Probably more money and get to play with his brother at Freo. 

I just don’t like it when these things drag on through the season and even though he is saying the right things, there ain’t no signature on paper yet. 

Time will tell. 

Riddle me this (with this non riddle)

What if

Angus takes off

But we have Gone and Got Gaff and whatever we get for Gus....

I’d rather retain Brayshaw and bring in Gaff.

It's not the be all and end all if he chases money and goes to Freo to play with his brother. At least he has built up some huge currency. Would have hated to offload him for cheap and then Gus showing what he's doing now over there and we got back peanuts.

Totally non Melbourne to build up his currency first before leaving

Maybe the tide has turned

Oops did I just say that out loud

I would like to keep Brayshaw and develop him as one of our own stars of the game.

Sure.

That goes without saying so I said it anyway playing devil's advocate/I'm being silly again.

It bears thinking about though.

(Why hasn't he signed yet)

Brayshaw won't leave. At the start of the year I thought he was trade bait, midway through the year I thought he was getting plenty of ball but being wasteful, rushed and turning it over badly. Now there's a level of composure and a familiar position to play in given he has regained confidence from his concussion issues.

He's gonna be a jet and a must keep for our flag tilts.

Probably look to move on with his midfield mate, Jack Viney.  ☺️

Its not the be all and end all. I agree. No player is the be all and end all. We have seen that with Danger leaving Adelaide and Buddy leaving Hawthorn. Brayshaw would be a massive loss for us though. Sure, he has built up his currency, but he is trending upwards at such a rate that it is reasonable to assume he improves next year as well. This kid can seriously play, but more than that, he is doing so off the back of re-adjusting the way he goes about attacking the football. Its pretty impressive. Viney had to do it. Brayshaw is doing it. Those type of guys you don't want to let go. If Brayshaw goes to Freo we would need to be looking at getting a player the quality of Cerra in the deal.

I believe that was an impression of Saty fawning over the other midfielders and commenting on their mod-like attributes.

Evaluating the worth of Brayshaw both from a dollar and trade viewpoint would be a challenge.

Interesting to see how it works out and where he fits in the relativity spreadsheet. Just hope North don't come in with a silly offer as they are prone to do.

Gus deserves the success he is presently having as I am sure we all agree.

Glad to see some sensible words about Tom Scully. In hindsight many of us over reacted.

Be surprised if went anywhere..

Be MORE surprised if Uncle Jimmy's travelling circus doesn't open the cheque book.

North are an embarrassment of rejection. They'll be keen.

just the alternate view, but why wouldn't his brothers want to come back and play with him???

They may want to but they’re currently contracted past this season where Angus isn’t. The media are just chasing a story. Angus to Fremantle currently makes a better story for them.

I was a little tounge in cheek - and also it was irrespective of contract situations... mostly little bro's follow the big dog in the house :)... or go the complete opposite way of course :) and yer bang on @Ethan Tremblay..whatever sells the papers.

Well, certainly a far better story than anything about Ross's Freo on field 'achievements' since their GF flop only a few years back!

Very sensible for Gus to play out the season and up his market value. Imagine if he signed a contract extension at the start of the year versus now. Would be a 200k pay gap...

Most likely juicing $ from his contract as much as he can before putting pen to paper if he continually proves his consistent form and ability, and rightly so.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
