Dear Gus, I've been a Demons fan since 1968. Seen a lot through the years, but a player like you will always be remembered. To me, you're up there with Barassi, Flower, Stynes, and Gawny. I consider myself lucky to have seen you play. Thank you for everything.
Being forced to retire at 28 while in your prime must be a sickening feeling for Gus. Thanks for all you’ve done for the club and wish you well for the future
Makes that mark back with the flight in the granny even more unbelievable. So courageous on the field, and now so courageous to put his health and his future first.
Oh Gus, it can be a cruel game this footy caper. Congratulations on a great career with the Dees. You never left us questioning your devotion, be it out on the field or off it. Whether it was racking up possessions or doing podcasts with Gawny, you continually brought Althletism, intelligence and humour to everything you did. Well done young man, you should be proud of the legacy you have left with the Demons family. Onward and upward for the future as i am sure your story has many great chapters to be written. Cheers Mate.
I would like to thank you Angus for the joy that you have given me. I have loved watching you play. Your efforts in the flag victory are deeply imprinted on my psyche. You epitomised the rebirth of the Melbourne Football Club. I am saddened for the loss of a great player but you will achieve great success in your life. You have a great deal to look forward to with your skill set. Enjoy the rest of your long life.
You are an awesome human being Gus! If the world could produce more people like you, we’d be in a better place. You have been the heart and soul of the club. Thank you for giving us a flag! We are so proud of you! You are brilliant and will go far in life. Best wishes. Dees for life ❤💙
We love you Gus for everything you have done for the Melbourne Football Club. You are forever immortalised in our rich history and will never be forgotten. Once a Demon, Always a Demon 😈 👍
Took a few days for me to actually listen to this because damn it hurts. Thanks Gus. You're one of the greats, and a premiership player, and the love we have for you will never change.
God my heart breaks for this quality human. Being a good player is hard, being a good player and an even better human is very rare. Gus is that. What a decision he has made. His children will thank him. While it’s raw, it’s sad and it ducks being a Melbourne player of such quality be caught short, I think the strength and courage is so incredible. Well done Gus. You are a champion and you are setting a path for the next people to come through to make sure that this is taken seriously. This will save lives! Well done.
That was really tough to watch. Having been a dedicated follower of Melbourne for nearly four decades, I want to express my gratitude, Gus, for your remarkable contributions to the club and the exemplary way you conducted yourself on the field. The third quarter of the 21 Grand Final will forever remain ingrained in my memory as one of the most unforgettable moments in Melbourne football club history. It wasn't just about skill; it was about your unwavering commitment to the team, demonstrated by your willingness to put your body on the line and rally us back into contention that day. You exemplified true leadership when it was needed most. I trust that your legacy, both in your style of play and your character, will be cherished and honored by the players and staff at the MFC for years to come. Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors.
What a season gus we will miss you, you helped the club to win a premiership, you’ve done so much for the Melbourne footy club. We know it’s not how you wanted it to end. ❤
I followed the 2014 draft that whole year praying we’d pick Angus and Trac, believing they’d be able to save us from the doldrums and lead us to a flag. Boy did they deliver - thank you, Angus ❤️💙
Gus, you're a credit to your family. Such a good bloke. If you're not in the media next year I will be disappointed. Don't dwell on the negative but focus on the fact that you're a loved person and there's a bright future in front of you.
You've had a great career mate and hopefully have a blast with whatever you do from here. Amazing how far Melbourne have come in your time, will always be a premiership player but also you seem like a great bloke, so take care. ❤
As a supporter you are MELBOURNE I hope the players appreciate the situation they are all one injury away from where you are in one word when you say Angus Brayshaw SELFLESS enjoy the the of your journey in life thank you 🏆🟦🟥
pies fan here. it sucks to lose such a great player due to many head knocks, good luck for your future endeavours Gus best of luck to you and your family.
Love you bro! So saddened by this, it actually has taken me a couple goes to watch. You are the DEES. Glad you are putting your health first, wishing you all the happiness and success you deserve. ❤💙❤️💙
Max is probably shattered. Have you thought about doing what Hodgey is doing, cos of your experience with Guss and Gawny, and you got a mouth on ya. It would add valuable experience to any call, and perspective on concussions others don't have. A coaching Job at Melbourne would also allow the fairytale to continue. Just a thought... Handled like cookie dough, molded into the shape of a soldier:) Good luck with the next chapter...
The entire Melbourne team better get payback when they face Collingwood next. That selfish player deliberately put his shoulder in and took one of your best players out permanently. If the league wouldn't do anything then you lot better.
Oh fuck up you idiot, by that logic Collingwood players should go after Lincoln Mcarthy for almost retiring Nathan Murphy.. 1 more concussion and he is done. Brayshaw, Mcartin etc are sad stories But do Melbourne go after every other bloke who concussed Brayshaw? SMH it’s a contact sport where these players put their body on the line fully aware of the consequences while getting paid a fuck ton. You absolute flog, sad unfortunate story like this and you say shit like that. Shows the type of person you are, absolute wanker mate.
You’re a flog mate, stop starting shit that was an accident. It’s a contact sport with some unfortunate outcomes. Should Melbourne go after every bloke that gave Brayshaw a concussion? Should Sydney and St Kilda go after everyone that gave Mcartin concussions? Should Collingwood go after everyone that has given Nathan Murphy concussions? 1 mind you was a legit punch to the head by Rioli and another was a punch by that St Kilda dude. Go look at Brayshaws other concussions from actual dog shots, the final one was a legit accident going to smother a ball at full speed. Just shut up you muppet, sad story like this and you say shit like that. Dumb as bogan skin rat
@shannonbarron7302 You’re indicative of most of the Melbourne supporters and coach’s hysterical and unhinged response to this incident. Both the MR and tribunal found there were no grounds to sustain the charge in spite of the AFL’s desperate attempts to string Maynard up. The truth of the matter which no one is prepared to admit is that Brayshaw should have retired long ago. If you have a predisposition to concussion maybe you shouldn’t be playing a contact sport. He owes a duty of care to himself you can’t put it all on the opposition.

