Angus' mum just spoke to SEN, key takeaways:

Mum is going to GABBA to watch Angus and spend time with Will before he flies back to Afghanistan.

Angus to stay in Brisbane with family for mothers day 

Both parents and extended family are from Perth and born there, Perth is their second home

Mum thrilled that two brothers are playing in WA

Parents Left 3/4 time at MCG to go watch Angus at Etihad

Angus talks a lot when hes happy, has been happy last two weeks, sounded like he wasn't happy about not playing earlier in year (my opinion).

Mum is hoping his form continues and so to Melbourne's so we make finals

Nathan Burke has been mentoring Angus re helmet and concussion and had a family talk with his mum.

No mention of contract or future whereabouts.

    If it wasn't him, they would be making it up about someone else.

    Media makes the axe sharper when they get bad publicity, just as well they are dumphkoffs.

    If I'd had a billion concussions and was just now starting to play good footy, I'd put my contract discussions on hold too…even if I played for the Melbourne Footy Club (which we all know I'd never leave in a million years but don't tell them that just in case I'm drafted as a mature-age rookie or something).

    His career was at the crossroads post his concussions and his value probably at an all time low. By all reports he worked his arse off over the summer and didnt miss a single session. His form is in direct correlation to his efforts over many MANY months and he is re establishing himself as a potential A grader. He's right to be waiting to re sign atm.

     

     

    And I think he is rediscovering his game, as an attacking defender.

    I prefer him just outside the crunch's, and off the defensive side of mid section of the ground.

     

    I prefer him head up, looking for options to cut off, or to deliver to,,, rather than with head down around his ankles, looking for ground ball.

     

    He has been fantastic IMO, of the last few games, influencing our achievements.

    What player would be?

     

    Until it's a done deal it's not and then these days, it's still not completely binding if one of the parties looses faith or goes shopping, i.e. Jack Watts, Tom Boyd.  Right now he's with us and playing good footy and the team is starting to win and perform, so let's see where that takes us.

    ...many footballers like the romantics of being a one club player and I believe a reasonable level of genuineness in this assertion from most, but at the end of the day, I believe that almost all would be making their contract decisions on an dispassionate, pragmatic basis, so on its own, the stated notion of being a one club player is almost irrelevant.

    It ant rocket science (I'm just a poor old ex-garbo).  

    They (footballers) might talk up all this "one club player" stuff, but at the end of the day, they (probably at the urging of their managers) think with their head not their heart when deciding to accept a deal and stay or chase a better deal and leave.

    The main thing for most players is playing with their mates as long as they're being fairly rewarded.

    If they think the team is about to embark on something special, which they do, they won't leave (unless special circumstances, such as go home factor or a personal issue).

    Brayshaw won't be going anywhere.

    Jay Clark reporting that Brayshaw has been offered $700,000 across 4 years at North (that is Gaff sort of money!). 

    1. Brayshaw seems very committed to the Dees (and Clark says that he assumes Brayshaw will stay

    2. North dont have the pieces to offer us for Brayshaw (first round this and next year wont be enough unless they bomb out badly this year). 

    3. It is nice that teams want our players for big money (Hogan, Brayshaw). It makes me feel like we have good players.

    He didn’t actually say that North have made that offer, but that they should

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
