Hi all, 

Has anyone heard why Brayshaw hasn't been training? Buried at the end of the MFC article about the Brayshaw Family's 100x100ms is the fact that Gus can't do them this year, and he's been MIA for a few weeks from the main group. 

The official line a few weeks ago was that he was sick, but surely there is something else to it.

I’ve heard on the Monday after the preliminary he took too many Brownlow votes. 

 

For all the improvements the club has made, I've got to say that this is still an issue for me (and other supporters). 

It's odd enough that there's been no word from the club regarding Gus given he's missed multiple weeks of full training. 

But what's even more baffling as big red pointed out is that the MFC publish a full article regarding Brayshaw's unique training program on Christmas day, only to end it by saying he won't be completing it this year with absolutely no word on why. 

Amazing that things go seemingly unnoticed by the MFC. 

[censored] me off to no end. 

An article on the famous 100 100’s run by the 4 Brayshaw boys, but Angus says ‘this year I will be watching on, unfortunately...’

Does anyone know what is going on with Angus that he would miss?  Is he carrying an injury, being load managed, or ???

I cant recall having surgery post season (but could be wrong).  

Would welcome any insight....

He must have some injury or issue they are trying to manage, such as back issue or osteitis pubis. He's been training on his own running laps for nearly a month now after he initially missed training due to being "sick". My concern is that the club hasn't said anything, not even a 'had a minor back complaint so managing his load pre-christmas'. 

Hopefully it's nothing too serious and doesn't impact his 2019 campaign. His 2018 showed how damaging he can be and how important he is to our midfield going forward.

Pisses me off to no end. 

Perhaps he doesn't want his personal medical history made public.  It amazes me that people just assume we should be informed of the players' situations all the time.

 

Having said that I'd love to know.  Viney, Hannan, Brayshaw etc etc.  Pity there wasn't a Dave Misson injury update before Christmas.

See the other thread opened recently about the same topic.

I just wonder why there is silence when all are very concerned about Gus - and we deserve the right to enquire. He is so important to the team and our game.

I don't have an issue with this but then don't do a club article that brings attention to it.

Word is it's a back complaint but nothing has been confirmed and he's been in the rehab group running laps for most of the preseason. 

Yeah.. he's back up in Sydney...   ? 

... testing the waters.

 

Is there any word that Sydknee want to off load Buddy.   and ease some cap space ?

100x100ms? Easy, I’m running them tomorrow, just warming up with some Coronas tonight.

In regards to Gus, if hasn’t started main training by mid Jan or so then we’d probably need to worry a tad. It feels so different starting preseason later than usual, hopefully it’s just a no risk approach leading into the Christmas break. Not a fan of the silence either.


I remember at training he said strained something. Not sure what he strained though.

Credibility.

Then we are back to complaining about the club not providing information again. 

There has been a marked improvement post season in the consistency and quality of both articles and multimedia. This was an article however that did nothing but highlight something not being answered (why is Gus not in full training).

I was talking to someone over Christmas who would know, they seemed to indicate there was a calf issue, but then again they didn't even know for certain...

I agree completely with everything already said around that we're not exactly entitled to know everything that's going on - but it definitely speaks to the manner in which MFC communicates these things

Preseason training/running.  It could be shin splints.   they might be de-loading him.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
