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

    As he's never been know as  'loose lips Josh' -  I'd imagine there would be an announcement in 48-72 hours as a best case scenario.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
