    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
