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

Look on the bright side. You have something to whinge about for the next 6 years.

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

Good to hear.

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.

Celebrate your own re-signing Jacko!

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.

Did Gus run over your cat? I don’t understand

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.

“Look at me, I’m so different and quirky for having this opinion!”

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.

Might just be happy for his mate.

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
