After 167 games including the drought breaking Premiership Angus Brayshaw has made the heart breaking decision to medically retire from football as a result of a series of serious head knocks over his nearly decade of footy. We wish Gus all the best and he'll always be a hero at Demonland.

Theory - the angry spirit of Norm Smith had no jurisdiction in WA but now he is back with vengeance.

Devastating for Gus.

We’ve taken some hits over the last 6 months with all the issues, however this one will have a lasting effect on the team for 2024

So sad but it's probably for the best for his health.

An Integral part of 2021.

Deleted and re-written a few things about Maynard but hopefully this thread can focus on Gus' positive impact on the field for us.

Bummer

It's probably the right call but I'm sure it was a hard one.

As much as I want to call a certain somedog out, I think most of all I want to say thankyou Gus for your commitment, dedication and passion you gave to our club.

Best of luck with all your future endeavours mate.

Best call for his long term health. But really sucks from a team perspective. In our top 5-6 must important and best players. 

Dark day for the the Dee's and the AFL in general. That Maynard hit has ended his career and the AFL ticked it off as ok.

Moving the incident from the finals to one side, this is a sad way to end your career but a great call.

He provided some of my fondest highlights in 2021. His set shot in the GF was laser like.

Enjoy the additional opportunities to hit the golf course Gus and thanks!

Lets see if Collingwoods media team kicks another own goal and lets Maynard attempt to wish Brayshaw all the best. After the netball repurposing, it's certainly something that they are stupid enough to do.

..... Seriously though, if he comes out to say anything publicly, I'll do my nut.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
