The Age interview with Goody did mention that Angus was travelling at the moment.

Sadly, James Brayshaw just did the big freeze slide and said he was due to go down with Angus but Gus had 'other things to contend with at the moment'. Hope he's doing ok

There are no words for my hatred and rage towards Maynard, Collingwood and the AFL.ย 
There is only one game I want to win this year, and thatโ€™s today.ย

See I really would have been surprised if Angus did that. I reckon the last thing he want to do today is be there at the G.

ย 

Not even a fleeting whimper to avenge what happened to Angus Brayshaw by Brayden "The Thug" Maynard.

The Melbourne Football Club was as soft as butter today.

ย 

From the outside the pain appeared to go unacknowledged. Surely some kind of something - name on the banner, speech.....something.... ย 


Perhaps the pain of the supporters is more pronounced than the pain of the club at the incident. We arenโ€™t pragmatic, we are emotional. Players and coaches canโ€™t afford to be.ย 
ย 

I would have been fine if we ignored him and won. But we [censored] the bed AND we were unnecessarily friendly to him.ย 
A kick in the guts to the supporters and most importantly to poor Gus. Hope heโ€™s enjoying his trip and didnโ€™t watch it!

Gus is trying to move on from this. I think itโ€™s time we did as well.ย 

according to the sun...

1st year of contract post concussion forced medical retirement: up to 90% covered
2nd year of contract post concussionย forced medical retirement: up to 75% covered
3rd year of contract post concussion forced medical retirement: up to 50% covered
4th year of contract and beyond post concussion forced medical retirement: no cover

gus had four years to run

WWSW can you advise what this actually means to Gus and the Club I was a bit confused.??

I think it means we still have to swallow just under half of his contract in the salary cap over the next 4 years. Farcical.

the first year after forced retirement 90% of his salary is covered in the cap and each year after the amount covered is reduced - so by the time brayshaw's contract with us finishes 100% of whatever he was owed will be part of our salary cap total

we just got ROGERED

no, worse - by the final year of his remaining contract, ALL of whatever he was owed will contribute to our total salary cap payment

i hope we hadn't back-ended his deal...

I wonder what Collingwood's exposure is re Murphy? My guess is: the concessions suit them a lot more than they suit us....

they extended his deal by several years at the start of this year, but not more than three further seasons

Well there's a surprise. As I thought.


How is it not 100% out of the cap? Seriously. What logic is there that we canโ€™t replace a medically retired player entirely?ย

Can we still re-negotiate the terms of the contract i wonder? for example bring 90% of the money owed into year 1, so that the impact would be lessened given the 90% cover?


The club should take the AFL to court, as we are effectively down 1 vg player for four years, that makes no sense.!!!

Certainly worth thinking about. The Test Caseโ€ฆ.

I think we will be able to shift money around if required and the impact is mostly in the cap for this year (when we played a man short on our list).ย

I am very interested to see how our club reacts to this idiotic decision, hell we expect to pay Gus in full but not from our player payments like having one hand tied behind your back. In that case Collingwood should have to share our burden.!!!

Pretty impressive that a single Maynard bump can take a couple of million off a rival club's future salary cap.

I think we can all see the missing piece of the puzzle is any application of culpability.

ย 

Best solution I can think of is to create a fund which is supplied by a system of fines for clubs based on the frequency of injuries inflicted on opponents and on dangerous behvaiours. It also adds an element in between 'nothing to see here' and 'weeks of suspension' for the relatively minor dangerous acts on field.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
