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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
