    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.

    Great news - a real boost for the Club. How are all you bad-mouthers feeling now???? Some of the venom in this chat was unbelievable.

    6 year deals are fine for players in their prime like Gus. By year six I sincerely hope we're trying to figure out how to deal with the contract of this 4 time premiership star who is past his best.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
