Best to Gus.

    Devastating news.  The Norm Smith curse is well and truly back.  Best for Angus I suppose, but the AFL will now be quivering through their lack of duty of care.  There is ample precedent on concussion injuries.  The AFL were warned.

    My all-time favourite player taken out of the game by condoned thuggery.

    The sadness and anger is beyond words.

    Brayshaw will be all right because he is a champion human being as well as footballer, but he deserved so much more luck than he had.

    Heart break for Gus.

    His teammates too.

    Super brave decision - but obviously the right thing for him though.

    CTE is a nightmare. Hard not think it will ultimately change the sport.

    Fir one thing, I'd go with goody's take, and flat out ban the bump.

    People will say it would change footy too much - but would it really?

    I mean how often does a bump actually achieve something other than rattling someone's cage?

    Tackling is almost always the better option than a bump in terms of say winning the ball back and/or preventing an opponent disposing of the ball.

    Thanks Gus for all you've given the club and fans.

    I hope the karma bus runs that thug Maynard over this year. I’m still beyond angry about what happened last season. I will never, ever forget what he did.😡😡

    Best call for his long term health. But really sucks from a team perspective. In our top 5-6 must important and best players. 

    Dark day for the the Dee's and the AFL in general. That Magyars Maynard hit had ended his career and the AFL ticked it off as ok.

    In fairness Laura Kane stepped in and initially had Maynard suspended.

    Too upset to comment properly at the moment. Had to remove myself from the office at work as was tearing up.

    My favorite player just retired too soon and its heartbreaking.

    Take care Angus, we all care about you so much and feeling for you at the moment.

    Lets see if Collingwoods media team kicks another own goal and lets Maynard attempt to wish Brayshaw all the best. After the netball repurposing, it's certainly something that they are stupid enough to do.

    ..... Seriously though, if he comes out to say anything publicly, I'll do my nut.

    I'll go bananas on KB game make no mistake 😡😡😡

    Genuinely shocked.

    His health is the most important thing. I'm sure being married to a Frawley helped him with this decision. Best of luck in retirement Gus.

    Next time we play the pies i want to see Maynard get the treatment from our boys. special dispensation. What a scumbag that guy is.

    Performative.

    The AFL put on a woeful case and then didn't appeal a ridiculously flawed decision.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
