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.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
