Angus Brayshaw Forced into Retirement

Had a family chat today.  My siblings maintain the rage - we talked about Gus' speech, how gutting it was, and then how angry we still are that Maynard got a Premiership and Gus got a life sentence.  Can't do anything about it.  Poor Gus is stuck not able to do so many of the things he would have done a bit over a year ago to maintain his mental health and now, most of them are gone.  No wonder he's in a pit.

    The best form of revenge, is a comprehensive defeat next season.

    As I watched the grand final yesterday, I said to my dad how I would love to inflict this sort of humiliation on the Pies in a grand final. That would truly be the best revenge.

    I'm never sure whether I would get more joy beating Collingwood in a Grand Final by 10 goals or by beating them by 1 point after being behind all game.

    I'd take either, of course.

    Humiliating them is the only way to go. Beating them by 1 point will give them excuses to say they should have won.

    Belting them will leave them with no doubt that we are much better than they are.

    I'd rather have the belting. Otherwise my heart won't be able to cope.

    Apparently Angus has a table of family members attending including his Uncle James.

    I hope he can somehow find some peace with the closing of his football career & the club. 

    He may just speak then leave

    The full payout to Gus has been revealed to be $3.1 million.

    https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/exercising-with-demons-christian-petracca-returns-to-training-track-20241122-p5kssh.html

    From the article:

    The Demons had been negotiating with head office to push more of Brayshaw’s five-year payout outside their salary cap. Under current rules, 90 per cent of Brayshaw’s 2024 payment is outside the club’s total player payments, with 75 per cent in 2025 and 50 per cent in 2026. But the fact he was contracted until 2028 means the full amount of what could be a heavily back-ended contract must also be included in the salary cap in 2027 and 2028.

    Hmmm $3 million and we're fighting to minimise the pay out?  I wonder what Gus would potentially receive in a successful court case for impact on lifetime earning capacity against the AFL...

    This was expected and unfortunate. Angus Brayshaw had to be paid out.

    I hope Angus Brayshaw considers legal action against the AFL, Collingwood and Brayden Maynard.

    We're not fighting to minimise the pay out, We're fighting to have more of it paid outside the salary cap.

    The 'Age' article also mentions that we have posted an operating profit of $1.7 million.

    No doubt this figure would have been much higher if it were not for various legal costs.

    The $1.7m is the operating profit and excludes the one off legal costs and Brayshaw payout. In reality we posted a $1.6m statutory loss, ie the $1.7m ‘profit’ has already added back those legal costs

    Wait and watch for the 2029 rule change that allows all impact injury payments to be completed outside the cap.

    Are details around Collingwood's Nathan Murphy available?

    From memory, they re-signed him the off-season he retired, but only for a couple of years. So I'd assume most of his is covered outside the cap

    It actually makes no sense that a retired players salary is in the salary cap. They are no longer playing, so why should that affect the ability to pay other players under the cap. Fair enough we have to pay him out of his contract, but just don’t understand the reasoning behind the cap issue

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
