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.

For personal reasons. Just announced on SEN ...

Family first, footy second always..

Tough though to hear.

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

Do we think that he will be back this season?

Edited title accordingly.

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

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.

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
