Just listened to Gus on Sen1116, won’t be holding my breath on him re signing in the next couple of days

Seasons end if at all was my take on it

    Gus made it very clear that the position he would be playing in 2023 was a fundamental component of discussions he was involved in about his future.

    I'd stack Trengove's first 2 years up comparatively against Brayshaw's. 

    I am not however saying I would take him over Brayshaw, but was responding to a post basically saying Tenners was a dud.

    It is an interesting comparison though. Both started well, Angus had setbacks through concussion and looked close to finished at one stage. His comeback and development has been remarkable and a joy. Trenners first few years had him on track for something special, even if it would be solid and reliable special. Natural leadership and great work ethic. I saw him at Maroochydore one year in a moon boot and on a scooter still being involved in training, including doing push ups with the group. I rate Angus, but lament Trengove. Worse luck than the Greeks with Achilles tendion!

    I never said Trengove was a dud, just that his first two years are ridiculously overrated. He played in a terrible team and his poise stood out, but he wasn't a great ball winner (numbers wise) and he never had explosiveness to his play.

    Yes, he was very eager to ensure that he is fine playing a role in the backline and loves the group. But the subtext was text - his role will be a big part of his decision and this may lead to a midfield impasse; Oliver, Petracca, and Viney are frontliners and Sparrow and Harmes are part timers who are limited in other roles. I think someone is going to have to leave to make this work for people. 

    And it may be Gus…

    That is what a reporter said but I don't pay any attention to what those wankers say

    Alan Richardson literally said verbatim that we’ve given him until the end of the season

    You must have mis-heard.

    last night D11 posted that the deal was "...Official..."

    No he didn't...he posted that Jackson was gone.

    Another poster posted that a deal had been agreed and signed with Brayshaw.

    That doesn't look so good now.

    All of his language in that interview makes it sound like he is gone to me. What a disappointment.

    Yeah that interview was deflating. Talked about position on field being a factor in decision. He also used to language that suggested past tense when speaking about the club, implying mentally that he’s made the decision consciously or not to move on. 

    I definitely thought he was staying and Jackson was going. After hearing the interview today, talk about position and the subtle language change, it now seems like both are leaving. What a crap result that would be!

    if he does choose to leave as a free agent and picks the peptides  - 🤮 - we simply MUST match and force a trade to get their 2023 first round pick

    no way can we let gus walk and only get a pick in the 15-20 range

    Lol whoever said Gus was pretty much a done deal are kidding themselves after that interview.

    It's very CLEAR that playing more midfield is a high priority as part of his decision making.

    If that's the case then why do we continue to refuse to at least give him that opportunity. I'd much rather him in thr guys then Harmes or Sparrow.

    I don’t like the way he ultimately gives the club  an ultimatum. The selflessness that they talk about is an illusion.

    I think it has sucked the air out of the club and is evident on the field with lack of effort.

    What worries me about this interview is he really doesn't sound too confident in the team and if the ability to be hungry for long enough remains. It does certainly feel like the group is not in synch the way it was last year, but it has been evident in the games... wasn't a great listen tbh

    yes thanks.  My mistake , wrong contract and apols to D11.

    On SEN Gus didn't talk down the backline position thing, and loves playing with the group.

    Just taking his time. Still not a posiitive look for a re-signing.

    Still he was correct in his view that this hiatus hasn't affected his game which is true.

    I'm getting desperate now

    Put him in the middle, ffs

    I think after five concussions, the club is acting in Brayshaw's best interests. Better to be an interceptor than an extractor.  If Brayshaw goes he is displaying a basic lack of self-awareness.  I don't care anymore about these players 'going or staying'.

    Yeh what is this about? If you love the club and are loyal and enjoy playing footy in a successful team I don't understand the need to look elsewhere... One more concussion and the dude is toast anyway, idk but in the midfield you are more likely to get a knock to the head

    • 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.

      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?
