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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
