    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
