Maynard and Cripps put players out of finals with head knocks, knocking them out cold and ended one's career and their punishment was a Premiership and a Brownlow.

Well done AFL. 

Gutted and angry. All the best Gus.

    No worries, Maynard will bring some flowers around again, and all will be ok.

    And a bottle of red wine.

    The end of Angus' long (AMAZING) letter:

    "And so, concludes me career. I have no regrets and a lot of love. My heart will ALWAYS beat true for the red and the blue. Go Dees."

    What an elite top shelf gentleman and athlete. Will be missed. Hope the guys can put aside the drama and unideal prep for the season and do it for him. A flag this year would be tough (without him, as just one of the reasons), but would be so sweet. 

    Highly recommend the read. 

    A letter from Gus (melbournefc.com.au)

    In fairness to Gus, he wrote "my career", not, "me career".

    I will never forget that as long as I live. I was at the game and surrounded by Pies supporters who looked like they had a total combined IQ of about 10 between them. I couldn’t stand it so left my seat and went and sat downstairs. I refused to talk to my husband for about a week and told him I will never, ever go to a Collingwood game with him ever again. This still makes my blood boil. 
    I have not watched one minute of last years GF and never will. It make me feel sick to think that thug has a premiership medal.

    I’m the same

    wife and their family CFC

    week after had to listen to one of them claim there was no way Maynard could have avoided and all the media was nonsense and unfair he was even at tribunal 

    never watching a game with them again

    Would love to see Gus still involved in the club in some capacity.

    With his intelligence, tact and diplomacy I could see him as a future Ambassador or even a CEO.

    Gutted. If there wasn't already a special place in hell reserved for that charmless grub Maynard surely there is now.

    I really want to get over the QF incident but I’m finding it extremely difficult (which is silly), it’s affecting family footy watching and taking about footy. Serious post. Is anyone else feeling similar? Again, genuine post

    I have just read Angus’s letter Saying goodbye. SWYL shed some tears. He is a Heart and Soul Player that will leave a huge hole within the Club this Season. 
    I am also incredibly ANGRY at the INJUSTICE that Followed that night in September. 
    I have a Filth Mate who i have known since School days. 
    I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO HIM SINCE THAT NIGHT 

    That is how much i HATE The Filth. 
     

    We must Win FLAGS against these [censored]

    For Gus and all of us

    Smash the Bastards at every opportunity 

    This was a Planned Move executed by our Mortal Enemy….

    Guess he's got the better of the deal then, fancy giving up a mate over a game of football who you have known for that long.

    I hope they hang his guernsey in the rooms before every game. This guy didn’t want his journey to end, so when at half time they need a pick me up they see it for a reason why to keep pushing.

    I feel really flat about this. We love you gussy!

    And over half the AFL supporters thought the same, I thought it was crude but they were the rules, but to lose a mate over, well that's your decision.

    Right up there with Ox’s knees. Really heartbroken for myself as a supporter but even more so for Gus as a quality person. Sincerely hope he will be ok going forward.

    All power to the Frawley family, their foundation and litigation. The AFL deserve everything coming their way.

    Performative.

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

    AFL dictated Maynard must not be suspended and threatened media with their accreditation if they pushed against it too hard.

    They're a despicable organisation, I've had enough of them.

    Congratulations on a great career Angus. All the best. No doubt you will carve a significant off field role for yourself in time.

    Of Course 

    The AFL wanted the Filth at Full Strength on GF day

    Ratings Bonanza

    The AFL would have made a killing with merchandise online. 
    Gill probably gained himself a nice little bonus as he quietly left the chair. 
     

    The evidence given was disgraceful, Angus was painted as the guilty party. 
    I hope he sues the whole lot of them, long and hard

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
