In about 2012, a Collingwood supporter invited me as a guest to their Presidents lunch. I rejected.  To lie with dogs, you get fleas. Gus will not be seen with any feral cats!!

He won’t do it. Not saying he won’t leave, but if he does it won’t be to Geelong. 

Yeah no chance!

He looks so happy at the Dees - I can’t see him leaving

“Asked after Thursday night’s win over Brisbane — in which Brayshaw starred in with 29 disposals — whether he’d remain at the Demons next year, Brayshaw told CODE: “I bet you’d like to know. I’m conscious of not giving everyone the headline. But I love the club, I love my teammates. That’s something that will take care of itself.”

Geelong, Richmond, Collingwood.. why do they always seem to have deep pockets and cap space? Surely they run out of those if year in year out target key players (on top coin) from opposition teams.

Carlton is the club that I can’t work out…several top 10 picks plus the likes of Martin, Saad, Cerra and Hewitt on presumably big coin…

That made me laugh, aren't the Woods actually paying Treloar to play for the Dogs.

Don't worry the cats are now into De Goey....why is it that whatever comes out of Chris scotts mouth gives me the sh!ts....yep that's it, entitlement, an obscene level of entitlement

I got stopped by a Freo infiltrator on Thursday night at the G who said both Gus and Jackson would be playing for Freo next year. I told him I'm not sure about Dogga but Angus isn't going anywhere. He had no idea (well he was a Freo supporter) that Gus is Godfather to George Gawn. I can't see how Gus could  possibly explain to his Godson that he left the Demons.  I'm pretty sure Brayshaw's partner Danielle Frawley would have a bit to say as well.

 

I'd love to see a stint in the midfield for Gus at some point, but you have to admit he's taken his game in defence to another level. Doesn't panic and has saved quite a few certain goals for us in recent weeks. Big part of the intercept brigade now.

i wouldn't

gus as a half back >>> gus as a defensive wingman >>>>> gus as an inside mid


Gus will stay. He has his family here, danielle, the dees, george gawn, RMGC... so nothing to worry about. The only concern is for our list management strategy. Other teams show interest in RFA and increase their value knowing full well they won't switch. It drives up there price meaning we pay more than we had to. Can make it difficult to keep the whole team together. Just need to keep winning because the premiership window trumps all. Role players will sacrifice big coin for premierships and then move on to get paid at the end of their career with a good CV... Brandon Ellis did it going from Richmond to Gold Coast.

The Blues invented rorting in the 80's  being the John Elliott legacy and nicely handed over the batten to the club in 2000's via Judd's alledged  $200K Environmental ambassadorship with Visy.

Could be a clue.

There is fair argument to be made that Carltons twenty plus years in the wilderness is a direct result of thst cheating and the penalties they copped - in particular the draft related ones

Twenty years not long enough. 1995 needs to be reviewed and possibly stripped from them

All I can say is [censored] off Geelong.

Trying to be objective here - I wouldn't swap our list for theirs, nor home grounds, nor jumpers, nor coaches - when its all said and done they are a very unattractive proposition

It makes a nice change from all the years when the Trade and Draft Board would be open by now!!

I think Gus was keen to play more midfield minutes and assumed that had to be somewhere else - but then saw what Jack Viney delivered on Thursday night and thought ‘Actually, I don’t want to play against that. Sign me up!’

This bloke is a professional guesser. Think they both stay but has nothing to do with the above.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
