Am I a prick for being dirty on Gus if he leaves? If Jackson leaves he was clearly always going to, but Gus was nursed through concussion issues then given a very generous contract in 2018 after one good season. He proceeded to do nothing in 2019/2020, had a good 2021 and is having a great 2022. Now if he leaves it’ll be purely due to money imo.
Personally I'd be dirty on the club if they didn't bend over backwards to keep him. He's not just a hero, but a legend as well. There should be a statue of Angus, of that mark, outside of the MCG. A statue made out of gold and erected on a platform made out of red and blue diamonds.

(did have some average years tho, but I think the fault there lies on the coaching group on that one too.)

Edit: solid gold, of course, purest you can find. 24 karat only, none of that cheap shit, none of it!

would not call him a star, just a good player. half backs always overrated imo

How does your brain compute id chose Brayshaw over Salem therefor I must think Salem is shit?

Gus is AA level defender. Salem isn't. Hardly a hot take.

The fact of the matter is sometimes you have to make hard decisions with players in your salary cap.

With Bowey and Rivers coming thru Salem makes sense as someone to trade that wont leave us shorthanded at the position while netting us a good return.

Highly likely trading Salem this isn't even considered, its just BF hypotheticals.

Yeah wouldn't trade him unless we need cap space badly

I want to keep all our players and recruit my favs from other teams. Let's lobby the AFL to expand list sizes to 100.

Exactly, everyone needs to abide by the salary cap except Melbourne.

Why do we need to pay players? Everyone should hope to play for us simply for the honour of wearing the jumper.
 
What has that got to do with anything. He didnt make the AA team and he isn't making the squad this year.
Just pointing Salem isn’t far off. Angus hasn’t made it yet either, if he only ends up in the 40 and not final team then they’d be the same level of player wouldn’t they?

No, that would be like me saying Nev Jetta was in the AA squad in 2017 if we brought him out of retirement hes the same level as Salem & Gus.

Players stock and price changes year to year.

Of course they do, which is why I wouldn’t be trading Salem.

They're getting paid in exposure

depends how you view Salem, is he on the way down, can you sell now for a good price before his trade price plummets. Im not saying he is but Watts for a draft pick which turned into Fritsch worked out pretty well as an example of this when we needed cash for Lever and May.

That's a terrible take by you. Salem is definitely AA calibre. He does a lot of things better than Brayshaw. He was best on ground in the granny at half time. One of the best in the prelim also.
