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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
