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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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?
