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.

    For personal reasons. Just announced on SEN ...

    Family first, footy second always..

    Tough though to hear.

    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.

    He won't be back.

    Good luck mate.

    Strangely that was my very first gut reaction....both bits !!

  • Quote

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
