How are all the panic merchants who assured us he was on the way out doing today?

    Haven’t overpaid. Gus has taken significantly less than what he would have gotten elsewhere. He got ALOT of interest and some really good offers.

    Great to hear. Good on him.

    Will never doubt you again Gus

    Probably more like 4 until he gets shipped off to the Tassie team

    Humble pie for all the posters that stuck the boots into Gus.  Way OOT.

    As I saw it, Gus was THE poster boy for a selfless club. 3rd in a brownlow playing in the middle, then makes way fr the 3 demon bulls and plays both defensive wing and HBF. Excelling at both.  Losing Jackson may be the bigger loss on field in time but in terms of the culture and many intangibles Gus was irreplaceable. I’m stoked.

    No stress mate :) just playing the game. I know for a fact players sign and sometimes it’s not announced for an extended period, it’s all a timing and marketing game for clubs but the players know 

    So Jackson signed 3 months ago right?.... Right?

    This is unreal.

    I’ve always thought he had good character. Sincere apologies for starting to doubt it.

    This is a super important signature for the club, particularly from a cultural perspective. I’m absolutely stoked.

    Now, let’s bring this (premier)ship into port.

    As an aside, I think it’s the right decision for him too - he would’ve been crazy to leave this club at this stage of the club’s journey and at this point in his own career.

    He’ll become a club legend now.

    I don’t really understand what he said in the media a couple of days ago though - pretty bizarre given today’s fantastic announcement.

    A few years I thought his career may be over with his concussion problems, so it's quite miraculous he is where he is

    If the Gus wants a media profile.  He needs another premiership or three.   Let’s go get one

    Fantastic news. Just gives you a boost and I'm sure the players are rapt.

    Glad you're staying Gus, now I don't have to worry about you wearing an Essendon jumper.

    If he turns into another Dermott Brereton, I can do without the premierships.

    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.

    Would have been absolutely shocked if Gus left - great to see him stick with the mighty Dees

    Coniglio has turned things around this year, but the Giants will lose young talent due to his contract.

    It’s a shame. He’s a great bloke too, good leader. 

    And if it was in isolation it might be ok but they have Whitfield, Kelly, Greene and Coniglio on $900+. Essentially, we pay less for Oliver, Petracca, May, and Gawn.

    He’s not in the 20 best back flankers according to the afl player ratings. He can’t kick. He can’t man up.

    He’s in AA contention via the media, many of whom happen to be close family friends. 

    He looked great against rubbish sides who kicked it to him. Not sure he’s had more than one coaches vote over the last two months.

    You're seriously trolling. What exactly do you mean by "he can't man up?" His defensive work has been impeccable this year. There have been numerous games where he's saved multiple goals with his intercept marking. 

    And your claim that he only performs against "rubbish sides" is just wrong. He was among our best in our win against Brisbane and in our losses to Collingwood and Geelong. He could've easily won the award on the Queen's Birthday.

    Your contempt for some of the players is simply too much.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
