I know Gus had a shocker in the Coburg final but I'm willing to give him some slack this year as that broken foot stuffed up his preseason and preseasons make a huge difference to ruckmen in terms of their agility and movement (think Simmo 2007). Now that still doesn't explain why he was given an extension if he still had a year to go on his contract but with a full preseason coming up I think Gus will make a big step up in 2009. He needs to.

earlier on I was impressed with Gus tapwork, didnt see much of him this year other than a less than impressive effort in VFL final where he looked half the player of Cartledge and there are question marks on him...so a suprising move...I agree though he came back from a nasty foot injury that impacted his pre season

Giving him a go in 2009 is one thing, signing him for 2 years is another

Angus Graham got a 2 year deal about this time last year (was reported as the case).
I'm not sure why he'd need an extension. Well, he wouldn't.  ???

He was only signed for this year FF and has been given 2 more years... heard that whisper at the B&F

Unlike someone I'm happy that Sarge has had his contract extended. As it has been already stated he's a required player with the downing of Polak.
We would have made a big mistake in letting him go to another team.  A great decision, I think.

On Sarge being re-signed I am like you bushranger more than happy with that decision

True but I know the club rates Gus highly and has faith after a full preseason he'll play seniors. As a 21 year old 200cm ruckman he was going nowhere.