I am a Cats supporter but loved watching this guy play football. His game in the 2021 Grand Final was a joy to watch.

So sad
His career will live long in the heart for MFC fans
You've done so much for the club mate, you're a weapon. Gave so much heart to each game.

It is a SAD day for Dees fans
Is there a video of him telling the boys?
Max is probably shattered.
Have you thought about doing what Hodgey is doing, cos of your experience with Guss and Gawny, and you got a mouth on ya. It would add valuable experience to any call, and perspective on concussions others don't have.
A coaching Job at Melbourne would also allow the fairytale to continue. Just a thought...
Handled like cookie dough, molded into the shape of a soldier:)
Good luck with the next chapter...
I wish Gus every thing great in your life. You will be sadly missed. Boo to Maynard. He will be remembered for ending your career. 4:15
Slept him
Very Good player, happy he got a Flag! Buy BSV mate and retire in a few years when the world adopts it!
You might have had the game taken away from you early mate but they will never be able take away that hairline.
The entire Melbourne team better get payback when they face Collingwood next. That selfish player deliberately put his shoulder in and took one of your best players out permanently. If the league wouldn't do anything then you lot better.
Oh fuck up you idiot, by that logic Collingwood players should go after Lincoln Mcarthy for almost retiring Nathan Murphy.. 1 more concussion and he is done.
Brayshaw, Mcartin etc are sad stories

Haha I'm guessing you're a Pies supporter @@michaelhehir8116
You must be an Eddie groupie, how's the KoolAid?@@michaelhehir8116
I hate Maynard
Me too cheap shot skunk haired Gaynard
Gaynards cheap shot took out this player's future.
Why should u get the 3m for doing nothing ever again
U won the lotto
This is a cry for pity and a desperate act for attention. He expects everyone to care and the AFL world to cry for him. Sad
Mate your the one wanting attention with this dumbass disgusting comment
Disgusting comment
Very funny. You should make a lot of money on social media!
Your the one crying for attention with this type of comment. Sad
It must be sad for you too, as an Albino you would surely crave attention and sympathy for your strange appearance.
