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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
