful for it.

Gus seems to have beefed up a bit which is good to see. 

Good work 666.

Majority of players look really lean and strong. Chunk looks a little leaner but the likes of Brayshaw are our future and if they can maintain the rage over a career things look so positive.

ps thanks to 3, 6 for the continued great pics.

Smartest young Melbourne footballer I have seen for some time. Just needs to protect his head. All going well he is going to be one of our great players.

I know what you mean, but are these two sentences counter-intuitive? Oxymorons? Logical fallacies? Whatever the right term, they do seem a bit contradictory.

Perhaps if he gets more concussions he will get less smart and therefore get less concussions

Incorrectly spetl smart. Which is ironic.

Fantastic stuff thx 666

Brayshaw looks in ripping nick

I love that Jones has taken him under his wing.

A good club has the players driving their own improvement, the coaches driving the players to improve but importantly, the players driving each other to improve. I don't think that Gus could learn from anyone better how to prepare for the game and how to eek the most of the talent you are given.

(I sit in the camp that Jones does not have elite talent. What Jones does have is the ability to consistently play to the maximum that his talent allows him. That is far more important than raw talent as we have seen over too many years that there is huge difference between having lashings of talent and being able to bring that talent to the table consistently)

So true.

Nathan gets everything he can out of what he has.  

I admired the more limited Jordie McKenzie for exactly the same reason.  Far more than some more naturally talented players who at least appeared not to give their all every time - Col springs to mind here.  

Gus has plenty of natural talent and I have little doubt he will have the application to be a star.
