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.

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.

I am well aware of the consequences, but my Hatred of the Pies goes back a very long way. 
Victoria Park in the 70’s is something younger fans could never imagine

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.

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

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
