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. 
There is only one game I want to win this year, and that’s today.

I hope he finds solace in his travels.

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.

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

Perhaps the pain of the supporters is more pronounced than the pain of the club at the incident. We aren’t pragmatic, we are emotional. Players and coaches can’t afford to be. 
 

I would have been fine if we ignored him and won. But we [censored] the bed AND we were unnecessarily friendly to him. 
A kick in the guts to the supporters and most importantly to poor Gus. Hope he’s enjoying his trip and didn’t watch it!

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

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

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.!!!

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).

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.

 

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
