    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
