I truly hope this doesn’t transpire. 

Me too, but we live in a world where it happens all the time.  

If it does transpire, then we need to get as much out of them as possible and run.

But... I don't really think it will happen in the end.

    I reckon it has also grown legs. People can say all they want about Mahoney saying there's nothing to it, but when there smoke there's fire.

    Surely Langdon and their first round pick maybe?

    There is always a trade than comes out of the blue, and this could be it. I woudnt want Gus to go, but if he wants to go, then we hold the aces, we get maximum for him, pick 6 & Langdon or we dont talk.

    Apparently....Brayshaw’s old man might be in the running for the vacant CEO position at Freo.

    I guess if it happens, then Gus has driven it. Who knows what it is a reflection of, it’d all be conjecture.

    Is it about the FD/Goodwin?

    Is it about family?

    Is he mates with Hogan?

    We will get something quite tasty back for him if/when he leaves.

    FWIW I actually love this time of year now, the capacity for many bigger names to move has never been like it in the history before - it’s quite enjoyable. And players shouldn’t and quite rightly are not beholden to ‘loyalty’ like every other industry on earth.

    To be fair, there isn't a whole lot in it at this stage.  I guess if Mark does get the CEO job then, we his both his father and brother there, he might have more reason to go over there.  

    However, with Gus under a long term contract, you would expect the club to ask for something very significant to let him go.  We hold all the cards in this one.

    Absolutely - especially as Langdon can walk to the PSD. You'd be asking for a Top 10 pick.

    I'd be asking for that at a minimum.  With three years left on his deal they will need to give us some seriously good picks/players for us to let him go.

    Gus doesn't strike me as a 'mummy's boy' and follow his family.  I think the Brayshaw's are made of sterner stuff.

    And, his partner is Danny Frawley's daughter Danielle.  A good reason to stay in Melbourne.

    I just want to see some year to year stability in the Demonland banner for once.

    The media really [censored] me with their drawing conclusions from absolutely anything.

    It's again a definite NO as far as I am concerned. Watched the Geelong final last night and he was outstanding - both inside and outside the contest.

    Seems odd for Freo to be coy to the media, and then say to Melbourne there is no interest behind closed doors.

    Cerra and Freo's future first rounder for Gus? Too high? Unreasonable? Gus has certainly shown a lot more than Cerra.

    This seems like a media beat up, but we need better ball users in our midfield mix. If we're not trading Viney, I'd look at Gus.

    It could be Bell playing funny buggers again, but you're probably right, implying that it's unlikely.

    Maybe I am a nerd, but I see language as important.

    Freo have no interest in the prising of him out, however Gus/his management may have approached them...

    Football is politics these days. Especially at this time of year, but you're probably right.

    If Brayshaw goes to Fremantle Peter Bell might get that feather in his cap that he keeps banging on about.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
