maybe i'm just a romantic dreamer....

....but maybe gus is doing the club a favour by waiting for dogga to sign. if he signs gus may take a lower contract for the sake of another premiership tilt. if dogga doesn't sign then gus can go for what he wants/deserves

I'm only speculating, but if we just follow the money and how much might be available, it could be that Brayshaw's management (which is the same as Jackson's? Jason Dover?) knows that there might be more money in the kitty for Gus if Jackson departs

And what if the management knows what lies ahead?  (or, has a fair idea)

If Jackson does depart, we might be happy to receive draft picks only in return.  And as we know, draftees are on minimum salary's

I assume player managers don’t care much about anything other than their hip pocket - I’m sure they get a % of whatever deal is struck and if there is more in it for them to get their cattle to seperate ranches that’s probably what they will promote - these guys sharing the same parasite is not helpful

I didn’t know they had the same manager.

I don’t think Gus would leave for a few dollars more. That would not be his motivation, nor the advice from his father.

If Gus leaves and I don’t think he will, I would suspect a different reason.

Peeved with him, Clarry committed a year early. Gus is replaceable whereas Luke is irreplaceble in the short term although I have high hopes for Kalani White. in 3 years time.

Players managers are here to stay ... clubs just need how to work them (if that's possible)

I still remember Roos' comment not long after he arrived at the Demons.  Words to effect that the player managers were running the show (at the time)

Jason Dover (who manages Jackson & Brayshaw) is part of TLA Management who have quite a number of clients (including Goodwin, Yze & Garry Lyon I believe)  Stand corrected on that though

Correct.  He has a bunch of dees:

TLA’s stable of Dees included Angus Brayshaw, Ben Brown, Bayley Fritsch, Luke Jackson, Trent Rivers, Charlie Spargo, Tom Sparrow, Jack Viney, James Jordon, coach Simon Goodwin and assistant coach Adem Yze.

Let's just hope he's not doing a Ben Dover on us

Seriously, that’s ridiculous I love Jacko, but he’s replaceable we don’t have to go like for like, rejig and plan slightly and make the most with our trade

I'd be gutted to lose Angus. The odd thing is our good players walked when we were down the bottom, now we are going well and they still might leave. 

Our best irreplaceable players have re-signed.

and I  thought that players managers were retired priests.

I'll easily cop Jackson leaving to be honest, but I think Gus leaving would hurt deeply then ever. 

Not so much front an on field perspective but off field in terms of culture and setting the standards. Gus is one of our leaders who typify's that team first attitude. 

Please sign Gus....

It’s conditional. On the condition we win the flag I could cop both leaving. If we don’t I couldn’t stomach Brayshaw leaving. Would really set us back culturally.

Interesting they manage the coach and assistant coach.

Yep I'm in the Gus first camp as well. Gus's contribution, apart from his obvious leadership is that he has saved games many more times for us than what Jackson has won for us.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
