What does this even mean?

Both no doubt were being reassured by HQ that the status quo of umpire love will be maintained.

    Am I missing something here? Everyone assumes that if he leaves it will only be to Freo to join his brother. I accept that he's not going to go to West Coast, but the market is not restricted to Fremantle. Accepting that, these Melbourne family vs Perth family vs where his girlfriend wants to live arguments are very simplistic.

    Why are we talking about losing any players at all.

    And what do you know that HQ or others maybe privy to ?

    I suggest we all let nature take it's course and hope and pray that sanity prevails and the Team stays united as one.

    Next thing I probably will read is all MFC players are moving to other Clubs and that Casey players are our number one Team... (Well if that happens we will still win the Premiership anyways ) . Come on guys let's support and encourage our playing group in the belief that they will be united as one.

    You’re right. We should not be discussing matters relating to the footy club on a footy forum. Andy, shut her down. Nasher, turn the servers off and let the gerbils that run them, run free.

    Because if you haven't noticed old timer this is a football forum related to all football discussions.

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but not playing in the midfield, and playing with Melbourne where there is more support on the ground (less heavy lifting) would likely extend his career by a few years!!!!! Particularly with his concussion issues.  This also reduces financial differences over the entirety of his football career.

    Also playing with your brother can be a negative as well. Not all siblings are best friends, or buddy buddy; and even when they do get on well - don't necessarily like sharing the same close friendship groups.

    All the Brayshaw siblings are extremely close. 

    This has been well publicised and confirmed by Angus in the past.

    Why the pejorative comment?  As someone who is “older” I find that quite offensive.

    I just can't see Gus leaving. I listened to the Dyl & Friends podcast the other day and Angus was explaining that Danielle and her Mum and her sisters have been focusing a lot of their time and efforts into the Danny Frawley centre. Gus has most of his family here and same with Danielle so for Gus to move to WA just to be with his brothers doesn't make much sense to me.

    Andrew Brayshaw comes out of contract in 2025 as a restricted free agent. Viney will be 31 and out of contract while Gawn and Levers deal will have expired creating even more salary space. No reason we can't flip the narrative on this story in the coming years and have a Brayshaw reunion at the dees.

    It’s also well known that his partner is dead against a move west.

    Well, if he leaves as a 2-time premiership player at the end of this year, as much as it’d hurt, he’d have my blessing

    From what I’ve heard he will sign and there’s a little bit of “I like the speculation” about the hold off…

    Any week now and I think a decision will be made by both Jackson and Brayshaw. I think maybe during our bye.

    OUT-OF-CONTRACT Melbourne star Angus Brayshaw is yet to put a timeline on when he will begin contract negotiations.

    The 26-year-old is a restricted free agent, and has connections in the west, with brother Andrew playing for Fremantle.

    He told AFL.com.au his recent move to defence has been his sole focus through the Demons' 10-0 start to the year but that he knew a crunch time was fast approaching. 

    "I could roll out any sort of cliché, you could take your pick. With that stuff, round one I got thrown into the backline, having prepared for the wing all pre-season. Very, very quickly, my focus has shifted from everything that surrounds football to how to play and execute this role," Brayshaw said.

    "There are super high standards, we pride ourselves on our defence back there, so if I'm thinking about something else or not 100 per cent focused, you get found out pretty quickly. And that stuff just takes care of itself if you focus on your footy. 

    "I understand this is a reality and these things will probably start popping up soon, when I need to sit down and sort it out, but I'm in a good position, I think, off the back of 10 solid weeks of footy. 

    "I'll sit down – I don't know when that'll be – but I'll figure that out when it comes. I'm looking forward to getting it out of the way, because that's seems to be all anyone wants to know these days. What will be, will be."

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/05/25/star-dee-likely-to-stay-the-team-to-watch-in-the-trade-period-and-more/

    Leading AFL journalist Callum Twomey has provided an update on a number of curious trade and contract situations around the league.

    Melbourne star Angus Brayshaw, North Melbourne forward Cam Zurhaar, Gold Coast’s strong draft hand and more all analysed.

    See his update below:

    Angus Brayshaw (Melbourne)

    “He’s put off talks for the first half of the year, but obviously been really good for the Dees in that role across half-back,” Twomey told SEN Breakfast.

    “He’s looking forward to getting it out of the way, because that’s all anyone wants to talk about. I think that’s a pretty good sign in what lies ahead for him at the Demons.

    “Still no timeline, but I think there’s a strong likelihood that he’ll be at the Dees next year. He’s a restricted free agent, but Melbourne has its bye in Round 14 … I’d expect some movement by then.”

    Look obviously I want him to stay but if he does choose to leave & plays in Perth with his brother then I'll understand, but if he leaves & plays for another Victorian club then I'll be shattered

    As someone who is old AF, I object to the word  ' old ' 

    Can we replace it with the words ' more experienced ' ?? 

    Thank you !!!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
