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

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
