His speech was brilliant, I feel terrible for him though. Just hope he can find happiness doing something aside from playing whether that is in footy or not.

Definitely a career cut short. Could have been him receiving the brownlow

Still wild that he finished third that one time. Made even better by the fact that he didn't cop an invite to the count lol

 

[PerfectFooty]

Some wildly defensive pies fans in the replies with hardly anyone else bringing up the incident

Yep, With a sweatshirt chilling at home.

Went to sleep after his speech, figured they were going to euthanise the retired players on stage after/during the song and I didn't want to have to see that. Vale

im a...." then I saw him holding a glass of champas and realised he actually wasn't.

I thought is was fantastic. A moment of authenticity surrounded by some of the worst television masquerading as entertainment you ever could see. And I’d love some more ads to have been slotted in there because they were great. Really impressive by Gus, particularly given I have heard he’s been struggling this year.

get a mention in the speech? Would have been nice if he whished his step ladder well in their retirement. The mark and goal is outrageous football but the bit where Gus kills Josh a minute after is fantastic viewing.

His post-gf speech with Garry was all-time as well.

How many times will Simon Goodwin mention that we lost Gus in 2025? Over/under 3.5?

Should be zero, probably will last the season at least so I'd smash the over.
