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. 

 

As it sits right now I'd prefer to keep Gus than Jackson. 

That could change next week but this week its that.

....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

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. 

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.

Just read in the age that Essendon have had talks with Brayshaw and are going to try and lure him. I am now going to be violently ill.


Wonder who the journalist is.

 

Last line in the article states there is little likelihood we would lose both Jackson and Brayshaw. Not sure how they came to that conclusion.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
