    If he wants, sure. But only if he is ready. Noone should apply any pressure or rush him.

    Absolutely inspirational - at so many levels of the 'pile of what's needed' at the Dees.

    Gus, one of the greats and a pillar of Clubmanship.

    As bad as the idea to have him doing stuff on the bench r1.

    Angus had starting working with a company to do  with his study. 

    Hopefully he's creating a life outside of footy.

    Seems like he wants to stay away from the game though. Too hard for him to be around it at the moment.

    Wishful thinking - the idea is great, but can’t work in practice unfortunately.

    FWIW, I believe that our downturn in form (post Geelong game) may have coincided with Gus stepping away from the club. Honestly, at the beginning of the season, the team was playing with such lightness and togetherness - remember the  reaction to the Petracca spoil at the end of the Hawks game? It may be coincidence but, to me, it suddenly changed at the time Gus left.

    His loss has been absolutely massive - the biggest blow of all, in my opinion. He’s not only an absolute gun player, but he bonded all the different parts of the playing group together. A super smart guy, absolute clubman and a dedicated athlete - able to relate to all different types of people, therefore invaluable as a leader of the club. A complete culture setter.
     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if his departure has had a huge effect on Petracca’s thinking and also weighing on Max: Gus would have been a fantastic sounding board for those guys - someone they respected and admired.

    Haha, it's quite an aggressive thread title.

    It feels like that Simpsons episode where Tom Jones is chained to the floor and made to perform for Marge.

    Totally agree he’s been a massive loss but if his absence is the cause of our demise then there must be a huge weakness in all the connecting parts of our club. For one person to leave to have such a dramatic and negative impact is an indictment on the other leaders.

    He was pivotal in our premiership and in the grand final game itself - he turned the game or at least kept us in it when it was getting away.

    There’s some corporate rule about relying too heavily on key staff (can’t recall exactly what it is) and maybe that’s what we’ve experienced.

    Whole thing is just sad, for us all.

    Nope, if he wants to dip his toe in the water go somewhere else first to cut your teeth.

    Whether or not you agree with Tom Morris, he says in his interview on Ben Gibson’s podcast that Gus and Yze have been big losses to the club, because of their balanced natures.

    I tend to agree. Now ANB. These 2 set standards and culture. We now need a couple of younger ones to step up, like Rivers, McVee, Chandler, Sparrow, and JVR.

    I'm not sure which annoys me more; people having fantasies about fixing Gus or people having fantasies that Gus will fix us.

    Careful what you wish for Jimbo. Someone I know recognised Fly in Sydney's Northern Beaches with the Sea Eagles today. I noticed the guy next to him. Someone tell me it's a Doppelganger??

    It's not Brayshaw clearly. And I highly doubt he would go to the club that essentially ruined his career.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • 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.
