Well done Gus.

 

i am one of his biggest critics on this site, i think, but i think the role he's been playing this year as defensive fold-back wing has been nothing short of excellent and it's a fantastic achievement to get to 100 games given the adversity he's battled thru with concussion and serious injury last year

now - as i say of any demon who gets to 100 games - breed up, boy! i expect many father-sons and -daughters, especially given his partner is the daughter of danny frawley

surely that should produce a gun or three for future generations!

Funny watching so many pre-helmet moments there, feels to me like he’s always worn it. It serves as a reminder to the concussion issues that looked at one point like they might derail his career completely. Great to see those issues behind him and that he’s been able to get some continuity in his game.

Great stuff Gus!


Geeze he’d be pumped to be sharing this milestone with Jones’ 300th.

Well done Gussy. Here’s to the next 100.

Love what he brings to the side and he’s a great clubman.

The podcast was funny this week where he coined the phrase Gunk 400th referring to the combined Gus and Chunk 400 games for the game tonight. It’s personalities like his that are the glue holding the club together.

Congrats on the milestone Gus.

Gus seems to have been forgotten in the Jones 300th & ANZAC Eve occasion.

 

Gee, those highlights remind you what a good goal kicking midfielder he is. Well done, Gussy. Loving the sacrifice you're making playing on a wing for us. The way he's been getting back defensively, but then getting into space on the outside to provide offensive drive has been really impressive.

Anyone else a regular watcher/listener of the Gus and Gawny podcast? Angus goes alright on that, and it's good to see him starting to really show great form again after a couple of years of uncertainty being pushed out of the midfield.


Big fan of Gus. Has been huge this year. Stats don’t always tell the story. 
gus has been working really hard

One of the players who is sacrificing for the team, and a big reason for our improvement.

Won't be a Brownlow winner playing his role, but puts team above self. That's been a rare commodity in modern Demons sides.

 

Well done on the 100 Angus.

Here's to 200 more. 

Would love to see him return to the centre square at some stage as I feel he plays his best footy as an attacking midfielder. Been fantastic on a wing though and shows his character that he is willing to sacrifice his game for the team. Looking forward to another 100+ games from Gus.

How time flies like Dusty clocking up 250. 

Given Gus’s concussion problems it is a mighty effort. 

Courage, fortitude and determination.

As weird as seeing clips of early Nate Jones with hair!!


Given the concussion issues he has overcome this is a mighty effort. Playing a real team role for the club this year. Delighted with how he is travelling

Well done Gus

Gus loving your new role and the way you are attacking the game, foot skills have improved out of sight combined with your tough tackling and courageous attack on the pill, its a pleasure to watch.

Here's to the next ? Gussy boy.

#Gunk 400?‍?

Another of the greatest improvement this year 

Well done..


Very happy lad singing the song, as they all were of course.

Well  done Gus.  Love your work.

Has been putting on some great spoils and taking really courageous marks dropping back into defense with the flight of the ball.

How about getting your brother to come play with us as well??!

 

I'm pretty sure Robbo failed to mention Gus' 100th at the top of the game. Is that right or did I miss it?

Gus is playing a very team oriented role, I think his favourite position is in the guts but he is really coming into his own as a winger now. He just seems to pop up everywhere and is doing a really good job in his new role. 

Well done on 100 games, Gus!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
