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 because they’re sad LJ is leaving.

 

Looks like Hamish and Gus were stirring the pot after all, lol!

A lot of Nervous Nellie's on here last night look a bit silly now.

But he's signed and we can all be happy with that.

Go Dees!

Great news. A 6 year deal is a good outcome for Gus. Good on him

Fantastic boost before we play Freo. I predict another top performance from Gus and 25 point Demons victory. and i predict an AA jacket at the end of the season for Gus as well

Go Dees. Whoop. whoop

 

 

I spent the last few days at the snow (make jokes of that if you will), anyway I Saw the Gus announcement on Instagram and then jumped onto Demonland for the first time since Saturday night. 

Was quite a ride seeing all the gloomy posts knowing the pot of gold would arrive several pages later.

Very happy with this signing. Love the Gus!

Great signing. I personally love the long term deals for your best players...reduces the annoying noise about potential defection.

I was getting a bit worried about him leaving and what that would have said about what we're trying to build the MFC into. Very relieved.

Brayshaw is a much improved player over the last few seasons...one of our very best at winning genuine 50/50 contests.

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 and do your job but 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

I mentioned briefly yesterday that although he said he would decide at the end of the season, no-one was going to be upset, disappointed or throw him in jail if he came out and re-signed earlier. 

It was a big decision to make, I feel he spoke the truth there. The stay factor ended up carrying plenty of weight and that isn't at all surprising.

less information.

 

On ya GUSSY!  A true clubman.

I knew the talk about ego and being money hungry was just BS.  Hopefully us fans will not believe the media BS and trust our players next time

  • Demonland changed the title to Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028

Just thrilled. Gus has become the heart beat of this team and his selfless acceptance of roles he’d ideally not be playing is a huge part of why the club won a premiership. 
 

I believe wholeheartedly this will provide a massive boost and significant relief for the players and will result in a much improved performance tomorrow night 


Never any doubt same as JV7 negotiations, heart and soul, you trucking little beauty Gussy. #10 #6years

You deserve a lot of credit my friend!

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 school since I’m gonna buy him a guitar asap. 
His response…

I've just retracted my "like". Your sources are miles off the mark. Care to share what connection your sources have to Gus?

Yeah, nah they weren’t though. They were bang on and always are. I wouldn’t have gone with this as strongly if I did if I wasn’t sure.

I don't know what to make of you sometimes. He's in AA contention this year. Ridiculous post

So Gus why did you sign on for six years. Well I was playing chicken with the club but yesterday I released that Max had already replaced me with Ben Gibson on the Podcast. I had to move quick once that happened.  

Good work @Dwight Schrute

I got excited when you broke the news then a little sheepish when i heard him speak on SEN.

Threw your gonards on the line and came out on top 👏


Great result for the Club and Angus. A strong thread in the fabric of the MFC.

Now on to Jackson.

Great news.

I won’t go so far as talking of premierships won, but the midfield core we have teed up guarantees a long run of finals moving forward. And that is a prerequisite for winning flags.

 

Fantastic news. From a cultural point of view this is an important signing. Gus is a leader of the club and has proven himself to be a big stage player. 
We also know how versatile Gus is and so I have no doubt he will still be a vital cog in our machine in 6 seasons.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
