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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
