Great news but kinda weird comments from him on SEN the other day in hindsight!

Only if you read into his comments. The text was there - it’s a big decision, he will make it when he wants to, he has his own desires for his future.

Evidently, he wants to play for the Melbourne footy club and with some pretty good players for the rest of his career.

Some people are never happy, are they?

Onya Gus.  May you play in many more premierships with the mighty we now have

We now have 3 players on 6+ year deals.

As I said in my comment. the part you cut out.

I love Gus so im happy,  and hopefully it's front loaded to balance out with Trac and Oliver's contract.

Can someone explain to me what the hesitation is for signing players on 5+ year contracts?

We now have multiple Trac, Oliver and now AG but what is the problem, salary cap space in the future injury costing one player a season or two? Isn't signing longer deals allowing Melbourne to lower the amount they pay the players?

Love it, love it, love it

so impressed that the club has been able to resign a great core of players in long term deals…it really does set us up for the future

well done Gus - love that he’s committed to the Dees ♥️💙

Gus stays.

(Saw it in a dream, he was holding the cup at the G with three fingers in the air - premiership #3, of course)

Either way, my guys - we good.

Called it. I hardly ever remember my dreams, so when I do - they're bang on!

Now to the second part of the dream. Gus was there, so we have 2 more flags by 2028!

Hopefully (and most likely) well before 2028, of course.

Stephen Coniglio would be the cause for pause.

They are no brainers for me because you avoid a bidding war in the future and we basically can assure recruits and coaches that you have this talent for the decade so why wouldn’t you want to be here.

Injuries are brought up as a reason not to do this but they happen, it’s not like we wouldn’t keep a 30 year old Oliver if he did his knee (touch wood).

6 years is too long IMO,  hope they have front loaded it.

But Gus is my Fav,  so I'm also happy

Agree wholeheartedly. I love what he brings to the team so I’m happy that he is staying. I was also concerned about the negative impact if he had taken up another offer. Jackson returning to Perth is understandable and can be explained away.

My only concern is that long term deals have a financial risk particularly with a group of players on long contracts. And Gus does have a concussion history. That’s a risk but the club has no doubt taken all that into account.

Didn't break the news on the podcast. Pathetic.

In all seriousness this is a great signing. Gus is a key cog in our successful culture and leadership. Versatile and good player onfield for sure, but this was a big cultural signing to keep the core together. Go Dees!

Absolutely fantastic news!

The only tiny downside is that both Angus and Clarrie's contract extensions were announced before away games.  As @The heart beats truesays, it would have been great to cheer their every touch in a home game immediately following the announcement.

I find it difficult to think the Brayshaw that gave this interview with Garry Lyon after the Grand Final is holding out for money or looking elsewhere to play midfield minutes (particularly at 2mins in).

It's our club Gus.

Gonzo we can watch this to our heart's content today with a smile!

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 approach and do your job buy 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

And it protects the club so if they ever do want to leave which could happen one day, then it's all in the club's hands.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    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’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. 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. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
