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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
