LOL my teenage son’s been nagging me for ages to buy him a new guitar. As recently as last night I told him to quit nagging as it’s gonna be a while.  I just messaged him to come straight home from

Stupid contract.    We’ll be paying him to podcast or play for someone else way before it’s done. One paced, can’t kick, can’t man up. What are we thinking? A panic move by the club b

Great news but kinda weird comments from him on SEN the other day in hindsight!

Only if you read into his comments. The text was there - it’s a big decision, he will make it when he wants to, he has his own desires for his future.

Evidently, he wants to play for the Melbourne footy club and with some pretty good players for the rest of his career.

Some people are never happy, are they?

Onya Gus.  May you play in many more premierships with the mighty we now have

We now have 3 players on 6+ year deals.

As I said in my comment. the part you cut out.

I love Gus so im happy,  and hopefully it's front loaded to balance out with Trac and Oliver's contract.

Can someone explain to me what the hesitation is for signing players on 5+ year contracts?

We now have multiple Trac, Oliver and now AG but what is the problem, salary cap space in the future injury costing one player a season or two? Isn't signing longer deals allowing Melbourne to lower the amount they pay the players?

Love it, love it, love it

so impressed that the club has been able to resign a great core of players in long term deals…it really does set us up for the future

well done Gus - love that he’s committed to the Dees ♥️💙

Gus stays.

(Saw it in a dream, he was holding the cup at the G with three fingers in the air - premiership #3, of course)

Either way, my guys - we good.

Called it. I hardly ever remember my dreams, so when I do - they're bang on!

Now to the second part of the dream. Gus was there, so we have 2 more flags by 2028!

Hopefully (and most likely) well before 2028, of course.

Stephen Coniglio would be the cause for pause.

They are no brainers for me because you avoid a bidding war in the future and we basically can assure recruits and coaches that you have this talent for the decade so why wouldn’t you want to be here.

Injuries are brought up as a reason not to do this but they happen, it’s not like we wouldn’t keep a 30 year old Oliver if he did his knee (touch wood).

6 years is too long IMO,  hope they have front loaded it.

But Gus is my Fav,  so I'm also happy

Agree wholeheartedly. I love what he brings to the team so I’m happy that he is staying. I was also concerned about the negative impact if he had taken up another offer. Jackson returning to Perth is understandable and can be explained away.

My only concern is that long term deals have a financial risk particularly with a group of players on long contracts. And Gus does have a concussion history. That’s a risk but the club has no doubt taken all that into account.

Didn't break the news on the podcast. Pathetic.

In all seriousness this is a great signing. Gus is a key cog in our successful culture and leadership. Versatile and good player onfield for sure, but this was a big cultural signing to keep the core together. Go Dees!

Absolutely fantastic news!

The only tiny downside is that both Angus and Clarrie's contract extensions were announced before away games.  As @The heart beats truesays, it would have been great to cheer their every touch in a home game immediately following the announcement.

I find it difficult to think the Brayshaw that gave this interview with Garry Lyon after the Grand Final is holding out for money or looking elsewhere to play midfield minutes (particularly at 2mins in).

It's our club Gus.

Gonzo we can watch this to our heart's content today with a smile!

It’s ironic, those who read into his interview with Garry and Tim, he was leaving for midfield time heard what they wanted to hear.

 I said at the time I wasn’t worried by the interview, he was open and honest. Stated in the interview he was loving his time in the backline. Throughout his appearances in the media he’s been open and honest, calling out teammates and the overall performance, imploring the team first approach and do your job buy in needed for us to be there late in September.

He has shown over several years he’s a team first player and great clubman, but still he was doubted.

But those who jumped to conclusions, won’t learn the player/coach name and thread title will change but the responses will remain the same

And it protects the club so if they ever do want to leave which could happen one day, then it's all in the club's hands.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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?
