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.

Thanks Gus, you absolute legend!

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
