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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
