Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Really can't work out where the "speculators" are coming from here.

What exactly would Brayshaw be moving for if he decided to leave?

Is he unhappy with his position in the side? If he is, is it about playing in the middle/on ball to get more kicks? Just can't see it myself. It's not as if he is fringe and is looking for a regular spot. He would be one of the top 10 picked and can play in just about every role except K.P.

If it's not money or family (and his folks live in Melb) what on earth could it be?

I reckon he will stay. Be interesting to see if Tim Lamb and co have done the sums correctly.

W.A go home factor: 1-1, thus far = Tingay stayed, Farmer went. I am putting down Big Bob Johnson and Hassa Mann as irrelevant, they didn't go home they just went.

We got Mitch Clark who was going home  to Freo until we 'stole' him from under their noses

Good interview on the "Dyl and Friends" Podcast,  Gus says he loves the club and the boys.  and that its nothing, always a beat up over contract talks.  he didn't commit to the Dees but says how much he loves it there.

Gus is my favorite player but he is never going to get the role he like at the Dees.  Trac and Oliver in the midfield over him and sadly when Salem comes back he loses the back line role he has been playing too.  so it wouldn't be crazy to think he may want better opportunity especially if it comes with $$$ as he is on a good contract atm and i can't see the Dees being able to go above that or even able to match it again.

Time will tell and hopefully he stays

 

Angus will play a key role on the ground wherever he plays. I really like his role in defence this year, it is as pivotal as a midfielder. 
i hope Gus realizes this. He is a core player

When Salem comes back, I still want Brayshaw playing in defence. Hunt can go. Hunt is much improved but Brayshaw is playing so well in defence.

I still have faint hopes that Hibberd can come in and be the small forward blanket which is what will be extra important against Brisbane who have the best small forwards in the league.

Hunt is now playing the small lockdown defender role and doing a great job, highlights being blanketing AA level Bolton and Higgins. On form and role, he’s locked in the 22. Rivers would be the one to make way for Salem on 2022 form.

Unless you were to play Salem in the middle or up the ground to improve our connection forward.

Tim Gossage (who knows the Brayshaws) reckons Brayshaw would like to live in WA where his brothers and grand parents live.

However his girlfriend is dead against a move.

😂 How the hell would he know?

But someone still has to be dropped from the 22?  Who goes out:  JJ, Sparrow?  Can't see it.

Salem in, Rivers the medi-sub.

Sounds like something you'd like to do once you're retired.

I think in the end it will be about family or staying with the club he loves. Doesn't strike me as a pure $ guy.

Makes sense to delay it to see if he can snag another flag. Maybe he'll hang in here with us with the lure of pulling off a trifecta then?

He was the rock in the grand final last year when we were challenged and his season has been fantastic this year. Makes sense to shut the noise out and sort it out at the end of the year.

Just love the bloke.

I still don’t understand the family comment, his Mum and Dad live in Melbourne and they also host lots of the Melbourne first and 2nd year players.   The family pull is not the reason he will leave.

True, im not saying i have the answer, all i am saying is it might not be as simple as we think.

There is no way to really tell unless you are on the inside and Salem like Brayshaw is open to a move/challenge.

Oh cool. I didn't realise. I thought they were out west.

Scrap my last comment. That's good news.

For what it’s worth, Tom Browne said today that he thinks the Jackson/Brayshaw deals are linked in the sense of if Melbourne pay Jackson, then it’ll drop the amount they can offer Brayshaw and he’ll then take that Freo money…but who knows…

A quick summary of the first 18 pages. 

Reasons stay

1. Chance of a Dees dynasty

2. happy wife / happy life. They’ll get married I’m sure but same rules apply for GF.

3. Golfing Mecca (RMGC, Peninsula etc). Only golfing tragics will understand why this places so high. I contemplated putting this at #2 but he is not married yet.

4. Family is here (albeit this could also go in the reasons to go)

5. Gets to play different roles (let’s face it in the common workplace doing the same thing week in / week out , is usually reason to go) - cheeky I know

6. in the leadership group. Future Captain after Max ? 
 

Reasons to Go

1. More $$$

2. Get to play inside mid. It’s never a guarantee. We all know what happened to Howe.

3. Get to play with bro.  Only if a deal with Freo can be reached. 

Not sure if I missed anything.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
