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.

    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.

    He won't be back.

    Good luck mate.

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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
