    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: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
