Best to Gus.

    Devastating news.  The Norm Smith curse is well and truly back.  Best for Angus I suppose, but the AFL will now be quivering through their lack of duty of care.  There is ample precedent on concussion injuries.  The AFL were warned.

    My all-time favourite player taken out of the game by condoned thuggery.

    The sadness and anger is beyond words.

    Brayshaw will be all right because he is a champion human being as well as footballer, but he deserved so much more luck than he had.

    Heart break for Gus.

    His teammates too.

    Super brave decision - but obviously the right thing for him though.

    CTE is a nightmare. Hard not think it will ultimately change the sport.

    Fir one thing, I'd go with goody's take, and flat out ban the bump.

    People will say it would change footy too much - but would it really?

    I mean how often does a bump actually achieve something other than rattling someone's cage?

    Tackling is almost always the better option than a bump in terms of say winning the ball back and/or preventing an opponent disposing of the ball.

    Thanks Gus for all you've given the club and fans.

    I hope the karma bus runs that thug Maynard over this year. I’m still beyond angry about what happened last season. I will never, ever forget what he did.😡😡

    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 Magyars Maynard hit had ended his career and the AFL ticked it off as ok.

    In fairness Laura Kane stepped in and initially had Maynard suspended.

    Too upset to comment properly at the moment. Had to remove myself from the office at work as was tearing up.

    My favorite player just retired too soon and its heartbreaking.

    Take care Angus, we all care about you so much and feeling for you at the moment.

    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.

    I'll go bananas on KB game make no mistake 😡😡😡

    Genuinely shocked.

    His health is the most important thing. I'm sure being married to a Frawley helped him with this decision. Best of luck in retirement Gus.

    Next time we play the pies i want to see Maynard get the treatment from our boys. special dispensation. What a scumbag that guy is.

    Feel sad for Gus, wish him the best, he didn’t get justice for having his health and career ruined and  I hope sues the effing [censored] out of the AFL.

    Performative.

    The AFL put on a woeful case and then didn't appeal a ridiculously flawed decision.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
