It has been stated in numerous articles that the AFL medically retired Gus. I can't find the ones with the exact words "medically retired by the AFL" but have read them in a few articles and here are a few more. Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun Clubs are already wanting clarity on salary cap protection for players who are medically retired by the AFL. Brayshaw case will be something of a precedent. Brayshaw was medically retired from the AFL on Thursday, effective immediately, as a result of repeated concussions that could compromise the health of his brain later in life. Combined with extensive neurological testing and discussion with medical experts, a "devastated" Brayshaw has been medically retired from the game. 7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne Melbourne star Angus Brayshaw has told fans he's been left shattered after he was forced to "medically retire" because of concussion. He told teammates he was shocked and shattered to be medically retired from playing as he described his ordeal this summer in a letter to Demons members. The AFL is expected to have discussions with Melbourne about the salary cap implications of Angus Brayshaw’s retirement given he has five more seasons left on his contract. The league medically retired Brayshaw and while the Demons spent Thursday farewelling their premiership star, his position will clearly set a precedent for all clubs.

Haven't seen any references to us training the house down lately. Just as well.
-
Can't see that happening, when the AFL ended his footy career themselves.
-
We still have an arm and a leg.

Good to see you back. How about just “Gus Thanks”.

Do we deserve one for Gus, given the AFL medically retired him, 3 days after the Supp pick time ended? A pick 3 Premiership player, who has finished top 5 in the B& F last 2 years.

Richo said we won’t be asking the AFL for a pick now. Apparently content with our position of 2 players down.

Good luck. Think he just signed a new contract late last year. He is supposed to be great mates with Howes. Maybe the go home factor can arise.

Pretty different acts to me. One was a king hit behind play, the other was a bump to the head sort of in play. One was a criminal assault and the other a bit of rough/dirty play. Collingwood lost John Greening to a king hit years ago by Saint Jim O’Dea. Greening could have been anything, he was brilliant.

Hope the Logan money stops offers for JVR.

I would like Marshall.

Hope you are ok WCW. Come back soon, with your effervescent optimism for the Dees.

It does feel like there is an agenda.

Good answer.

I think that will ultimately be the scenario, as Verrall looks to be really improving. KFW is still a chance in the next few years, if he can put on some muscle. Pity he isn't a bit taller, but then again he is the same height as LJ and was very highly regarded by the SA state coach.

As opposed to?😉

He was medically retired by the AFL as I understand it. I stand to be corrected if that is wrong, but I think Gus was saying he didn’t want to retire. Ralph just wrote that the league medically retired Brayshaw and that will impact on who pays his contract.
-
Tom Morris said he would receive every cent, it's just a question of who pays, club, AFL or Insurer, or a combination.

Given this an AFL directive through their medical team to retire him, the timing of this has impacted a club severely and the AFL should simply give us another 7-14 days, to take a replacement if we want to. They have done this, not Gus. It is the AFL's timing. Are we saying they got the medical report only on wednesday. Highly unlikely, as medical people would have had to meet and discuss it.
