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.

Fortunately for them I think a recycling company could help with brown paper bags. (again)

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.

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
