Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028


Demonland

Recommended Posts

The other lens to this i think we cannot look past is the pressure it then puts on MFC to let LJ go in order to keep Brayshaw. Others have mentioned a conflict of interest here given it’s the same player manager and perhaps a ploy by Freo and the management company to give them some advantage in negotiations.
 

If that was ever the case, and I wouldn’t past player managers to sink this low, I’d be absolutely filthy.

Player managers must sometimes drown in conflicts of interest.  I wonder if they have any code of ethics  to cover cases like the Brayshaw/Jackson one.  (rhetorical wondering I fear)    It's not just a simple case of doing their best for each player independently.

i think their code of ethics is also referred to as their bank account

I think it is a simple case.

Managers do talk to each other as well and have a fair idea what is happening around the clubs and if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be doing their job properly.

If he knows Jacko is leaving, he then gets the best price for Gus by the usual means, which includes interest from other clubs.

FWIW I think Jacko is clearly gone and Angus will stay for about a 5 year deal.

I don't think it can be that simple Redleg.   Do they have ethical standards preventing them revealing to player A what may be a confidential matter about player B without clearing it with B first?   And what if he doesn't know Jacko is leaving (say) and that he;s probably staying? Does he tell Gus to ask for more money elsewhere - that leaking out may negatively affect Jacko's negotiations.    They really need independent managers in such cases.

And a pick around the 20 mark might deliver players such as Tapscott, Blease, Maric or Strauss (for a proven player like Brayshaw)

 

Hope you enjoy that little flashback, folks! haha

And a top 5 pick might get you a McLean, Sylvia, Morton, Watts, Scully or Trengove....

Then you will need 800 managers, one for each player. Otherwise there is no way of stopping managers knowing things. Of course they do. They all talk to each other as well, as I said.

It is that simple.

The Manager doesn't have to tell Gus exactly what Jacko is doing, he just uses the info himself and tells Gus to leave it to him.

No Manager is going to go blurting to his clients what others get, unless it is public info.

They just get the deals done, all helped by inside info, which is part of their business skills.

Say a Manager has 4 players at one club and they all tell him the Coach is hopeless, obviously he would use that info to steer other clients away from that club.That is part of the job and nothing wrong with it.

Which is why I would want a regular 22 player for us as part of any deal, plus a high pick and steak knives, like maybe Meek.

What a mightmare it turned out to be ... hard to believe that we didn't unearth 1 topliner with all those picks in the top 20

I accept the whole development angle and we weren't a greatly run club (prior to AFL intervention ... PJ & Roos) but you'd reckon that at least a couple of players could have shone through (?)

And then in steps JT turning draft picks into gold.  A big attribute of his has been his ability to turn 1st & 2nd round picks into solid talent (and premiership players)

Brown, Langdon, Hibberd, Melksham, Tomlinson, May, Lever all came to the club using draft picks that would have otherwise been used on 18yo's

As well as of course drafting 18yo's that have turned up trumps ... Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Jackson, Kossie, Rivers, Bowey, Salem and various others

JT is a real success story and we have a lot to thank him for

But I highly doubt he'd be happy if we only ended up with pick 19 for Brayshaw

And I'm with Redleg, we won't be losing him

Of course 800 managers is impossible.  And everything you say is true.  But I still see the potential for conflicts of interest (without blurting).  So in the absence of 800 managers, any professional body should have  a code of ethics to manage that and minimise such conflicts.  I doubt player managers do (but of course I don't know).

edit to add:  Since managers presumably get a percentage of the players income, there is a conflict right there if they are representing 2 players in a Brayshaw/Jackson situtation. Unless of course  they have no incentive in maximising their own income.....

They might push Jackson to accept less from Freo  (without saying why) to enable Brashaw to get more out of MFC.  No reason to assume this would be financially neutral for the manager.    (For the purposes of saving DLand from litigation :)> I am not suggesting any naughty behaviour by their particular manager, just using those familiar names to make the general point.)

Sue, they do have a code of behaviour, but as in any business/profession, you just hope they are behaving honestly and ethically.

I think their careers would have panned out differently if they arrived at MFC now.  All could play.

There’s nothing I have to go on with this but I think Gus will stay, LJ feels gone to me which hurts but he helped us break the drought so it’ll be hard to stay too mad at him (as long as we get good compensation). Gus always seems to show a passion for Melbourne that’s only met by Viney and Petracca, whether that translates into him staying I don’t know but I reckon he and his manager are doing what Viney did last year. Play the field to make sure they maximise the contract.

Get Acres in the Jackson deal. If we lose Gus, send Acres to the wing and Jordon to fill Gus role down back. We don’t lose too much there. Get Meek in the Jackson deal also to back up Gawn in the ruck. 

Acres is a turnover merchant that St Kilda were happy to let go...

You may be forgetting how good he was at the start before the dreaded foot settled in.

No we're not.

Trengove was good, but it wasn't up to the standard and class of Brayshaw.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
