I wonder who North and Saints are going to convince to re-sign next? please offer a Mil for Gus and he will sign next week

So wrapped for Gus. Plenty of improvement left in him which is the most exciting part. Awareness/judgement and kicking will improve further Id say, as he has a good technique. Love his tackling too, they usually stick

2017 is the only year out of that lot that we'd had anything approaching a decent side. the other years we were dismal and would have lost playing anywhere/anytime

Never seen him play but Strengths are exactly what we need and weaknesses can all be irradicated by training/experience.

laughable article. She is one of first who used to say the Melbourne Boys Club is ruining the place - before Roosy came along - and now past players and melbourne people 'arent happy'. what a joke. and Malthouse isn't happy? he signed that damn succession plan himself so he can complain about himself Pert oversaw a period of success at the Pies, won their first flag in 20 years and had them commercially flying. And to call him a discard after being a CEO for 11 years is disrespectful. Clearly they were very happy with him the majority of the time Jog on Caro

Loved his speech in front on the backline. Does not waste words this young man the morale and friendship amongst the group looks genuine and terrific. a critical part of any future success

Mick is still so bitter about the Buckley succession deal. you signed off on Mick! I think Pert will do very well, he oversaw a period of success on and off the field for Collingwood. they made a mistake with the buckley move but stuff happens. That young 2010 team really should have won 1-2 more flags but Buckley decided a re-build was in order, hilarious! they are only now recovering 6 years later

what a joke of a thread

Any reason to assume he would not join Hawks or Cats like usual? the Cats may not have that much cap space but I'd imagine he would go there for less if needed

Cant think of many if any A graders that have gone to bottom of the table teams. although they get more money when they leave they always go to a team with at least decent change of a flag in the next few years

Thanks for the warning

The kid is a massive unit! Gone are the days of skinny 18 yo’s

he is not a line coach - ie primarily responsible for the fwds/mids/defs so the reporter is full of BS

Yes. I’d say the time to panic is now. ?

Great response Gus. Can't wait to see what you can do with a run of games under your belt

Colin Silvia harley Bennell the obvious next step is Hird. Wtf is going on? It’s like people expect us to forget he is a drug cheat

Sloane is a very good player, but not a star thats worthy of big bucks IMO. he went missing a fair bit last season when tagged don't get me wrong, a very good player and leader

Awesome news - congrats JT!!

no worries. yeah never 2 and player or 3 first rounders. or 2 really high picks? treloar was 7 and 9 but they got 25 back so depends how we go next year. Judd was 3 and Kennedy was it? but kennedy was an unknown morton was 88. hard to judge

id probably take 4 out of those 10 years. so I guess we won the trade 60-40???

I said the most ever. i.e. there has never been more given up for a player

A lot of pressure on this bloke to be a superstar. two first rounders is the most given for any player ever isn't it? I've only seen him play a few times and I've only seen a good defender. Hopefully he is the second coming of SOS considering he is OOC and nominated us, it is hard to fathom how we have given so much. Oh well, we move on and trust the FD that have done so well in the past few years. at the very least it will be nice to have someone who can take a mark and kick accurately down back!

not sure, but IMO a Pulley is better than a Lever and a Wrench is better than a Rance

They have changed anything. They didn't want him to go, they know he will now and they are cracking the sads. We should have waited until later to make such a offer

Difficult to do when you've already shown you are willing to offer two picks. Easy to do if you'd only offered pick 10 for example. Basic negioation tactics
