Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028

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.

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.

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…

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

Anyone know how to listen to this after the event? I missed it live and would love to hear it

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.

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!

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.

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.

Hope he stays

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'.

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

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

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
