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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
