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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
