Has been on the cards for some time, good luck Aussie.

If what you are doing isn't making you happy, then stop doing it. A shame for the club in the circumstances but there is a much bigger picture here.

    Oh gee...probably struggling over last year's events.

    The club should send Aaron up there in a coupla weeks just to chat.

    Edited title accordingly.

    Now we're thin on short forwards for the time being.

    Must be a hard decision for him, but family comes first!

    Do we think that he will be back this season?

    Short forwards, attacking backs, ruckmen, midfielders....basically everything really

    It is a real shame but not unexpected given the circumstances. I hope he does return at some time in the future because I would be concerned that it could potentially effect Jurrah's performance and commitment to his footy career as well, given how much they enjoy playing together.

    I get the feeling it might be different to, say, a Troy Taylor - let's just give him time at the moment. We know the club has a superb mentoring system for the indigenous players, this is where it comes into effect.

    Has obviously been an ongoing issue all year. Good to hear that he has the courage to admit that he needs some time to sort through this tough time.

    Absolutely devastating news. I know he's been struggling a bit, but hopefully this issue is what has been eating at him. Please let this not be an untimely end to what could have been a great career. I'll miss ya Aussie, good luck.

    Yeah I agree the club has some good structures in place to suppor the indigenous players but they can only do so much.

    Grief is inconsiderate intruder in ones life. It cares not for who or where you are in your journey. Iit just visits without informing about any date it wishes to leave. :(

    Aussie will need to deal with it amongst those who understand. Football is a part of his life but not his life and he'll need to come to terms with a lot thats missing, a lot that once made sense and now doesnt.

    I wish him well, i wish him healing and eventually a hapiness realised in the memory of the ones he cherished and now mourns.

    Dont worrry about the football, just care for those that need it, yourself included.

    Lifes road will take you where youre meant to go. Good luck with that.

    Clearly needs time and glad he is getting it. I like the club's supportive tone at what is a difficult time for Aussie and the club itself.

    He won't be back.

    Good luck mate.

    Yeah, this was my initial reaction as well. All we can do is hope that he can get himself firing again, and that he's able to sort everything out. Can't imagine how hard this must be for him.

    All the best mate, and hope to see you back on the field soon!

    Whatever criticisms have been thrown at Bailey about his coaching, the article shows him in a good light.

    Best of luck to Aussie - hope he's back soon.

  • Quote

    I hope young Aussie can spend some needed time with family and friends and come out of the situation stronger for it. I hope he is back and can get some consitancy as I still feel like he has potential to be an above average player.

  • Quote

    Aussie has had to deal with so many setbacks since the start of his short career, but his injuries are miniscule by comparison with this one. All the very best Aussie, and well done Melbourne Football Club.

    The MFC should be congratulated for its understanding of Aussie's need for a break to clear his head and go through some necessary grieving with his family back in the Tiwi.

    There is every chance that he'll come back better than ever. Good luck Aussie and well done Demons.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
