    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
