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. 

Wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Andy have you got a new belt yet to add all those notches to?

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.

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.

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

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.

Freo are off their heads if they don't ask the question of Gus. kids a gun.

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

Anything to help keep the little man syndrome at bay ET

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
